Day 1 – Arrival in Calafate, Argentina

Day 2 – Perito Moreno Glacier Ride
We begin at one of Earth’s natural wonders: the Perito Moreno Glacier, a rare giant that continues to grow against all odds. Ride out, refuel with the glacier as your backdrop, and savor this unforgettable stage. (Return transfer to Calafate included—though you can pedal back if your legs demand more.)

Day 3 – Lago Argentino & Glacier Navigation
Stage 2 dives deeper into Los Glaciares National Park. After a powerful ride, we’ll board a boat to sail Lago Argentino, surrounded by walls of ice and floating blue giants. A day for awe, balance, and perspective.

Day 4 – Queen Stage: Argentina → Chile
The ultimate test. A century ride through Patagonia’s wilderness takes us across the border—Argentina into Chile(passport ready!). The stage ends in the heart of the legendary Torres del Paine National Park, where granite towers pierce the sky. Tonight, we rest at Hotel del Paine, humbled by the view.
Hotel: Hotel del Paine
Day 5 – Torres del Paine Exploration
A lighter day, but no less magical. We’ll spin through the valleys of Torres del Paine, exploring its wildlife and breathtaking vistas. After lunch, relax or ride back to the lodge—it’s your call.
Hotel: Hotel del Paine
Day 6 – Into Puerto Natales
We leave Torres behind and ride toward the windswept beauty of Puerto Natales. Fjords, endless skies, and the first whispers of the End of the World will frame our ride. Tonight, we stay at the cozy Weskar Lodge.
Hotel: Weskar Lodge
Day 7 – The End of the World Ride
Stage 6 crowns our journey. We climb to Puerto Natales’ highest point, gazing south toward the Fin del Mundo. On clear days, the very tip of the continent reveals itself. That night, we celebrate our epic adventure with a Farewell Dinneramong new friends.
Hotel: Weskar Lodge
Day 8 – Departure
We return to Calafate, Argentina, where our team ensures smooth transfers—either to the airport or your next Patagonian stay. Adventure may end, but Patagonia stays with you forever.

What weather can I expect during the tour?
Ecuador is known as the country of eternal spring. In that sense, the weather is unpredictable, it can be sunny and warm one day and cloudy and rainy the next. Despite this, you can expect temperatures not less than 50 degrees nor more than 80.
At what height will the tour take place?
The average elevation at which we will ride most of the time is 5,900 feet; however, the last stage reaches 9,000 feet above sea level.
Can height affect me?
CLIPPED has developed the tour with a progressive increase in height and with rest days with the aim that cyclists adapt to the height in the best way; however, each person reacts to altitude differently. We have support vehicles that monitor cyclists permanently and can provide support if necessary.
Should I bring food for the route?
CLIPPED will provide you with everything you need (gels, bars, isotonic drinks, etc.). Your only concern should be ride and enjoy.
Does the cost of the tour include bicycle rental?
The tour cost does not include bicycle rental; however, this is a unique adventure and we recommend that you experience it alongside the apple of your eye. CLIPPED will take care of assembling and disassembling it at no additional cost. If you wish to rent a bicycle, please contact us.
After the tour I want to explore Ecuador. Where can I store my bike?
CLIPPED can store your bike at no cost. Get in touch with us to coordinate the details.
I want to bring a companion on the tour; however, they won't be cycling. Can I do that?
For an additional price you can bring a companion; however, it is subject to the availability of the hotels.
I would like to explore Ecuador after the tour. Any recommendation?
Taking advantage of your trip to explore other places in Ecuador is an excellent idea. We particularly recommend visiting the Galapagos Islands (a World Heritage Site). To organize your trip throughout Ecuador, please contact Rebecca Adventure Travel, our partner agency. They will be able to provide you with the best options tailored to your needs.
