Immerse yourself in the adventurous culture, breathtaking landscapes, and diverse cuisine on this once-in-a-lifetime bike tour in Chile.

Chile’s Lakes and Volcanoes District is a cyclist’s dream, offering a playground of breathtaking landscapes for active travelers. This bike tour begins in Pucon, a vibrant outdoor hub, and takes you toward the Argentine border. Ride along the Lakes & Volcanoes Scenic Route through lush Patagonian rainforest, past the iconic Osorno Volcano, and along the shimmering shores of Lake Llanquihue. Tackle thrilling terrain surrounded by live volcanoes, pristine lakes, and endless open roads. Along the way, enjoy Chile’s warm hospitality, traditional cuisine, and exceptional accommodations. It’s no wonder Chile has been named South America’s Leading Adventure Tourism Destination for ten consecutive years by the World Travel Awards.

Trip Wows
  • Slip into your dancing shoes and move to the beat of live folk music as you learn the cueca, Chile’s spirited national dance

  • Enjoy local Chilean cuisine, including asados (BBQ), sopaipillas, yerba mate, Carménère wine, and Pisco Sours

  • Marvel in the views of the looming Osorno Volcano from across Lake Llanquihue and then tackle the climb to its base

What Guests are Saying
Person outside in nature - Lakes District Chile

This was my second trip with Trek Travel. I highly recommend not only Trek Travel but this trip to Chile. The hotels are first class with view from your hotel rooms that are simply fantastic. The riding in Chile can be as challenging as you would like it to be from rolling hills to a climb up to the near top of a volcano with 20% max grades. Overall a fantastic trip with great food and guides that care to make sure you are having a great time.

Just completed a week long tour of the Chilean lakes and volcanoes region - a superb area of the World, great climbs, excellent roads, perfect weather (not too hot/cold), fantastic scenery, very friendly people, wonderful hotels and cuisine. Met and exceeded all of my expectations and would definitely return.

Cyclist posing with volcanoes in the background

We have participated in many cycling tours around the world. This was our first Trek Travel Tour. The scenery was breathtaking and the accommodations were nothing short of spectacular. The accommodations really set Trek apart from other tours - I don't think we would have been able to find these amazing hotels and spas if traveling on our own. The road surfaces and riding conditions were excellent throughout the tour. We were able to take advantage of the avid rides each day which made the tour suitable for experienced riders.

Chilean barbeque

I always dreamed of a South American adventure, but nothing quite prepared me for the natural beauty of the Lakes and Volcanoes Region of southern Chile. Around every corner seemed to be another snow-capped volcano piercing the landscape as we pedaled our way around pristine lakes. Ruben, the local guide made the whole experience that much more rewarding with his extensive knowledge and appreciation for his country, all with an infectious enthusiasm. Each accommodation was truly unique and spectacular and the food was always delicious and abundant, but the warmth of the people will have me returning in the near future.

Trip Inclusions

Additional Details

Know Before You Go!

We want you to be fully prepared for your cycling vacation of a lifetime. This involves making sure that you choose  the appropriate trip for you and that every aspect of your experience is flawless. Each Trek Travel trip is unique to ensure maximum enjoyment every time.

Your Trip Need to Knows:

  • Shuttles: The Lakes and Volcanoes District is one of the most visually stunning areas in Chile. Yet, also one of the more expansive. Please note that most days require shuttle times ranging from one to two hours or more. These extended shuttles are essential as we aim to save your energy for the best part of the ride that day. Our goal is to immerse you in nature, offering views of volcanoes, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, and other breathtaking scenery. Sometimes, this means a drive is necessary to reach these destinations.
  • Hotels: On certain dates, we use alternate hotels, which may necessitate slight modifications to the itinerary to suit the new locations. Rest assured, any changes to meals, routes, or activities maintain the high quality of the original plans. See the Hotels and Dates & Pricing sections for more details.
  • Air conditioning: Due to Pucon’s cooler climate and its elevated location near Lake Villarrica, Hotel Antumalal does not offer air conditioning. During warmer spells, opening your windows is typically enough to keep your room comfortable.
  • Dining in Chile: While our guides do their best to “keep things moving,” service and meals can feel slow. Chile’s culture around food is much slower than what most North Americans are used to but it is part of the experience to savor and enjoy both the meal and the company you are keeping.
  • Packing: Layers! Layering is the best way to regulate your body temperature. This tried-and-true strategy is all about slipping layers on and off as your activity level or the weather changes.
  • Horsefly season: Horseflies can be more prevalent in certain areas during your trip. For January trips, we recommend bringing light-colored clothing, as these flies are more abundant during this month and are less likely to bother you when wearing lighter-colored clothing. While the flies are harmless, they can bite and be a nuisance while hiking.
  • Bikes: Please note that the Domane+ road bike on this trip features an aluminum frame. This differs from many of our trips world wide. See the Bikes & Gear section on this page for more information.
  • E-Bikes: E-bike speeds vary worldwide due to local regulations, which determine how fast you can ride with assistance. See the E-bike speed chart to see the maximum speeds allowed in each region.

These are customary and at your own discretion, to recognize service, hospitality, and the little extras that surprise and delight.

Gratuities will be divided among the guide team, so feel free to leave your gratuity with whomever you choose at the end of your trip.
