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.

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.

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.

View full itineraryThis destination is best suited to guests who want to cycle every day. Because of the terrain and/or remoteness of the hotels and riding routes, there are few, if any, non-riding options available. If a non-rider wants to accompany a rider guest on this trip, they would need to spend many hours in the van and/or at the hotels on the trip. Due to this, we strongly discourage non-riders from this destination. As an alternative, call a Trek Travel Trip Consultant at 866-464-8735 for trip suggestions where more non-rider activities are available, such as:

Sharing the joy that comes with wow moments
Trek Travel guides are dedicated to making moments that last a lifetime, and we invite you to thank them with a trip gratuity. These are customary and at your own discretion, to recognize service, hospitality, and the little extras that surprise and delight. For this Signature trip, we recommend between $280-$350 per guest and, of course, you may choose to give more if your guides made your trip an unforgettable experience.
Like everything else about your vacation, the Trek Travel team is here to make this experience easier for you. While local currency in cash is preferred due to the lack of electronic payment methods in this region, you may also tip with your guest services representative on the phone before or after the trip.
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.
You cannot put a price on a wow. But you can show your thanks for an exceptional experience.
