The hotels were beautiful and I could tell the lodging was chosen with great care. The food at each location was amazing and the views were breathtaking. I was able to experience new scenery and try the local food. I could not have asked for a better vacation.

TERRAIN: HILLY TO MOUNTAINOUS
The terrain is hilly country, with a few long climbs through the Andean steppe as we ascend the spine of the Andes. Chile is best suited for our Type 3 Riders. Type 4 Riders will enjoy the extra mileage the avid route options offer.
NON-RIDING ACTIVITIES:
This 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:
  • Amsterdam to Bruges
  • Ireland
  • Provence
  • Portugal
  • Piedmont
