Brazil, Argentina, Chile & Bolivia: This is an epic ride from the Atlantic to the high Altiplano.

This is an extraordinary ride that takes us from the shores of the Atlantic at Rio to the high plateau of the Altiplano and onto across deserts to the wonderfully ramshackle city of La Paz. From the “cidade maravilhosa” (marvellous city) of Rio, we ride the emerald coast, one of the worlds most beautiful coastal rides. We visit wonderful jungle scenery, the world’s greatest waterfalls, isolated deserts, snow capped volcanoes, and the hauntingly beautiful Altiplano. A highlight of this extraordinary ride is the incredibly stunning, other-worldly, remote and challenging Salar de Uyuni, three days are spent crossing the high altitude Salar (salt pans) passing active volcanoes, colourful flamingo filled lagoons and geyser fields, these days will stay with you forever. A truly unique ride not offered by any other operator, join with us and experience this ride with a difference.
