Chile is less known than his neighbour Argentina and nevertheless it offers a variety of many protected natural spaces.
This country everything in length offers to the riders the extreme contrast of the driest desert of the world - the Atacama desert in the North - and of the hard climate of Patagonia in the South.
The Patagonia is divided between the Argentina and Chile, and it is indeed far from amounting to areas of infinite Pampa!
Its most spectacular landscapes are in Torres del Paine's park, which pulls its name of the sharp peaks which dominate glaciers and lakes and the profile of which is comparable to no other one...
In this privileged environment, you will have the choice of an accommodation in bivouac or in refuges and estancias.
The Atacama Desert offers all a range of the mineral world, the salt lakes in the canyons of rock salt, by way of valleys papered with fairy chimneys sculptured by a particularly active erosion in the total absence of vegetation.
This ride is also the occasion of a meeting with our guide Juan, one of the last indian Atacameños.
The Patagonia of Lakes, in the region of Chiloe and Puerto Montt, offers a different face, made by volcanoes, forests and lakes, for a ride to a particularly attractive rate. |
