Welcome to the North
Arrive in the coastal city of Antofagasta - "the Pearl of the North". Transfer to the hotel, and meet your fellow riders over dinner. Get introduced to the route, and what to expect on this unforgettable journey through northern Chile.
Day 2
The Desert and the Sea
Leaving Antofagasta, the road heads south along the edge of the Pacific, with the desert on one side and ocean on the other. The landscape is stark and open, with long stretches of highway leading toward the small town of coastal Taltal.
Day 3
Down the Coast
From Taltal to Copiapó, the route continues south down the coast toward the Pan de Azucar National Park. We then climbs inland where the scenery shifts gradually, from arid hills to rocky outcrops, dry riverbeds, and distant ridgelines marking the way toward the mining city nestled in a desert valley.
Day 4
Into the Highlands
This is a long day. Heading east from Copiapó, the road ascends into the Andes, winding through high-altitude passes and remote desert terrain. Vast, silent landscapes give way to towering peaks before crossing into Argentina, where the descent leads to the quiet, vineyard-dotted town of Fiambalá.
Day 5
Valleys & Red Rocks
From Fiambalá to Cafayate, the road crosses rugged Andean foothills and remote valleys, passing through quiet villages and shifting desert scenery. As you near Cafayate, the landscape softens into vineyards and red rock formations, framed by the Calchaquí Valley’s dry beauty.
Day 6
Relax in Cafayate
A rest day in Cafayate offers time to explore local vineyards, sample regional wines, and stroll through the quiet town plaza. Nearby trails and rock formations invite short rides or gentle hikes.
Day 7
To the High Plains
From Cafayate, the route climbs along the Calchaquí Valley, winding through red rock ridges and terraced vineyards. Beyond Ampato, the ascent continues into arid highlands, passing small villages and salt flats before reaching San Antonio de los Cobres.
Day 8
Crossing the Andes
Leaving San Antonio de los Cobres, the road climbs to the Andes’ high passes, crossing vast salt flats and windswept plateaus. After crossing the Chilean border, a long descent leads into the oasis town of San Pedro de Atacama.
Day 9
Rest & Stargazing
In San Pedro de Atacama, a rest day invites you to wander vibrant markets, tour natural wonders like geysers or salt flats, or unwind in peaceful desert surroundings with quiet plazas and shaded patios.
