ATACAMA EXTREME DESERT RIDE
9 DAYS | 8 NIGHTS
MARCH TO MAY, SEPT TO NOV
Chile, northern - the perfect desert ride
An awe-inspiring, in depth immersive desert experience across a part of the driest desert in the world. The little known 105,000 square kilometres (41,000 miles) of Atacama Desert, covers a plateau in northern Chile between the Pacific and the Andes. A challenging ride – with canyons to negotiate, and long days in the saddle – brings huge rewards from the up-close encounter with this phenomenal region.
9 DAYS / 8 NIGHTS
ITINERARY
Nights are a mix of small lodges and wild camps, sitting around a campfire in idyllic locations, as we cross the ‘alti-plano’ over huge sand dunes, through canyons, across salt lakes… stopping to soak in natural thermal springs along the way and always watched over by the towering San Pedro and San Pablo Volcanoes.
