Reuthers
Patagonia El Sur / South America
Semi Guided Motorcycle Tour

Welcome to Punta Arenas, in the south of Patagonia.

Early in the morning you will pick up your Harley-Davidson motorcycle and start your Patagonia motorcycle adventure to the end of the world on the road with the same name, the Ruta del Fin del Mundo. With the ferry you will cross the legendary Strait of Magellan and at San Fernando the border to Argentina. Your overnight stay is in Rio Grande, largest city of the island Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America and capital of the departamento of the same name in the Argentinian province Tierra del Fuego.

Around noon you reach the southernmost city of the world, Ushuaia, the capital of Tierra del Fuego and called the "end of the world". Here, at the entrance to the Tierra Del Fuego National Park, numerous highlights await you, which is why you are staying for two nights.

For today we recommend optional excursions. On the one hand a boat trip on the Beagle Canal with course to the Bird Island, Sea Lion Island, the lighthouse Faro Les Eclaireurs and finally to the penguin colony on Martillo Island, where you can walk amongst the penguins. As a second option we suggest a ride on the End of The World Train, which will take you to the National Park Tierra del Fuego and then take you on a round trip by bus. Both and other highlights in Ushuaia must be booked immediately, as the capacities in this part of the world are limited all year round.

In the early afternoon you leave Ushuaia. Experience has shown that many people will come back soon, because they are eager to visit such locations again. Today you return to Rio Grande and enjoy the ride on your Harley-Davidson motorcycle through mountain passes and popular ski resorts.

Just as you arrived, you will return, but this time you first cross the border into Chile and then take the ferry across the Strait of Magellan. From the end of the world you return to civilization, to Punta Arenas.

The second part of our Patagonia El Sur tour takes you to El Calafate. The village is located in the Argentinian province of Santa Cruz, near the South Patagonian ice field. El Calafate is best known as the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park with the huge Perito Moreno glacier.

Feel free to visit a top highlight in Argentina: The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the largest outlet glaciers of the Campo de Hielo Sur, the largest glacier area of the South American Andes. In a comfortable bus can drive to the National Park Los Glaciares, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and take a boat tour and a hike directly to the glacier. The Perito Moreno Glacier is the size of the city of Buenos Aires and with a bit of luck you might witness how a piece of ice breaks off from the glacier front with a loud roar and then drops into the Lago Argentino.

Via La Esperanza you continue riding along the Argentinean Ruta 40 to the border crossing to Chile and then directly into the Torres del Paine National Park, where your overnight stay is planned at Lago Grey, near the glacier.

A popular viewpoint and photo highlight is the Condor Lookout, which you can reach after a short hike. Up here you have an amazing view of the Torres del Paine, three needle-like granite mountains, which are between 2600 and 2850 m high and are the landmark of the National Park. For sure you will see the Andean condor circling directly below you, a species of bird that is one of the New World vultures and nests on the lookout of the same name.

You leave the National Park, pass Puerto Natales and finally reach Punta Arenas for returning your Harley-Davidson rental motorcycle.
