Hop on the two knobby tires of a mountain bike to take your adventure travel in Argentina to a new level. This increasingly popular sport can be an enjoyable experience of Argentina if you take the time to plan out a trip that fits your interests and difficulty level. Patagonia and Barriloche are the most popular regions where one can find tour operators offering the equipment and guides for this activity.

Río Mayo – in Patagonia – counts with six routes in which you are bound to find groups of mountain bikers, some of which are coming or going to Chile, and where you will be able to enjoy diversity in landscapes.

For a trip that combines on and off road cycling, Capilla del Monte in Córdoba is a remote yet magnificent location. You will have to ask around for a bike rental shop, as there are not many, but you will be well taken care of once you find one.

Some tips to make your journey safe begin with wearing a helmet, one that fits you properly. Check your bicycle before you leave, paying particular attention to the chain and air pressure in the tires. Always keep water with you as rest stops may be few in between urban areas. Finally, plan your trip according to the difficulty level you feel you will be able to reach without overworking yourself.
