ARGENTINA BIKING ITINERARY
Trip Length: 7 days/6 nights
Start/Finish: San Miguel de Tucumán/Buenos Aires
We have had our eye on this region for years. It’s Argentina’s
great northwest, an unspoiled area of stunning landscapes, deep
cultural heritage and now—thanks to a massive road-building
project—some wonderful biking. Mother Nature has outdone herself
here: big skies, enormous canyons and mountain peaks, and an
awe-inspiring array of colours. We find our way into the soul of
the place at every turn; from the strong Inca and Catholic
traditions still alive in the rural communities to the flavours
that have fed generations of Altiplano people and rhythms passed
through centuries.
Trip Highlights:
- Ride to the ruins of Quilmes or hike in the impressive
canyons of the Flecha Gorge
- Bathe in barrels of bubbling waters spiked with cabernet
at a wine spa
- Experience the quiet surroundings of “Salta the
beautiful” at the foothills of the Andes mountains
- Ride through a cloud forest and explore the “Town of the
Seven Colours”

Accommodations:
Patios de Cafayate, Cafayate
This charming 30-room boutique hotel is situated on the
property of the El Esteco winery. Manicured grounds hug the
hotel’s colonial architecture, while vineyards drape the
surrounding hills. Temptations include the innovative and modern
“wine spa” and the outdoor pool.
Sheraton Hotel, Salta
The Sheraton Hotel is set on a hillside in the quiet Monumento
neighbourhood, about a 20-minute walk from Salta’s historical
centre, and offers views of the city and the Andes from every
room. It also boasts a spa, gorgeous outdoor pool, and all the
conveniences one has come to expect from a modern, international
hotel.
El Manantial del Silencio, Purmamarca
This stylish hotel, built with local materials, is infused
with the traditional colonial spirit of this area: antique
tapestries, sofas buried under cushions, and gourmet Andean
cuisine by a famed Argentinean chef. The outdoor pool is
immersed in the oasis of green that surrounds the hotel.
