South America adventure
  • The best time for motorcycle travel in South America is usually spring and autumn (September to November and March to May), when the weather in most regions is pleasant and the roads are well accessible. From May to September, dry and stable conditions prevail in many parts of the continent. For Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, the summer months (December to March) are particularly recommended, as the climate there is noticeably milder. South America offers several climate zones, from tropical rainforests to dry deserts. In the Andes, sudden weather changes can occur all year round! Good preparation and flexibility are therefore essential. Popular routes such as the Atacama Desert in Chile or the Carretera Austral impress during these travel times with spectacular landscapes and unique riding experiences.
  • In our opinion, motorcycling in South America is generally very safe. In countries like Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile, we never had the feeling of being in a risk situation. All our tours are designed to minimize the risk, so our customers are always on the safe side.
  • The security situation in South America is regionally very different. Organized tours in South America are however safe and incidents are very rare.
  • Of course! Many of our customers travel in pairs. We give you tips in advance about which tours are particularly well suited for two people, with comfortable roads, less gravel road share, comfortable accommodations.
  • In South America you will find numerous festivals that are ideal for motorcycle travelers. The Festival de la Luz in Colombia attracts many motorcycle enthusiasts and offers an impressive light show. In Argentina you can visit the Buenos Aires International Festival, where you can experience local culture and music. Experience also the Carnaval in Brazil, which is known for its exciting parades and music, perfectly suited for motorcycle-loving adventurers.
