Motorcycle trip in Argentina: through North Patagonia

Now back on the tar road, we quickly head south over Londres to Chilecito and Nanogasta, where we turn onto the gravel road that takes us over the colorful pass Cuesta de Miranda to Villa Union.

First, on a small asphalt road, it passes by San Juan through wine-growing areas on to Mendoza, the wine capital of Argentina.

Continuing south on Route 40, we pass orchards and lakes, with the Diamante volcano in the distance. In San Rafael, we dive into the breathtaking Atuel Canyon and follow this canyon to the Nihuil Lake. We are now geographically in northern Patagonia. We continue over El Sosneado to Malargüe. Overnight stay in the pleasant town of Malargüe.

Today we are venturing into the volcanic landscapes of Copahue, Caviahue. First, we cross the Neuquen River, then continue along its valley to the traditional village of El Huecú, before advancing into the volcanic mountain region of Caviahue. We will continue towards Villa Pehuenia, a village at the foot of snow-covered volcanic cones, located by sparkling lakes surrounded by Araucaria forests. We will spend the evening at the idyllic Lake Aluminé.

On this day we enter the lake region of Northern Patagonia on the 7 Lakes Road and arrive in Bariloche, the capital of the lake region located at the foot of the Cathedral Mountain.
