Holiday Information

An Epic Mountain Biking journey across some of the worlds last true wilderness regions, our Wild Patagonia holiday promises to deliver an unforgettable experience. Our bikes will take us into the remote Andes giving us the opportunity to explore untouched valleys and cross high passes through the mountains. The scenery is nothing short of breathtaking! We'll be surrounded by high mountains, climb through rugged valleys and roll alongside peaceful lakes.

Arriving into Bariloche allows us to sample the luxurious food and wine that this alpine town is famous for before setting of on our adventure. The terrain is varied and constantly changing and includes hard-packed forest roads, challenging climbs and long, sometimes technical descents. The singletrack sections are amongst the best trails on the planet and the effort put in to get to them makes them even sweeter! A final night in the beautiful lakeside town of Puerto Varas is the perfect way to end our tour and remember the many highlights experiences along the way.

This trip is specifically designed for fit and experienced riders. The riding is demanding the routes are often isolated. Supporting us on our journey will be a team of local experts including guachos on horseback carrying our camping equipment and skilled small-boat operators helping us cross otherwise impassable river valleys.

Holiday Feedback

Worth every peso!

It’s an expensive trip and it’s not for the faint hearted but worth every peso. I’ve never stayed on a private island before, been to South America, had such juicy steaks, drank so much smooth red wine, ridden in such a remote and beautiful location, had such a laugh, bent my wheel so much (oops!) or had such a fantastic holiday! Thanks Steve, Ernesto, Vincho and them great, great gauchos.

Trip of a lifetime!

If I could only remember who talked me into this one I would buy them a very large chilled Austral beer; maybe even two! Trip of a lifetime is a term people use far too frequently (in my humble opinion!). But his was that for sure!! Here’s to my next holiday with Skedaddle and looking to it being just as amazing as this one…pressure is on, boys!

Bloody Amazing! Could not have wished for anything more from a trip.

I’m not going to fill in the feedback form as you haven’t a column for Bloody Amazing! Could not have wished for anything more from a trip and you’ve set the bench pretty high now. This was my tenth trip with you and without doubt Numero Uno. It you are looking for an adventure… because that’s what it is… by bike in stunning and unfrequently travelled part of the planet this trip is for you.

I loved it! Wild Patagonia indeed.

Tempted by the lure of red wine and steak and some ‘out there’ mountain biking, and I must have been the easiest booking you ever received. Even though I’d not camped for a while (that’s 20 years)- I loved it. Who isn’t going to enjoy the freshest barbequed lamb cooked in the middle of nowhere by a gaucho, the company of some great people and seeing my buddies bathe in a stream. Wild Patagonia indeed!

Bryan, UK
Well done Skedaddle – you knocked this one out the park!

How to hell do you start to organise something like this? Gauchos on horses carrying our bags, 10 mountain bikers, a dog, amazing food and wine – sorry horses…we like a glass / beaker of Malbec I’m afraid!, vehicles, mechanics, dinner with the local major, a private island and some of the most incredible riding on the planet. Well done Skedaddle – you knocked this one out the park!

John, Tyne and Wear
Truly memorable!

I’ve been to some great destinations and had my experience tainted by the guides (not Skedaddle I hasten to say), but not this time! Ernesto, Vincho and Steve are stars of the bike saddle. Arnie is the hero of the horse saddle and Straws and Paul need a massive thanks for having the idea of putting together something that is truly, truly memorable.

Richard, Derby
Absolute classic!

My first ever Skedaddle trip and what an absolute classic to choose! This trip had everything and more besides – if you are looking for a real adventure in a stunning part of this world then this trip to Chile and Argentina is a must.
