About trails in Argentina

Argentina's routes range from the Andes in the west to the pampas around Buenos Aires. In Mendoza, the Potrerillos High Andes Hike climbs to about 2,700 m in the foothills near the Potrerillos reservoir, and in Patagonia the Laguna Azul Hike, El Calafate reaches a lake near Lago Argentino. The Chubut Patagonian Steppe Drive crosses dry grassland near the Chilean border.

The Córdoba to Sierras Chicas Ride heads 96 km into the hills west of Córdoba, a popular training ground for local cyclists. The Salto and Rojas Pampas Ride shows the flat farmland of Buenos Aires province, and the Buenos Aires Night Bike Ride explores the capital's bike lanes after dark, when the streets are cooler and quieter.

Best time to go: October to April is the best time for Patagonia and the Andes, with mild weather and long days. Winter, from June to August, brings snow to the mountains, but it is a good time for riding around Córdoba and Buenos Aires.
Terrain: Terrain ranges from flat pampas near sea level to Andean trails at about 2,700 m. Most routes are moderate, with harder climbs in the Sierras Chicas and on Patagonian roads.
Permits & access: Patagonian distances are long and services are limited, so carry fuel and supplies. Trails in Los Glaciares National Park near El Calafate require an entrance fee.
