Hi! My name is Aljaz. I grew up in Slovenia and have a great passion for travel and cycling Over the years, I’ve done practically everything around it, from backpacking and living abroad to taking on various summer jobs, being a camp counselor and volunteering in various countries. Whenever it comes to organizing trips, I’m always the one who ends up planning, and I genuinely enjoy it.
For this route, the accommodations will be planned accordingly. Guesthouses, Airbnbs, and hostels are abundant in key towns like Santiago, San Fernando, Curicó, Talca, Malargüe, and Viña del Mar. Opting for private rooms ensures comfort and recovery after long cycling days. Many places along this route also offer cyclist-friendly amenities, such as secure bike storage and laundry facilities.

This 14-day bike touring route starts and ends in Santiago, Chile, forming a loop through the central valleys, the Andes mountains, and parts of western Argentina.
