Ancient araucaria forests. Smoking volcanoes. Hidden lagoons at the end of trails no map will ever show you. On our journey through the Araucanía you'll feel like the last explorer on earth.
You'll ride your e-bike through lava fields, dense native forest and along crystal-clear Andean rivers. We'll ascend to wild bivouac camps under stars so bright they seem close enough to touch — then descend on trails we've ridden for years but never grow old.
You'll experience the living culture of the Mapuche people, share their land and their fire, and leave with a piece of the Araucanía inside you.

Intermediate to advanced. You should be comfortable riding for 5–7 hours per day on technical mountain terrain. E-bike assistance makes climbs manageable but this is still a physical challenge. We recommend cycling 3–4 times per week in the months before.
You should be confident descending on loose volcanic terrain, handling roots and rocks at moderate speed. Previous mountain biking experience is essential. We'll assess your riding on Day 1 and adapt trails accordingly.
Just a small personal bag. We provide all riding gear, camping equipment, and clothing layers. You need: passport, personal medications, quality sunscreen, sunglasses, and comfortable evening clothing. We'll send a full packing list on booking.

Fully charged batteries at the start of each day. Support vehicle carries spare batteries for multi-day stages. We plan all routes around battery range — you will never run out of charge mid-descent.

Get StartedThe Araucanía is our home. We've spent years riding, mapping and living these mountains. We know the people, the trails, the seasons and the stories that no guidebook will ever tell you. This land runs in our blood — and sharing it with you is what we do.
