Motorcycle Tours South America – Andes, Machu Picchu & Volcanoes

South America is the Andes in their purest form. In Peru you ride above 4,000 metres through the highlands, along Lake Titicaca to Cusco and Machu Picchu. In the north, Argentina opens up the coloured mountains of Salta and Humahuaca, plus vineyards and wide gravel roads. Colombia links green coffee country with dry desert and colonial old towns. Further north, in Central America, you carve through Costa Rica and Nicaragua between volcanoes, rainforest and two oceans. Many trips are pure enduro tours off the tarmac, others relaxed road trips. You ride adventure bikes, and every tour is guided – by a leader who knows the altitude, the language and the roads.

Top Routes in South & Central America

From Peru's high Andes and the coloured mountains of northern Argentina to the volcanoes of Central America: these are the routes that best introduce you to Latin America on two wheels.

Altitude, distance and tropical contrasts: Latin America asks more of you than an Alpine trip – and gives back landscapes you'll find nowhere else.

South and Central America have no single travel window – region and altitude are what matter. The high Andes of Peru and northern Argentina ride best in the southern dry season from May to September, when the mountain days are clear and stable. Central America – Costa Rica and Nicaragua – has its dry season from December to April. Colombia sits in between and rides best in its drier months, December to March and July to August.
