Cycle Tour Chile: Northern Austral Road

The tour is 11 days long with 9 days of cycling.

This trip is of medium-high difficulty, covering 150 km of gravel and 350 km of pavement. Experience in recreational or sport cycling is desirable, and participants should be in good physical condition with adequate training on slopes and long-distance endurance.

Yes, that is not a problem. The operator will move your box to the end of the tour on the first day so it is waiting for you at the end of the tour.

Mattresses, tents and all camping gear is supplied – everything except the sleeping bag, but there are potentially some available if you don’t want to bring your own. 

The team will set up the tents and all the camping gear. Each tent is shared between 2 people (the tents are 3-person tents).

Dinners are included at the campsites. The team prepares them on camping nights because there is no restaurant nearby.
