Cycle across an entire continent on this epic, fully supported adventure from the Pacific to the Atlantic. The Trans Andean Coast to Coast from Rat Race is a 13-day journey through the heart of South America, traversing the Andes Mountains, remote valleys, and high desert plateaus. Starting on the Chilean coast, riders climb to 3,832 meters at the Christ the Redeemer Pass before descending into Argentina’s famous wine region and onward to Buenos Aires.
This challenging ride is suited to experienced cyclists ready for consecutive long-distance days over varied terrain—from smooth tarmac to gravel and winding mountain roads. Highlights include a dramatic 2,500m climb over the Andes, a 170km descent into Mendoza, and the cultural contrasts between Chile and Argentina.
Accommodation includes a mix of hotels, refuges, and B&Bs, with all meals provided (except one evening in Mendoza). Full mechanical and medical support is included throughout. The 2026 edition of this event is already sold out, so don’t hesitate and pull the trigger for 2027 now.
