SURF AND SINGLETRACK - XC Chile

NEW! Photo Gallery

Chile is one of the world's most spectacular countries: 4,000 km of Pacific Ocean coastline compete with the massive Andes mountains for bragging rights to Chile's top natural attractions.   On this trip we'll sample both, with singletrack riding and Pacific surfing, and we'll throw in 4 days in the spectacular Atacama Desert in Northern Chile, one of the driest and most scenic deserts in the world, with geysers, lagoons, and volcanoes up to 6,000 m high!
