Area Information
The Las Trancas Area
With the tallest mountains in the Southern Hemisphere, the Andes Mountains are host to a burgeoning mountain bike scene. When you factor in the amazing scenery and sunsets, delicious food and fine local wine, welcoming culture, and top notch terrain, we believe you’ll fall in love with the Chilean experience, too – and we can’t wait to share it with you. evoTrip Chile provides unparalleled adventure in this rapidly developing mountain biking paradise, some of the trails featured in the Enduro World Series – all from the comfy basecamp of the amazing Rocanegra Mountain Lodge. Our Chile Mountain Bike Trip is recommended only for intermediate to advanced riders, and we require that you bring your own bike for this trip and are able to set it up on your own.

Trip Planning

May is Fall in Chile and  we'll be in the mountains. You should be prepared for all weather. We do plenty of pedaling and get some shuttles for the trail riding in the Reserva Ecologica, so a bike that’s got enough burl and travel to handle the rigors of rough trails and still climbs decently is probably the best bet – enduro-style bikes with 5-6 inches of travel in the 30-35 lb. range fit the bill nicely. Check out Matthew Slaven's packing list, too!

Testimonials
My overall trip experience was awesome! The riding, Rocanegra, people, food and everything else was way above expectations.
Jamie
evoTrip 2015
The dirt is unlike any dirt we have seen. It is truly like skiing in powder with tons of grip to slash corners. Chile is one of those magical places that every mountain biker that loves to travel should put on their list to ride.
