Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Bariloche

    Bariloche stands on the southern shore of Lake Nahuel Huapi, in the Argentine Andes, and the place has the look of an alpine resort that has been picked up and set in Patagonia. Chalets of wood and stone, chocolate shops, and a civic centre built from rough stone in the 1930s give it a Central European air, a result of Swiss and German settlers who came in the late nineteenth century and the national park authority that shaped the town's style. The lake is big and cold, with long arms reaching into the mountains, and snowy peaks stand on every side.

    Recorded stop-planning note

    May refer to an earlier itinerary; verify against your selected route before riding.

    Planning note

    Bariloche sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is El Bolson.

  2. 2. El Bolson

    El Bolson lies in a sheltered valley on the eastern flank of the Andes, in the Rio Negro province of Argentina, and its reputation is of a green, relaxed mountain town with a hippie streak and a very good craft market. About fifteen thousand people live here, surrounded by steep ridges, orchards and hop fields. Hoyo de Epuyen lies a short ride to the south. The town gets its name from the word bolson, meaning a pocket or basin, a good description of the setting.
