The route has been divided into
109 cycling stages
and 31 rest days.
The cycling days will have in general the same schedule
: a start early in the morning to cycle the distance at
your own speed to the next place.
The stages have an average length of 100 kilometres,
depending on the course, the conditions of the roads and
the locations of the next suitable accommodation.
Everyone gets daily a
detailed
description of the route.
At the start in Quito
you get an extensive
tour guide
with background information about the route.
The rest days give you the possibility to visit the
cultural highlights of South-America, but keep in mind that "The Andes Trail" is
definitely not a tourist trip. It's a demanding bicycle
expedition with a total distance of 11,000 km where
scenic routes and traffic calm roads have been chosen.
The tough stages, the long-term stay at high altitudes
and the extreme weather conditions make "The Andes
Trail" to a real challenge.
Taking into account the accommodation, "The Andes Trail" can be roughly divided into two sections. You stay
during the first half of the tour - in Ecuador, Peru and
Bolivia - mainly in hotels. Sometimes we make a bush
camp, even on high altitudes. The second part of the
tour - in Argentina and Chile - you stay mostly at
campsites or in a temporary camp along the road. A
comfortable hotel is waiting for you than occasionally.
You will stay in total minimal 60 nights in a hotel
accommodation. |
