Global adventures start with a local perspective – that's our philosophy. Whether abroad, or just as importantly at home, the start point is the same; how to get the most enjoyable holiday for our customers while benefiting the local people, economy and respecting the environment.
Mountain biking is a great way to explore the countryside, travelling at a speed that enables you to take in the surroundings without damaging the environment. On these Chile mountain biking holidays accommodation is a mixture of small hotels, cabins and camping in national parks. When camping every effort is taken to avoid damaging the surrounding area and wildlife. During our Chile mountain biking holidays we spend time amongst the Aymaran Indians, a civilization dating back over 10,000 years, through visiting these ancient civilizations we are able to get a unique insight into Chile’s past.
On these Chile mountain biking holidays we collaborate with locally based people and buy local products from small producers, (organic if possible), thus contributing to the regional economy. We provide guests with Travellers Codes that encourage the reduction of water usage, systems for collecting, recycling or safe disposal of litter and relevant suggestions to minimise damage to the environment, wildlife and marine ecosystems. All our Chile mountain biking holidays have a maximum group size of 12 to 15 people minimising both the social and environmental impact. Being able to participate and connect with the local culture provides a richer mountain biking holiday experience. Accompanied by a local knowledgeable guide who truly knows the area, our guests are able to get more of a feel for the place and the environment.

Having stayed in touch since primary school, Andy and Paul decided to cycle around South America in 1994. Andy was a keen cyclist but Paul hadn’t been on a bike since doing his paper round. They didn’t have an itinerary and used military maps to navigate through the desert. They had so much fun and met such amazing people that they agreed to set up a cycling tour company together. Andy says their trips create a flexible and intimate way to travel and absorb the local culture and, whats more, you never forget how to cycle – it’s just like riding a bike!
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
