Off Road Adventures in the ‘End of the World’

The actual panorama of tourism offers to adventurers many options to get huge torrents of adrenaline at a very sustained pace.

Exciting off road adventures are often the first option, not only for risk lovers but also for families which are looking for some independence when it comes to a peaceful and intimate ride in some unique outdoor scenario. Quad rides – which are pretty challenging too – also captivate visitor’s minds and senses: they can feel the pleasure of catching a glimpse of nature and enjoy it in its purest state from a definitely unusual point of view.

However, most of the time, these activities must be carefully planned, including the idea of hiring expert guides, which should be appropriately identified and fully dedicated to the chosen excursion.

Something to keep in mind for those who will not have enough courage to try off road adventure, is that places which are typically visited while riding these kind of trucks are rocky rivers or creeks, thick forests or huge dunes, all really close to the shore. Deserted plains or high plateaus can also be an option depending on the destination. Always remember: Argentina is an enormous country and there is always a new outdoor adventure around the corner!

For instance, in Rada Tilly, a village located 17 km. away from the center of Comodoro Rivadavia, you can enjoy the pleasures offered by a vast beach and do all the summer sports that you can possibly imagine, like for instance 4-wheel driving.

Challenges as the ‘All Terrain Patagonian’ are ones of the attractions existing in the Argentina south Patagonia region for hard driving enthusiasts, who are cheered by locals, friends and relatives during the contest.

In this case, the circuit goes through a winding trail on the beach.

To join this off road adventure, people pay a reasonable fee and drive their own automobile, or else, enjoy the contest from behind the barrier by the coast. The Argentinean North is another option for off-road adventurers. A visit to Salta and Jujuy will take you to the fascinating hills of Humauaca.

If you continue this road, you will see Los Cardones National Park (the desert of the giant cactus) and have a fascinating view of the Calchaqui Valleys.

Starting in Malargue (Mendoza), the itinerary of the Cuyo region offers the magnificent rocky landscapes of the Atuel Canyon, the valley of Las Leñas and the famous ‘wine route’ through San Rafael and Mendoza cities.

If you are interested in experiencing the magic of nature with an off-road expedition, a trip to the jungles and rainforests surrounding the Iguazú Falls and the marshland of Esteros del Iberá in the Argentinean Litoral will surprise you. You will enjoy vivid colors of the vegetation and the amazing wildlife of the Mesopotamia.

From south to north, traveling Argentina in an off-road adventure might prove to be the most exciting and unforgettable experience of your life.
