Patagonia Bikepacking Preparation: Bike Tune-Up, Route Planning & Gear Check (3 Hours)

Planning to ride Patagonia? Make sure both your bike and your route are ready before your adventure.

I'm Sebastián, a local cyclist, professional bike mechanic and bikepacking coach based in Bariloche for more than 10 years. I've completed over 15 self-supported bikepacking routes across Patagonia and the Andes, and I've worked as the official mechanic at six editions of Desafío Ruta 23 and IRONMAN 70.3 Bariloche.

This is a 3-hour private experience at your accommodation in Bariloche, designed to prepare you and your bike for riding safely and confidently in Patagonia.
