Mountain biking at Estancia Bonanza: 10 km along trails with views of Fitz Roy

Two hours of cycling along little-used trails in the Río de las Vueltas Valley. A way to cover more ground than on foot or horseback, without high physical demands and with stops for photos.

The circuit crosses nature trails within the estate, Through forests and streams, with views of Fitz Roy, the mountain range, and the Patagonian steppe. Before setting off, there is a safety briefing and the bicycle is adjusted to each person.

The activity includes bicycle, helmet, guide, and transportation from El Chaltén, and concludes with a picnic snack at the ranch. It takes about three and a half hours in total.

    Trails, not a route

    The route follows natural trails through the countryside, not a gravel road. This means uneven terrain and some gentle climbs, but no technical sections or demanding descents: so all you need to know is how to ride a bike.

Which one suits you best?

If you prefer to move around on your own → I chose classic mountain bike. Two hours of cycling along little-used trails, at your own pace and covering more ground than on horseback.
If you've never ridden a bike and want to try it → I chose the classic cavalcade. An hour and a half horseback ride through forests of ñire trees and streams, with no prior experience required and with a guide accompanying the entire route.
If you want the complete stay experience → I chose the Horseback riding with food. Add the Patagonian lamb to the grill at El Establo: it's the perfect choice for a day in the countryside.
If you want to cycle and then eat well → I chose mountain biking with food. Less bike-like than the classic version, but it closes with the three steps in El Establo.
