What makes this tour truly different is how accessible it is. You don’t need a motorcycle license because we don’t ride on public roads — and you don’t need any enduro experience either.

If you’ve practiced any balance-based sport (like cycling, skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, or surfing), it will be a bonus but not required. The best part is that I won’t spend hours teaching perfect technique — we simply learn the essential basics and start riding. This route has already been tested by more than five people who had never ridden a motorcycle before. I’m not a professional enduro rider — I simply give you the chance to experience one of the most beautiful routes in Mendoza.
