Cajón de Arenales offers a very different side of Mendoza’s Andes: a high-altitude landscape dominated by massive granite walls, far from the better-known sightseeing routes.

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. I teach you everything step-by-step on a safe training area. Once you feel confident, we head into the Mendoza mountains. 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. It’s your chance to experience a real mountain adventure in Mendoza.
