Cycling Patagonia

Jeff, you’ve basically just pushed me over the edge. Was toying with a September trip; today I’ll begin planning! Looks incredible, stunning photos. Thanks!

This is gorgeous. Congragulations on a trip well taken and fabulously photographed!

Beautiful pictures Jeff, you make me wanna go to Patagonia!

Beautiful. I *think* #3 is my favourite, but pretty tough to choose!

I’m curious: how did you take #15?

Thanks for the feedback and positive comments!

@ Camden – If you need any help on an itenarary, contact me. I know lots of cool hiking//biking/exploring options in Argentina from Mendoza south.

Thanks for the comment.

Number #15 gets lots of interest. Its my wife’s hands on the handlebars, and I took it by leaning in under her arms while we were standing on the bridge. Its a cool angle, but hard to get with any real motion

I thought as much…but also thought maybe you set a timer and had the camera hanging round your neck…and then got a completely lucky perfectly composed/non-shaking shot

Great pictures – what a cool trip!

Wow! I loved #14 and #15. Is the woodpecker enormous, or was it just perched on a thin tree?

Great work, as always, Jeff. Number 3 is my personal fave but they’re all very cool. Can’t wait to explore that part of the world — bike seems a fantastic way to do it.

Beautiful spread Jeff! Lots of favorites in here.

Love the offbeat quality of #16 with the guy walking a horse while driving

Really nice sense of scale in #18 and the framing of the shot in #10

Great seeing your work here on Matador Jeff! I really like #9.

There are some beautiful photos here, number 14 is my fav, the woodpecked looks intriguing.

Wow, these pictures are absolutely beautiful! I’ve been to Patagonia but your photos make me want to do it again–only by bike!

Thanks Lola, the shots you mentioned are definitely some of my favorites as well.

Thanks Heather – I’ve made several trips in, around, and across Patagonia but nothing compared to covering the distance on a bike. We saw so much more than is normally possible by car or bus.

Awesome photos. For the past few years I have been dreaming of a trip to Patagonia, and these photos have helped to make me think I really want (need?) to go.

Great pics. seems u had a great trip. But must have been streneous and you must have prepared a lot for it.

Thanks Sanjay.

We actually didn’t prepare at all. Both my wife and I are active and are never in bad physical shape, but we actually started this trip right after a surprisingly lazy 3-month stay in Northern Canada. My biggest advice for aspiring adventure travelers is to just go for it. The body will adjust quickly to new stresses and, worse case scenario, you’ll travel slower than planned for the first few weeks.

Great pictures, really inspiring and they have just nudged me a step closer to booking a trip to Patagonia now – thanks!

This is a really gorgeous photo essay as it really captures the many different climates/terrains Patagonia has – and to go further, Argentina has, if you include the deserts and the jungles of the north as well.

Incredible. I ate this up, and recognized a couple of locales!

These pictures are just stunning. I’m Argentinian but unfortunately I’ve never had the chance to do such a trip. I barely know the Patagonia. This trip must have been really refreshing and undoubtedly enjoyable.
Once again, amazing! I’m following you in twitter

Hola Revolution,
De donde sos en Argentina? Its beautiful in Patagonia I can’t describe my love for the zone. I wish I could live down there but life has me stuck in Mendoza at the moment

Hi Jeff, I’m from Buenos Aires.
My sister and her boyfriend went last summer to Ushuahia and Calafate, she said it was amazing Definitely a beautiful zone. And Mendoza too, you can sky this time of the year. Really nice of you to share the pictures!
Good luck!

We’re cycling Patagonia at this very moment and I can assure you this is a tough part of the world to tackle on a bike. These photos have inspired me to keep pushing on towards Ushuaia.

Hey Amaya,

Great to hear that you are in Patagonia. It can be a real battle with the wind, but it is a beautiful journey. If you are still on the mainland, try the longer ferry. With luck, you can breeze west to east across Tierra Del Fuego with a tailwind
