activity. The dry, pastoral and unfriendly landscape
of the desert predominates in the northern Chile. The
routes and paths present big challenges for the participants
of this sport, who must compete with the hot sun, dehydration,
the high temperatures and the severe low ones during

a more agreeable, temperate climate, and a huge number
of places to travel between the coastal and the low
mountain areas, both urban and rural. The best options

and the secondary roads that go by from side to side
the zone. The Austral Road is an admirable route to
take during the summer.
