CYCLING VACAT ION S O F A LIFE T IM E

Welcome to our latest trip planner. We’ve been working hard on 2017, and I hope you’ll agree that this is our best season to date. It will be hard to beat an incredible 2016, which included being honored as a World’s Best Tour Operator by Travel + Leisure.

But being the world’s best isn’t our cue to rest. It’s a chance to work even harder to define excellence in cycling vacations.

We still combine unrivaled support, the best bikes in the industry, and an incredible pool of world-class guides and trip designers to provide you with an experience you’ll remember forever. We still scour the world for the most exotic, interesting, and unforgettable destinations and hotels. And we’re still driven by your every wish.

This year we’ve included even more destinations, added the latest Trek Domane SL 7 road bike, and found new hotels guaranteed to amaze you.

I warmly welcome back all those who have traveled with us in years past and I look forward to hearing stories from your 2017 vacations. I am also excited for those of you who have never experienced Trek Travel to take your first trip with us.

I’ll see you out on the road.

TIME IN BETWEEN COYHAIQUE, CHILE TO EL CALAFATE, ARGENTINA

In January of 2015, Trek Travel guides Jason Harding and Sonja Schmidt pedaled their way south through Patagonia on a two-and-a-half-month personal trip. Their experiences ranged from riding along deserted dirt roads, to aeropress pushups, to getting saved by the kindest pair of Frenchmen you could ever meet. Oh, and they just happened to get engaged along the way.

Thanks to our legendary fun seekers for their creative guidance, writing chops, editing skills, and rounds and rounds of feedback: Ann, Meagan, Mark, Jenny, Sarah, and T-Money. Thanks for the incredible images: Zack Jones Photography, Jeff Clark Photography, Tony Ferlisi, Bob Joy and all our guides capturing the essence of our trips in the field. And thanks to our Boulder-based words man, Jordan Sher. We hope you enjoyed this, now get out and ride your bike!

Vacations are an escape from our daily flow. They disrupt the normal, get us out of our comfort zone, and show us the rich beauty of the world around us.

At Trek Travel, we passionately believe the world is best seen from the seat of a bicycle.

Experiences are richer, landscapes are more bountiful, sounds are more distinct. When you pedal a bicycle through a new place, the world comes alive around you. We want to inspire you to find new adventures, experience new destinations, meet curious locals, and just enjoy the view.
