Thousands have gone down route 66 in the US on Harley Davidson’s and have had a grand experience – we send you down gravel roads to Patagonia on a BMW 650 – it’s dirty, it’s hard and it’s magnificent.

The Valdivian forest comes alive around you with its ancient larch trees and its surrounding waterfalls.
