Guided cycling Tours Around the World: Our Mission

We are specialists in cycling tours, designed for those who wish to discover the world on two wheels. For more than twenty-five years, we have guided curious and passionate travelers through routes that combine nature, culture, and adventure. Our goal is to offer authentic experiences, supported by a team of professionals who ensure safety, organization, and high-quality service.

Cycling tourism means immersing yourself in unique environments, embracing the road at a slower pace, and treasuring every encounter along the way. For us, cycling tours are not just active holidays, but opportunities to transform a journey into an experience that stays in your heart.

Our Experience in Cycling Tourism

Since 1998, we have organized more than 350 guided cycling tours across 23 countries, building over the years a unique heritage of routes and knowledge. Some of our itineraries have become true “classics” of international cycling tourism: Patagonia, Bolivia, Peru, Italy, the “Transhimalaya” in Nepal, Tibet, Ladakh, Mongolia, Cuba, Costa Rica, Kyrgyzstan, and many other destinations.

The fact that so many travelers return to join us for new adventures is the most authentic confirmation of the quality and passion we put into every experience.

The Founder: Mariano Lorefice

Behind Patagonia-Biking stands the vision of Mariano Lorefice, an Italian-Argentinian and passionate cycling traveler. His personal story is the root from which everything began.

“My first crossing of Patagonia dates back to 1986. Since then, I have never stopped traveling and exploring by bicycle. Over the years, I have completed two round-the-world journeys, and today I accompany my clients to the most fascinating places on the planet, after carefully exploring and selecting them myself. I believe that every trip should be a truly unique cycling experience, one capable of leaving a lasting mark.”

Personally overseeing every itinerary and selecting qualified collaborators are integral parts of our philosophy: offering authentic, safe, and unforgettable journeys.

Why Choose Patagonia-Biking?

The name Patagonia-Biking is not just a brand—it is a declaration of love for cycling tourism and for the places that make it so special.

“Since I was a boy, Patagonia was a dream for me: a distant, mysterious land, synonymous with adventure. At 17, I decided to set off on my very first real cycling journey: thousands of kilometers alone, without the internet, only with paper maps and an immense desire to discover. That adventure changed my life and marked the beginning of everything that followed.”

Today, that same passion has become the heart of a project that allows many travelers to experience the same magic. Our cycling tours are designed for those who seek authentic emotions and extraordinary landscapes—and, of course, the joy of pedaling toward the unknown with the spirit of an explorer.
