The Patagonia Challenge is a one-of-a-kind adventure.
It combines the raw thrill of driving a nearly 100-year-old Argentinian Baquet racing car across 2,000 kilometers of stunning and varied Patagonian terrain.
The Baquet holds a special place in Argentina’s motorsport history—born from the pioneering spirit of the early endurance racing culture, Fuerza Libre and Turismo Carretera. These cars are stripped down, open- bodied machines with exposed wheels and low-slung silhouettes, echoing the 1930s era of fearless drivers and dusty tracks.
For seven days, we journey through an ever-shifting landscape: from the dry, wind-swept steppe of southern Mendoza, to the rising foothills of the Andes; from volcanic plains to pristine forests and glassy lakes in the Bariloche region.
We’ll pass through timeless villages and open countryside, far from routine, closer to something essential. Throughout it all, we’ll share Argentina’s famed hospitality: exceptional food, unforgettable wines, open skies and quiet roads.
The Patagonia Challenge is a crafted adventure.
An invitation to experience not just the land, but the spirit of Patagonia — and the legacy of Argentina’s driving culture.
