Hey I'm just new here, I live in Argentina and can for sure give some tips for your bikepacking trip. Ruta 40 is an amazing option, with beautiful scenes from the wine area of Mendoza to the Lake District close to Bariloche. In Patagonia, you must visit El Chalt?n to do trekking and El Calafate to see Perito Moreno Glacier. Getting a local guide is very good idea?they can give special advice and help with language problems. If you go northwest, see Cafayate and Salta for special views and tasty wine. From September to December is best time for your visit because weather nice, but in Patagonia be ready for changing conditions.  Have a great trip in Argentina!

It would be great. Jay and Tracey Petervary set the record in 2009 at 18 days, 13 hours. It'd be nice to have it alongside the other categories.
