Overview

Ride the legendary Ha Giang Loop on a thrilling 3-day motorbike adventure from San Pedro de Atacama—no, wait, from Ha Giang city (Vietnam's northernmost province), where winding mountain passes, rice terraces, and ethnic minority villages create one of Southeast Asia's most scenic routes.

Your experienced local guide (or Easy Rider driver) leads the way at your pace, stopping for photos at Quan Ba Heaven Gate, Lung Cu Flag Tower, Ma Pi Leng Pass (one of Vietnam's most dramatic roads), and hidden villages of H'Mong and Dao people. Sleep in cozy private homestays with local families, enjoy authentic meals (breakfast 2 days, lunch/dinner 3 days), and soak in the raw beauty of mountains, valleys, and waterfalls.

This small-group tour (max 10) includes motorbike rental (or Easy Rider option), fuel, helmets, all meals, lodging (private room), and expert guidance.

Real talk: roads are winding and rugged—moderate fitness and comfort on bikes required; weather can change fast, so pack layers.
