ISDE Argentina 2023:
Destination San Juan, a new challenge

San Juan means sun, Zonda, good wine and since 2014, it also means International Six Days of Enduro. Located in the Cuyo region, the province, that is the second largest wine producer in Argentina, will once again host the oldest FIM competition in November 6-11, 2023.

The great variety of terrains offered by San Juan lands will challenge the teams that will pursue sporting glory during the thrilling six days of competition. At the same time, the teams will have the chance to enjoy the beautiful and majestic mountain landscapes in San Juan in sunny days and why not, with the coming of the Zonda, the typical wind that blows in the region. Of course, the exquisite regional food and the great wines of the region will delight all visitors coming to the province.

San Juan is looking forward to welcoming the more than 30 nations from the 5 continents that will take part in the event when the ISDE visits South America for the fifth time, and Argentina for the second time.

With six well-defined tourist regions and an area of 3,761,274 km2, Argentina is one of the largest countries in the world with so many tourist attractions thanks to the native beauty of its territory.

From north to south, from La Quiaca to Ushuaia; or from the amazing Andes Mountain Range to the Atlantic coast, Argentina has a great variety of magnificent landscapes and a range of climates that offer multiple options to be visited throughout the year.

The city of Buenos Aires, especially beautiful in spring with its jacaranda trees in bloom, with a unique architectural style and a valuable cultural offer; the majestic Iguazú Falls in the province of Misiones; the captivating Perito Moreno Glacier in the heart of Patagonia; the Quebrada de Humahuaca and the colorful hills in the northwest of the country, as well as the vast region of vineyards in Cuyo are just some of the charming choices in Argentina.

Wild chinaberry trees, an excellent cuisine (among the outstanding typical dishes we can mention empanadas, locro or asado); tango and a variety of cultural events… But Argentina also has a special passion for sports. A country that breathes soccer and motor sports. Enduro, of course, is no exception.
