The 25-year-old bike touring company Ciclismo Classico has created a spinoff that focuses on seeing as much as doing. The charter destination for a series of photography tours — called TravelVision Journeys — is northwest Argentina. The four scheduled Vision & Vine treks will explore mountain landscape, indigenous communities and high-altitude vineyards. They were developed by Ciclismo founder and enthusiastic photographer Lauren Hefferon, who will co-lead the nine-day trips with the Argentine photographer and documentary filmmaker Ossian Lindholm. Destinations include the Las Salinas Grandes salt desert, the small cities of Humahuaca and Cachi, and Los Cardones National Park.
"The trip will be physical, cultural and educational. The bicycle is a way to immerse yourself in a place and its culture, and so is the camera," said Ms. Hefferon, who is personally planning, managing and leading the tours. "It's like another chapter opening up in my life, because so many of the elements are new to me."
Each tour will include some kind of collaboration with the local community. Travelers in the first outing will work with a school group to create a photo book and hope to raise money for the school from book sales, Ms. Hefferon said.
Ms. Hefferon is developing future trips to Sardinia and the wetlands of Pantanal in Brazil and Ibera in Argentina.
Argentina Vision & Vine costs $5,200 per person and departs from Salta, Argentina.
