DHaRCO Crew Living No Ordinary Life in Bariloche, Argentina-Patagonia

Some people talk about chasing adventure. Others go out and live it fully, wildly, and unapologetically. 

One of our own DHaRCO crew members, Diego Mena did just that in Bariloche, Argentina, deep in the heart of Patagonia.

This isn’t a vacation. It’s a lifestyle. And is truely living the 'No Ordinary Life'.

We’re stoked to have crew around the world doing rad things! 

Bariloche’s unique combination of natural beauty, big-mountain terrain, and a laid-back vibe attracted riders from across the world!

When you think of Patagonia, endless wilderness and jagged peaks, probably come to mind. But for mountain bikers in the know, it’s also home to one of the most rewarding riding scenes and terrain in the world. From the famous anti-grip dust of summer to epic loam days in the fall.

Bariloche’s status went international when it hosted a round of the Enduro World Series (EWS) in 2016 and 2017 — a groundbreaking moment for the region.

Since then, the local scene has only grown stronger. New trails have opened, bike shops have flourished, and local young riders are emerging as future stars.

For Diego, the trip was more than just epic descents and scenic backdrops — it was about connecting back with his roots coming from North-west Argentina to enjoy the stunning South-west.

Connecting back with old friends sharing some 'mates' after riding outstanding trails.

As mountain biking continues to evolve in South America, Bariloche stands out as something special.

If Bariloche isn’t on your bucket list yet, it should be. Big mountains, bigger vibes, incredible people, amazing food and some of the most scenic landscapes on Earth — Patagonia delivers, full stop.

For us at DHaRCO, it’s inspiring to see our crew members living the dream, chasing trails across continents, connecting with local scenes, and representing the riding spirit.

Keep it loose, keep it wild, and we’ll see you on the trails! #NoOrdinaryLife
