The story

Enduro del Verano in Villa Gesell

An off-road motorcycle and quad race across the dunes of Villa Gesell, run each February since the town became its permanent home in 2006. Riders tackle a 12.5-kilometer circuit through sand dunes up to 45 meters high plus a beach stretch, drawing spectators to watch from the ridgelines above.

Villa Gesell's beaches turn into a 12.5-kilometer off-road circuit every February, when motorcycles and quads race over dunes that rise as high as 45 meters before dropping riders onto a stretch of open shoreline.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The course cuts through dunes reaching 45 meters, with a beach section along the open Atlantic shoreline — terrain that shifts season to season with wind and tide, so the circuit is never quite identical twice

02

The mystery stays covered

The 2013 edition set a Guinness World Record for the largest quad race ever held, and recent editions have counted as official rounds of the FIM Sand Races World Cup, putting Villa Gesell's dunes on an international motorsport calendar
