Talking about Route 66 is talking about the essence of American biker culture. It is, with total security, the most famous route in the world. That which joins Chicago and Santa Monica and that has marked entire generations of Americans before the highways arrived and that, then, has become an emblem and a route that many want to enjoy. So what better to do it in the centenary of the road and with an “all inclusive”?
The proposal comes from Eaglerider, a company that has been organizing motorcycle trips through the United States and has decided to start a special tour, which can only be enjoyed by a very small group. It is a 16 -day tour that starts on June 23, 2026 and is limited to 66 motorists, a wink precisely in honor of the most famous route on the planet.
The coincidence is not accidental. At the same time that the 100 years of Route 66 are celebrated, the United States will celebrate its 250 years of history, a perfect framework for a trip that joins two anniversaries of enormous symbolic load for the most patriotic Americans.
Those who get Plaza will travel 2,210 miles (3,556 kilometers) through eight states, in an itinerary that will logically also pass through the most iconic points of the route. From the Cadillac Ranch in Texas to the Blue Swallow Motel with its neons lit in New Mexico, passing through the ghost town of Oatman or the end at the Santa Monica dock, where the road melts with the Pacific.
To raise the level of the trip and the celebration, everything is organized so that the trip coincides with the 66 Road Fest route in Tusla. It is an event that mixes classic vehicles, music and nostalgia, a lot of nostalgia. In addition, each participant will receive a centenary commemorative jacket that will undoubtedly be a piece of collecting.
It will be a memorable trip on Route 66, but you will have to prepare the wallet
Of course, the trip will not be cheap and that is that the cost of it starts at 7,047 dollars (just over 6,000 euros to the current change) with a motorcycle included. However, it is a complete package that includes top -level accommodation, multilingual guides, assistance vehicle, breakfast, fuel in the route days, luggage transport and a farewell party.
Obviously, the choice of the motorcycle will also be part of the attraction for some and that although most will opt for the Harley-Davidson Touring models, there will be alternatives such as the BMW R1250 or the Yamaha Ténéré 700 for those who seek to make a classic route but avoiding, in that aspect, to fall into topics.
Beyond the price or logistics details, which makes this experience unique is the possibility of traveling the centenary of the most mythical road in the United States in the framework of the 250 years of the country.
Of course, if the budget does not reach you, here in Spain we continue to have our own Route 66, the Route de la Plata.
