Quick ride by bicycle from Makati City to Pateros

Cruise from the skyscraper-packed streets of Makati City to the riverside vibe of Pateros on this roughly 6.6 km cycling route—perfect for an easy ride or a quick city escape. You’ll start in Makati, known as Metro Manila’s buzzing business and lifestyle hub, where glass towers and hip cafés set the scene.

The route is mostly paved, winding through a relaxed mix of quiet and moderately busy roads, so you can enjoy the sights without too much traffic stress. Along the way, you’ll experience a gentle rise and fall (enough to keep things interesting but not too challenging), peaking at around 45 meters elevation.

As you approach Pateros—famed for its balut (duck egg) and small-town charm—you’ll notice the scene shift to a more laid-back, local feel, where riverbanks and food stalls invite you to slow down. Perfect for an after-work leg stretch or a weekend spin with friends!
