Cycling day trip from Villa Lugano to Pontevedra

Here’s a fun ride from Villa Lugano, a vibrant barrio in the southern part of Buenos Aires, out to the quieter town of Pontevedra in Greater Buenos Aires. This route is pretty chill, mostly on quiet roads (so you won’t have to dodge too much traffic), with just a gentle amount of climbing—only about 65 meters of ascent overall. You’ll cruise for about 34 km, and while half of the surfaces aren’t exactly specified, around 40% is paved, so you’ll want a bike that can handle a mix. No steep hills to worry about, and you’ll enjoy an easy suburban-and-rural transition.

Villa Lugano is known for its lively community and transport links, making it a good jump-off spot. As you approach Pontevedra, you’ll notice things getting more peaceful—Pontevedra is a smaller satellite town with a relaxed vibe and green spaces. Ideal if you want to switch from city bustle to countryside calm in just a few hours of pedaling!
