By bicycle from Montevideo to Paso de Carrasco

This route takes you from the heart of Montevideo, Uruguay’s vibrant capital on the Río de la Plata, to the quieter suburb of Paso de Carrasco. Covering just over 19 km, you’ll mostly ride on paved surfaces, cruising along dedicated cycleways and calm roads—perfect for an easy-going outing.

You’ll start amid Montevideo’s lively urban scenery, passing parks and perhaps catching glimpses of the waterfront before heading east. Although there’s a gentle ascent and descent along the way, the ride never gets very steep—the highest spot is under 57 meters above sea level.

About halfway, the cityscape gives way to leafier neighborhoods and more open spaces. Paso de Carrasco, your destination, sits near the Carrasco International Airport and is famous for its relaxed, residential vibe—quite a contrast to Montevideo’s bustle.

Expect a fun mix of urban energy and suburban peace on this ride—great for commuters, explorers, or anyone just looking for a scenic pedal outside of the city center.
