Cycling day trip from Viña del Mar to Valparaíso

This coastal ride kicks off in the bustling city of Viña del Mar, famous for its beautiful beaches, gardens, and the iconic flower clock. You'll pedal west towards Valparaíso—Chile's most colorful port city—with about 21 km ahead. The route is mostly paved, combining smooth concrete stretches with easier asphalt patches, making it friendly for any type of bike.

Expect a bit of a workout: there’s a healthy 724 m of climbing. The path weaves through mostly quiet roads, so it’s ideal for soaking in Pacific views and seaside neighborhoods. However, you’ll also cross some busier sections—just keep your wits about you and enjoy the charisma of both cities.

Valparaíso welcomes you with its steep hills, vibrant murals, and legendary funiculars—be sure to explore Cerro Alegre or grab a post-ride empanada. Whether you’re chasing ocean breezes, city energy, or epic murals, this ride is a fun snapshot of Chile’s central coast.
