By bicycle from Valparaíso to Viña del Mar

Hop on your bike for a fun ride from Valparaíso to Viña del Mar! Starting out in vibrant Valparaíso, you’ll wind through colorful hills packed with street art and historic funiculars. The route is just under 13 km, mostly paved (including plenty of smooth concrete and asphalt), making it a comfortable ride for most cyclists.

You’ll face some ups and downs, with about 340 meters of climbing and a similar amount of descent—nothing too extreme, so just pace yourself on the hills. About half the route follows quiet roads, so you can soak in the coastal views without much traffic stress.

As you roll into Viña del Mar, notice the shift in vibe—think wide boulevards, beautiful beaches, and the famous Flower Clock (“Reloj de Flores”). Both cities are icons of Chile’s central coast: Valpo for its bohemian charm, and Viña for its relaxed resort feel.

Perfect for a day trip, this ride offers a taste of city culture, Pacific vistas, and the best of the Chilean coast!
