Cycling day trip from Santiago to San Bernardo

Hop on your bike in the vibrant heart of Santiago, Chile’s buzzing capital, and cruise south toward San Bernardo for a pleasant 26 km ride. The route keeps things chill—mostly on quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, so you can really relax and enjoy the journey. You won’t face any tough climbs, just a gentle ascent and descent, making this a great ride whether you’re commuting or just out to explore.

As you leave Santiago, watch the high-rises and street art fade into quieter suburban neighborhoods. The trip’s mostly on smooth pavement—nice for your tires and even better for your legs. Before long, you’ll reach San Bernardo, a leafy comuna known for its traditional markets, lively festivals, and slower pace of life compared to the capital.

It’s a straightforward, scenic way to link city energy with local charm. Don’t forget to grab an empanada at your destination!
