Cycling day trip from Santiago to Chicureo

This route takes you from the heart of Santiago, Chile’s lively capital, all the way north to the quieter suburban enclave of Chicureo. It's a scenic ride of just over 44 km, so plan for a few hours in the saddle. Most of your journey rolls over smooth pavement—cycleways and quiet roads make up the bulk of the route, perfect for enjoying the views of the Andean foothills.

Santiago is known for its bustling vibe, colonial architecture, and the Andes backdrop. Once you leave the city, the pace slows down as you transition into the open spaces and vineyards around Chicureo. Expect gentle hills—there’s about 150 meters of climbing, but nothing too tough.

Chicureo is a fast-growing community known for its tranquil setting, golf courses, and country clubs. It’s a great spot to unwind after your ride, perhaps with a local treat at a café. Don’t forget to pack sunscreen and water, as stretches of the route can be exposed.

Overall, it’s an ideal adventure for those looking to escape the city’s buzz and enjoy the lesser-seen outskirts of Santiago.
