Cycling day trip from Santiago to La Pintana

Get ready for a ride from the buzzing heart of Santiago to the quieter, residential vibe of La Pintana! Starting in downtown Santiago, you’ll be right in the mix of Chile’s capital—famous for its lively markets, historic architecture, and mountain views. You'll roll out heading south, with most of the 22 km route serving up smooth paved paths and cycleways. It’s a cyclist-friendly trip, with over half the journey dedicated to cycle paths, so you can just cruise and take in the sights.

As you head toward La Pintana, expect a chill ascent (nothing too dramatic), and the city slowly shifts into a more suburban and community-focused scene. La Pintana is known for its green parks and local food spots—definitely worth a stop for a snack!

Overall, this is a solid urban ride, great for commuters or anyone looking to see a different side of Santiago. Don’t forget some sunblock—the Chilean sun can be strong, even in the city!
