Quick ride by bicycle from Santiago to Lo Prado

Hop on your bike for a chill city ride from the heart of Santiago to the Lo Prado district! Starting in bustling downtown Santiago—a vibrant hub packed with historical sights, markets, and lively cafés—you’ll pedal mostly westward along a smooth mix of paved routes and dedicated cycleways (that’s right, nearly half the way has its own bike path). The route covers just under 11 km, so it’s totally doable even for casual riders.

You'll glide through quieter neighborhoods as you leave the center, enjoying a gentle net descent—so your legs can relax a bit! Most of the journey is on asphalt and pavement, keeping things comfy, with just short stretches of concrete. Notably, you’ll avoid busy roads almost entirely, making it a stress-free ride.

Your destination, Lo Prado, is a laid-back, mainly residential commune known for its green spaces and local vibe. It's a great example of Santiago’s working-class roots and community feeling.

Whether you're commuting or just exploring, this route offers a smooth, safe way to see a slice of authentic, everyday Santiago. Happy cycling!
