Cycling day trip from San Bernardo to Lo Prado

Kick off your ride in San Bernardo, a charming spot that's unofficially the gateway to Santiago's southern reaches. Known for its rich history tied to agriculture and vineyards, this suburban area offers a nice retreat from the city's hustle and bustle.

Your journey to Lo Prado is just shy of 30 kilometers, so get ready for a decent adventure! Along the way, you'll be riding mostly on quiet roads and cycleways, which make up a good 76% of your route. This is perfect for those who prefer a more laid-back cycling experience.

The path is relatively flat, with a max elevation of 572.58 meters and a gentle ascent of just 25.54 meters – so you won't be tackling any daunting hills. Most of the surface is asphalt or concrete, with a small section missing, but don't worry, it's nothing your bike can't handle.

Once you arrive in Lo Prado, you'll discover a vibrant district that’s part of Santiago's sprawling urban tapestry. It’s a residential hub with easy access to the rest of the city. Consider checking out the local markets or grab a quick bite in one of the neighborhood cafes—you've earned it! Happy cycling!
