Cycling day trip from San Bernardo to Lo Prado

This route takes you from the quiet southern suburb of San Bernardo—famous for its family-friendly vibe and leafy plazas—northwards to the urban Lo Prado area, closer to the heart of Santiago. It’s an easy, mostly flat ride over roughly 30 km, ideal for a long, steady spin without any major hills to worry about.

The journey starts among San Bernardo’s peaceful neighborhoods and rolls out onto a pleasant mix of quiet roads and designated cycleways—perfect if you want to escape heavy traffic. You’ll see a real spectrum of Greater Santiago’s urban life as you pass through a couple of bustling zones, but most of your ride will be on comfortable pavement and quieter streets.

Approaching Lo Prado, you’ll notice the city vibe ramp up. Lo Prado itself is mostly residential and well-connected by metro lines, making it easy to get back or meet up with friends afterward. With almost no unpaved sections and only a gentle descent overall, this is a relaxed ride for any level of cyclist, with plenty of city sights along the way!
