Quick ride by bicycle from Concepción to Chiguayante

This ride takes you from the vibrant city of Concepción down to the quieter, scenic town of Chiguayante, just over 14 km away. Concepción, known for its dynamic university vibe and cultural scene, is a great place to start. Soon after you leave the city buzz behind, you’ll notice the pace drops and you’re surrounded by more nature and fresh air as you roll towards Chiguayante along the Biobío River.

The route is pretty gentle, with only a few mild climbs—the total ascent isn’t too intimidating. Most of your ride will be on paved cycleways and concrete surfaces, which makes for a comfortable spin, though keep an eye out for some unpaved patches that add a bit of adventure. It’s a good idea to check your tires before heading out!

You’ll pass through a mix of urban and quieter areas, and there are some nice river views along the way. When you reach Chiguayante, enjoy the calmer atmosphere and maybe grab something to eat from a local bakery—after all, you’ve earned it!
