Cycling day trip from Chicureo to Santiago

This ride takes you from the peaceful suburb of Chicureo down to the lively heart of Santiago, covering just over 50 kilometers. Starting in Chicureo, you’ll roll through the northern edge of Greater Santiago, trading wide-open views for city buzz as you go. The route is mostly on paved surfaces—so road bikes are a great choice—but expect some variety and the occasional spot with less-than-perfect pavement.

You’ll glide over some gentle hills, gaining and losing about 265 meters in elevation. There’s a good mix of cycleways and quieter roads, making it reasonably pleasant and safe for a longer ride. As you approach Santiago, watch the city skyline unfold—there’s nothing quite like wheeling into Chile’s capital on two wheels.

Chicureo is known for its country clubs and relaxed vibe, while Santiago is the cultural and political hub of the country, packed with museums, markets, and historic sites. After your ride, reward yourself with some local cuisine or a stroll through one of Santiago’s many parks. Enjoy the journey!
