Cycling day trip from La Pintana to Santiago

Hop on your bike and roll out from La Pintana, a bustling commune with strong local character in southern Santiago. The route takes you north into the heart of Santiago, covering just over 21 kilometers—perfect for a solid ride, but not too daunting. Most of your journey will be on paved paths and dedicated cycleways (over half the ride!), so you can expect a pretty smooth and safe experience.

The ride is mostly flat, with just a gentle climb here and there, followed by a relaxed descent as you near the city center. You’ll weave through quieter streets for much of the way, avoiding heavy traffic. As you arrive in Santiago, the country’s vibrant capital, you'll find yourself among a mix of historic architecture, bustling plazas, and plenty of spots to reward yourself with a coffee or snack.

This ride is ideal for those looking to move between neighborhoods, explore the urban landscape, or simply enjoy an accessible, city-spanning bike trip.
