Cycling day trip from Lo Prado to La Pintana

Ready for a scenic pedal through Santiago? Your ride starts in Lo Prado, a vibrant commune west of downtown, famous for its local markets and relaxed parks. From here, the route heads south toward La Pintana, passing through a blend of bustling neighborhoods and quieter residential areas.

You’ll cover about 32 km, most of it on nicely paved cycleways and quiet roads—perfect for a relaxed ride with minimal traffic stress. Enjoy some gentle climbs (with a total ascent of about 180 meters) as you transition from the city buzz into greener, suburban corners.

La Pintana, at the southern edge of Santiago, is a lively, open area known for its community spirit and local culture. You’ll roll past plenty of everyday city life, catching glimpses of the Andes to the east if you’re lucky with the weather.

With more than half your way on bike-friendly paths, this is a great route for daily riders and explorers alike. Keep an eye out for local cafes and spots to pause—it’s a slice of real Santiago from end to end!
