By bicycle from Villa Presidente Frei to Santiago

This ride starts in Villa Presidente Frei, a friendly residential hub in La Reina, perfect for a low-key launch. You’ll pedal westward for just over 12 km, mostly on smooth, paved cycleways and quiet side streets, making for a pleasant spin even if you’re not a hardcore cyclist. With only about 13 meters of climbing (and far more descent!), it’s easy on the legs.

Along the way, you’ll weave through peaceful neighborhoods and grab glimpses of the Andes before dropping into the buzz of Santiago’s city center. The ride finishes in the heart of Chile’s lively capital—home to historic plazas, bustling markets, and plenty of cafés to refuel.

Fact: Santiago sits at over 500 meters elevation with the stunning mountains always looming in the background, so you're likely to enjoy some big-sky views no matter your route. It’s a great urban ride option—safe, scenic, and mostly downhill!
