El Pajonal

Heritage route through Almendral and Cerro La Virgen in Valparaíso.

It is advisable to ascend via Santa Elena and descend via Linares.

The access to the road Fundo El Pajonal is from the south side of the factory COSTA.

Half of the route is unpaved, a winding road with a gentle slope, well compacted. The road is surrounded by old eucalyptus trees, and there are natural viewpoints with views towards the plain.

The other half is asphalt, descending at high speed from Cerro La Virgen towards Hontaneda street.

It is a very beautiful route that passes through the original Valparaíso, just nature, hills, forests, and ravines; the industrial heritage and its urbanization; Valparaíso of the volantínes and dirt courts; the particular labyrinthine streets with slopes that make bicycles fly.

Approximate time at medium speed (without much effort) 13-14 minutes. For those who like to burn legs, I estimate that it could easily be done in 10 minutes.
