En bici de Santiago de Chile a Villa Presidente Frei

Ready for a refreshing ride across Santiago? This 12.4 km cycling route rolls out from the heart of Santiago—Chile’s vibrant capital, known for its colonial history, lively plazas, and stunning Andean backdrop—and winds eastward to Villa Presidente Frei, a calm residential neighborhood nestled close to La Reina.

Most of your journey is on smooth, paved paths, with over half on dedicated cycleways, meaning it’s pretty stress-free. You’ll pedal a gentle climb (about 70 meters of ascent in total), so expect a steady, manageable workout but nothing too intense. Keep an eye out for sections without clear pavement, but with most of the ride on asphalt and concrete, you’ll be cruising most of the way.

You’ll leave the city bustle behind, weaving through quiet streets and leafy neighborhoods, and wrap up your ride in Villa Presidente Frei—an area well-loved for its family-friendly vibe and green spaces. Grab a coffee or snack nearby, and enjoy the contrast of city buzz and suburban calm all in just under 13 km!
