Gita in bici di un giorno da Talcahuano a Concepción

This ride starts in the port city of Talcahuano, known for its strong maritime heritage and famous naval base, and heads southeast into the vibrant university city of Concepción. The route is around 22.5 km, mostly on paved surfaces, with the majority being dedicated cycleways or quiet roads—making it a relaxed trip for most skill levels.

You’ll cruise past the bay’s waterfront, then tackle a gradual 95-meter ascent. Along the way, you’ll get a taste of urban Chilean life while skirting industrial and residential pockets, and there are a few stretches where wayfinding may get creative due to incomplete surface data—so it pays to keep an eye on your map or GPS.

As you approach Concepción, you’ll notice the lively culture of this regional hub—a favorite for students and artists. Both cities were rebuilt after the 2010 earthquake, and you might spot some impressive public spaces and architecture along your journey. It’s a great mix of coastal views, cityscapes, and a touch of local flair!
