DISCOVER THE SURPRISES OF SANTIAGO HIGHLIGHTS AND DOWNTOWN BY BIKE!
Join us as we head out into the green spaces and historical highlights of downtown Santiago. Shady parks, hip barrios, and insights into santiaguino (someone from Santiago, Chile) culture will make for a memorable afternoon. Downtown’s afternoon highlights of big trees, skyscrapers, and street side kiosks for sopaipillas are for the urban adventurers. Beautiful parks, architecture, and the heart of Santiago are absolute must-sees for anyone visiting Chile’s capital city.
The La Bicicleta Verde team knows that the best way to get around the capital is by bike. Our passionate green gurus will take you to where culture, politics, and fun collide. We can guarantee that you’ll have an amazing time with our team — our 9+ years of experience and thousands of happy travelers can vouch for that.
ITINERARY:
BARRIO BELLAVISTA 9:30 Hrs
We head to the Bohemian, graffiti-filled Barrio Bellavista, weaving between cobbled streets and colorful murals to learn how the neighborhood’s past has influenced such beautiful surroundings.
LA CHASCONA 10:00 Hrs
Next stop is La Chascona, the Santiago house of the famous nobel-prize winning Chilean poet and cultural icon, Pablo Neruda. Discover that he actually has three separate houses, and why this one resembles a boat!
THE MARKETS 10:30 Hrs
Weave your way to La Vega Central, Santiago’s largest fruit, vegetable, and everything in between market. Then, we make our way to Tirso Molina, where you will learn about the markets’ creation and architecture, and be ready to learn about Chilean roots! All the beautiful food will get your appetite up, but don’t worry, we won’t let you go hungry!
BACK TO HOME BASE 12:00 Hrs
Hop back on your bike to head through the picturesque Parque Forestal, one of our favorite pieces of the 14-kilometer long riverside park that runs through our capital city. We’ll be back to our office before you know it, but don’t worry — you still have the afternoon to run around Santiago and explore!
