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:

PROVIDENCIA: Our local guru guide (the person with the knowledge, cycle skill sets, and handsome looks of course) will get you informed, fitted, and kitted upon arrival. Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your ride. 

2:30PM: It’s time to ride! Starting from our office, we’ll pedal through Forestal and Bustamante parks on a mellow cruise to get oriented and learn some crucial Chilean slang about the locals making out on the grass.

GABRIELA MISTRAL CULTURAL CENTER 3:30PM: We leave the parks and hit the streets, making our way to the historical GAM cultural center to start our history chapter. While riding through the hip Lastarria/Santa Lucia neighborhood, why not ring your bell and turn the heads of the skinny jean and moustache-wearing Chileans sipping coffee as you ride towards downtown?

PRESIDENTIAL PALACE: 4:30PM: The final stop is La Moneda, the Presidential Palace, where we’ll get into Chile’s political history with from Salvador Allende to the Pinochet regime to how it has shaped the Chilean society today.

BACK TO HOME BASE

5:15PM: Taking advantage of some of Santiago’s growing network of bike lanes, we’ll zigzag back up to our bike base camp and make sure you are equipped to enjoy the rest of your time in our beloved country.
