Santiago City Bike Tour – History & Culture or Scenic Urban Ride​

This bike tour lets you experience Santiago on two wheels, offering two distinct routes depending on your interests. Whether you prefer a ride through the city’s historic districts and street art hotspots or a longer, more scenic ride through modern urban landscapes, this tour adapts to your style.
Starting in Lastarria, we follow the tree-lined Parque Forestal toward Mercado Central, Santiago’s famous seafood market. From here, you can choose between two routes:

1️⃣ Historic & Street Art Route – Ride through Barrio Yungay, one of Santiago’s oldest and most colorful neighborhoods, filled with street art, historic mansions, and deep cultural heritage. We then cycle toward Palacio La Moneda, Chile’s presidential palace, before continuing through Plaza de Armas and returning to Lastarria.
​
2️⃣ Scenic Urban Ride – A longer ride that follows the Mapocho River cycling paths, passing by large-scale murals but focusing more on the distance and scenery rather than cultural stops. We head up toward Las Condes, climbing to Plaza Perú on Isidora Goyenechea, a modern district known for its wide boulevards, urban parks, and mountain views, before looping back.
Both routes offer a relaxed yet immersive ride, whether you’re looking for history and culture or an open, scenic ride through Santiago’s evolving urban spaces.
