Explore Santiago like a local on a private, guided bike tour through ParqueMet, one of Latin America’s largest urban parks. We’ll meet in historic downtown, gear up with bike and helmet, then cruise safe bike lanes toward the park, passing everyday Santiago—busy streets, green corners, and landmarks.
We’ll climb Cerro San Cristóbal at a relaxed pace on scenic roads and trails, surrounded by native trees and wide views of the city and the Andes. Along the way you’ll hear stories about Santiago’s neighborhoods and cycling culture.
At the Bellavista Terrace we’ll rest, enjoy traditional mote con huesillo, walk around the sanctuary area, and take photos. On the way down we’ll stop at a viewpoint for the skyline, the “Sanhattan” financial district, and (on clear days) the Andes. We’ll finish with an easy ride along the 42K cycleway beside the Mapocho River back to the start. Bring comfy clothes and know how to ride a bike.
