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.

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!

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!

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 wait! The day is not over yet, you will have some time to explore on your own and have lunch!

It’s time to ride! Starting back again 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.

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?

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

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.
