More Than a Bike Ride...

5.00We first did this tour in 2010, and found it remarkable. Today, in 2026, it is even more relevant to the world's current political crises. To learn, first-hand, about Chile's horrific political past under the Pinochet dictatorship is not necessarily high on one's list of "things to do on a Santiago vacation", but especially for US visitors, it is a subject too close to home. A cautionary tale. La Bicicleta Verde and our guide, Lautaro, used this three-hour bike ride through the beautiful parks and neighborhoods of Santiago as a backdrop for learning. It was not a negative experience, but a reasoned and insightful commentary on a brave Chilean people and their struggle for respect and civil rights without repression. Lautaro's balanced and thoughtful explanations as we worked our way from Bellavista to La Moneda were well-researched, well-delivered, and comprehensive. This is one reason we travel. Too few cities offer such an opportunity to get beneath the superficial surface of a country's history. Bicicleta Verde should be commended for offering this experience. Please add it to your itinerary. It will be unforgettable.

5.00The riding was easy, and the education as thorough as you wanted to make it. Lots of great recommendations, and lots of sights we would not have seen on our own!
Fun way to see the city and learn the history
