Our journey starts at 6:00 PM at the avant-garde Mercado Urbano Tobalaba (MUT) in Las Condes (Floor -2, Café Altura). This is the perfect starting point for a unique city tour. From here, you’ll pedal along the banks of the Mapocho River, the vital axis of the city.

The Andean Sunset and Sculptural Parks
As we ride, you'll witness the "Andean sunset," where the sun paints the mountains in shades of purple and pink.
