Mapocho Sunset: The Best Photographic Perspective by Bike

Looking for the perfect shot of Santiago? There's no better way to capture the Chilean capital than on two wheels during the "golden hour." The Mapocho Sunset by La Bicicleta Verde is a 2.5-hour sensory journey that connects you with the city's rhythm as the sun dips behind the hills.

From MUT Modernity to River Magic

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.

By joining La Bicicleta Verde for one of our Santiago bike tours, you'll explore the "Sanhattan" area and the World Trade Center. This path is widely considered one of the best bike routes Santiago due to its safety and unbeatable skyline views.

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.
