About This Tour

A private 2-3 hour mountain bike tour up Cerro San Cristóbal's 860-meter summit inside Metropolitan Park, with a thrilling descent back down. For an active alternative to the cable car, this private mountain bike tour climbs Cerro San Cristóbal's paved paths inside Metropolitan Park to its 860-meter summit, then descends with sweeping views over the city. Along the way you'll stop at the Mirador Terraza Bellavista viewpoint to take in all of Santiago below.

Parque Metropolitano, the park this ride climbs through, is genuinely enormous by urban-park standards — commonly cited at somewhere between about 690 and 750 hectares depending on the survey, and widely described as the largest urban park in the Americas. It isn't just Cerro San Cristóbal itself; the park actually spans three hills (San Cristóbal, Chacarillas and Los Gemelos) plus several distinct zones, including the Tupahue and Lo Saldés gardens, the Pirámide area and the Bosque Santiago forest reserve.

The summit's exact elevation is one of those figures that shifts slightly depending on the source — it's cited anywhere from roughly 850 to 886 meters above sea level, which is around 300 meters above the rest of Santiago — but the paved road network that makes this bike climb possible at all was originally built to support the hill's funicular, cable car and vehicle traffic, not cyclists specifically, which is part of why the grade stays rideable rather than becoming a technical trail climb.

Partway up, the stop at Mirador Terraza Bellavista gives a direct view down over the Bellavista neighborhood and the Mapocho River below — a useful landmark since it's named for the bohemian district it overlooks, not for anything at the summit itself. The descent that follows uses the same paved paths, just in reverse, which is what makes the ride back down the genuinely fast, low-effort part of the tour.
