Yes — if you enjoy road cycling, love mountain climbs, and have a good level of fitness. This experience is designed for passionate cyclists who want to experience one of Santiago’s most iconic mountain passes while enjoying spectacular scenery in the Chilean Andes.

The tour is private and personalized, so the challenge can be adapted to your fitness level, experience, and personal goals. You can choose to ride to Villa Paulina, Curve 1, Corral Quemado, or continue to Farellones.

Most rides last at least four hours. This is a true mountain pass, so the challenge is measured more by climbing time, elevation gain, and effort than by distance.

The climb to Farellones is a challenging and rewarding road cycling experience in the Chilean Andes. Starting in Lo Barnechea, the road climbs steadily into the mountains with spectacular views throughout the route.

This is not a race. Each rider climbs at their own pace, with stops for hydration, photos, and recovery whenever needed.

Before reaching Curve 1, riders can also enjoy a stop at Villa Paulina, a rustic mountain spot where you can have a traditional Chilean empanada or a refreshing mote con huesillos.

No. One of the main advantages of this private experience is that you choose your own challenge.

Depending on your fitness level, experience, available time, and personal goals, you can finish at Villa Paulina, Curve 1, Corral Quemado, or continue to Farellones.

Your guide will help you decide which option best matches your ability and how you feel during the climb.

The goal is not simply to reach the summit — it is to enjoy your own personal challenge in the Chilean Andes.

Absolutely. Non-cycling companions are welcome to join the experience in our support vehicle.

While you enjoy the climb, your companion can relax, take photographs, enjoy the scenery, and support you along the route from a different perspective.

Because our tours are private and personalized, we can accommodate both cyclists and non-cycling companions in the same experience.

The ride starts in Lo Barnechea and gradually climbs into the Andes, allowing your body to adapt as you gain elevation.

Our private tours allow the guide to adjust the pace and include breaks whenever needed. Staying hydrated, eating regularly, and riding at a comfortable pace will help you enjoy the climb.

If you have any medical concerns related to altitude, please consult your doctor before participating.

For safety reasons, we do not operate the tour during rain or unsafe road conditions.

If weather conditions prevent the tour from operating, you can choose to reschedule at no additional cost or receive a 100% refund if your reservation has already been paid.

Santiago has a generally dry climate, offering excellent road cycling conditions during most of the year.

We understand that travel plans can change. Please review our complete cancellation, rescheduling, and refund policy before booking.
