This unique Chile cycling vacation includes a region most bike tours miss—the coast! As you spin along sunny Chilean shores, you’ll discover a wealth of South American marine life during a boating excursion with a local fisherman. Your local VBT trip leaders will introduce you to the colorful coastal city of Valparaiso—with its brightly-painted buildings and vibrant street art. Turning inland, you’ll spin through the Valle de Casablanca, famous for its fine white wines, and enjoy a tasting at the innovative Kingston Family Winery. Cycle through the Valle dei Maipo—then receive a royal welcome from our friends at the sumptuous Santa Rita Vineyards. As you enjoy the amenities of this opulent estate, you’ll experience a unique wine-tasting workshop, in which an experienced Chilean sommelier helps you uncover the secrets of your own palate.

Santiago (Valparaiso) Santiago (Valparaiso) Santiago, with over four million people, is the fifth-largest city in South America. Standing in a wide plain 1,800 feet above sea level, Santiago boasts a beautiful setting. Snow-capped peaks of the Andes chain provide a dramatic backdrop. Tastefully laid-out public gardens contribute to the beauty of the city. However, Santiago also suffers from horrendous traffic and a high percentage of pollution. The heart of Santiago is the Plaza de Armas, flanked by the cathedral, the archbishop’s palace, the National History Museum and fine arcaded buildings lined with shops. The two-mile-long Avenida O’Higgins is the major thoroughfare, commonly known as the Alameda. There is a splendid view over the city from San Cristobal Hill, crowned by the statue of the Virgin Mary.
