La Bicicleta Verde
Bike, Walking & Wine Tours in Santiago & Valparaiso, Chile
La Bicicleta Verde was once just a dream that owners Peter and Joel liked to entertain over beers. Once they proposed to each other that showcasing their beloved city in an ecological and unpolluted way was an actual possibility, they got to work. How could two avid cyclists take people around Santiago de Chile while not contributing to the CO2 emissions of the city? The answer was obvious: bike tours. They joined forces and immediately ventured into Santiago by bike to come up with the best cycling routes.
After teaming up with GAMA BIKES, they were ready to power through the highs and lows that were sure to come. Though neither Joel nor Peter had a business background and they both agreed to be a more “go with the flow” team, they were determined and they had one thing going for them: consistency. They were set on creating an organization with an energetic and upbeat personality, and they haven’t wavered from their initial vision and values.

Taste delicious wine | Ride through the vineyards
The Maipo Valley, a hidden oasis on the outskirts of Santiago, is the perfect place to savor the best of Chile’s wine culture. Pedal by the Andean foothills deep into Chilean countryside on either our morning or afternoon tour. We travel along on the edge of the world’s largest vineyard, ending our 9-km outing at a quaint, boutique winery, William Fevre. Imagine yourself on vacation, riding a green bike in the middle of a vineyard with the Andes towering in the background. This unique experience is enough to make anyone envious!
With a La Bicicleta Verde wine and bike tour, you can be more green, support local businesses, and have a lot more fun! There’s no better way to escape the city for a few hours than gently cycling in the fresh mountainous air. The natural beauty and high quality wines originally brought us to the Maipo Valley, but is our vineyard partners, who believe that bikes should be part of our local sustainability, that have convinced us to stay (not that we needed much push!). The Green Gurus (your guides) are wine experts and will make you feel comfortable during the experience.
