Arriving into Santiago International Airport puts you within easy reach of Macul, Chile. This centrally located commune of Santiago makes for the perfect base to explore the capital and the surrounding region by scooter or motorcycle. With a scooter rental you'll have the freedom to weave through the streets of Macul and quickly get across town to see top sites like Plaza de Armas square, the majestic Metropolitan Cathedral, and Chile's presidential palace La Moneda.
Don't miss the chance to ride up San Cristobal hill where you can soak in panoramic views of the city and the backdrop of the Andes mountains. Venturing just outside the capital, Macul's prime location means you can easily ride out to the coastal towns lining the Pacific Ocean or inland to the valleys and vineyards of the Maipo and Colchagua wine regions. Follow the winding roads out to port cities like Valparaiso to admire the colorful hillside homes and street art.
Or head south to Concon to relax on the black sand beaches. In Macul itself you'll find plenty of dining, shopping and nightlife options to enjoy after a day of riding your rental. Check out the craft breweries and eateries in Barrio Italia or go for a hike in Cerro San Cristóbal.
With so much to do in and around Santiago, renting a scooter, motorcycle or quad bike ensures you'll have the freedom and flexibility to make the most of your time exploring this cosmopolitan capital and the natural highlights of central Chile.
