Montevideo Bike Tour & E-Bike Picnic: Ciudad Vieja to the Rambla
Pedal through Montevideo’s historic Ciudad Vieja, glide along the 22‑km Rambla, and finish with a relaxed picnic and mate tasting. Small groups and optional e‑bikes make this an easy, social way to see the city’s highlights.
The Experience
Before You Go
Choose an e‑bike if you want less effort
E‑bikes are available for an extra USD 10 and help on longer stretches of the Rambla or against coastal wind.
Bring sunscreen and a hat
The Rambla offers little shade; UV can be strong even on breezy days, so protect exposed skin.
Wear comfortable closed-toe shoes
Streets include cobbles and light walking inside markets—sturdy footwear improves control and comfort.
Hydrate before and during the ride
Bottled water is provided but carry a refillable bottle if you prefer; coastal wind increases dehydration.
