Board your bike directly at the pier. After receiving a short safety briefing and a bottle of water, your guide will lead you and your fellow cyclists into the city of Montevideo. At Plaza Zabala you’ll see the statue of Bruno Mauricio de Zabala, founder of the city. As you cycle through the maze of shadowed streets, you’ll find yourself at Constitution Square, the oldest plaza in Montevideo and home to the beautiful Metropolitan Cathedral. Pause briefly to soak up the history and admire the beautiful architecture. Continue cycling towards the Palermo district and along the coast to Pittamiglio House, the former home of Humberto Pittamiglio. Pause to photograph the exterior of this unconventional building. As you cycle back towards the downtown area, stop en route for photos at Punta Carretas Lighthouse. Round off your tour at Independence Square, where you’ll see the old Citadel Gate, the bronze statue of José Gervasio Aretigas and Salvo Palace, before cycling back to the pier.
