I'll go first in english and second in pigeon Espanol

The wife and I are headed to Chile for the first 2 weeks of April for our honeymoon and we were hoping to get in a week or so of road riding somewhere in the lakes district or in the wine country. We can bring pedals etc, just need to find a place that will rent a decent road bike (56 for me, 50-52 for her) for one week?

Mi mujer y yo vamos a ir a Chile para nuestra luna de miel por las dos primeras semanas de Abril. Queremos hacer una semana de bicicleta de carretera en el district de los lago o en la tierra de vino. Necesitamos dos bicis, una 50 o 52 para ella y para mi 56. Hay un sito donde podriamos aliquilarlos por una semana?

Gracias!
Robert

The wife is from chile. Been there a few times now. Always stay in Vina, Renaca, Valparaiso, or Santiago. I have looked and looked but could never locate a rental shop with actual road bikes. We did a city tour in santiago with bicicleta Verde. But was just a cheap trek mtb. Sorry I couldn't be more help but if you have other questions ask away
I love it there. Also post if you do find somewhere that does rent.

Thanks, Nick. Yeah I think it's going to be a tough ask but we'll see. We're hoping to do a bit of a whirl wind 2 weeks but it would be great to get out on the bikes, such a nice way to see a country.
