Getting started

Meet your professional English-speaking local guide at the central starting point and get set up with your quality city bike rental, adjusted to your height. After a concise safety briefing, you receive a helmet and reflective vest and learn about the route assistance provided throughout the ride. Once everyone is ready, you begin pedaling toward Miraflores and San Isidro.

What to expect

Miraflores

Miraflores is one of Lima's modern coastal districts, where you start exploring urban life along the cliffs and parks. This portion of the route focuses on oceanfront views and some of the city's most photographed public spaces.

Features

• Glide along the Malecón de Miraflores, an oceanfront path perched on coastal cliffs, while your guide points out viewpoints and local artisan spots that make ideal photo stops.
• Stop at Parque del Amor to see its seaside setting and capture photos with its sculptures and mosaics before continuing toward La Marina Lighthouse.
• At La Marina Lighthouse, your expert English-speaking guide shares local insights about the coastline while you rest briefly with your bike and safety gear close at hand.

San Isidro and El Olivar Park

San Isidro brings a quieter, residential feel, highlighted by one of Lima's most historic green spaces. You shift from the cliffs to tree-lined streets and pre-Inca history viewed from the city.

Features

• Ride through El Olivar Park, known for its grove of 400-plus-year-old olive trees, and hear about its role in the district as you navigate the bike-friendly paths.
• View the exterior of Huaca Huallamarca from your bike, observing the adobe architecture of this pre-Inca temple while your guide explains that interior entrance fees are not included.
• Throughout Miraflores and San Isidro, you benefit from guided stops, a safety briefing at the start, and continuous route assistance to keep the group moving at a comfortable pace.

Huaca Pucllana exteriors

In Miraflores, Huaca Pucllana adds another layer of pre-Inca history to your ride, seen directly from the streets that frame this archaeological site.

Features

• Pause by the exterior of Huaca Pucllana to take in its stepped adobe structure and understand how it fits into Lima's ancient past, without entering the ruins themselves.
• Your professional English-speaking local guide clarifies that entry to Huaca Pucllana is not included on this route, so the visit focuses on exterior views and context from the saddle.

Barranco art district

Barranco is Lima's recognized bohemian quarter, filled with street art, colonial-era homes, and an easygoing pace that contrasts with the business districts. You conclude your loop here before cycling back to the starting point.

Features

• Follow your guide into the Barranco art district to see colorful alleys, street murals, and colonial homes that illustrate the area's creative identity.
• Walk your bike or stop near the historic Puente de los Suspiros to hear stories about this local landmark and observe the surrounding viewpoints.
• With your quality city bike rental, helmet, and reflective vest included, your guided city bike tour of Miraflores, San Isidro, and Barranco covers El Olivar Park, Parque del Amor, the Malecón de Miraflores, the Barranco art district, La Marina Lighthouse, and Puente de los Suspiros in a single circuit, while viewing Huaca Pucllana and Huaca Huallamarca from the exterior.
