The experience

You start in Miraflores and ride along the Malecón, the clifftop promenade that runs the length of the district. The route passes Kennedy Park, where the guide explains the history behind the street food and the cats that fill the central plaza, then moves to Love Park: the city's most romantic spot, shaped by the influence of Antoni Gaudí's Park Güell. From there you cycle past Larcomar, the only shopping mall built into a cliff face, and reach the Bridge of Sighs, where locals make wishes. The guide handles the pacing and the stops. You handle the pedals.

The second half takes you into Barranco, Lima's bohemian district, where the bike becomes your gallery pass. You ride past murals and street art covering entire buildings (the biggest outdoor gallery in the city), and see how the architecture shifts as you move toward the ocean. The guide points out the evolution of the neighborhoods and the best spots for pictures. The ocean stays in view. All three hours stay on safe, guided routes with a local expert who knows the streets and speaks English or Spanish.

Bikes, helmets and safety gear are provided. The tour suits all fitness levels, though you'll be cycling for three hours with stops built in. Public transportation options are nearby if you need to get to the starting point, and the minimum age is 12.
