The Experience

The ride starts at Kennedy Park in the heart of Miraflores, where you'll get fitted on your bike and meet the group before a quick safety briefing. From there, quiet bike paths lead you onto Lima's clifftop boardwalk—the Marina Lighthouse comes first, where you can pause and watch paragliders drift above the Pacific. The route stays on the oceanfront for most of the morning, which is what keeps the traffic noise away and the views constant.

Love Park is the centerpiece stop: colorful mosaics, a famous sculpture at its heart, and panoramic views of the ocean. You'll have time to shoot photos and linger. After that comes Larcomar, the shopping and dining center built into the cliffs—your guide will point out the Paddington Bear statue and explain why it's the kind of place you'd never find on your own. Then you cross the Peace Bridge into Barranco, Lima's artistic neighborhood. The ride takes you along Sáenz Peña avenue, lined with restored mansions and small galleries, before you reach San Francisco Square, where the pace shifts to something quieter and more residential than most visitors see.

The final stretch gives you free time to wander Barranco's Bajada de Baños—the charming pedestrian lane with street art and artisan shops—before one last stop at the Bresciani Viewpoint for sweeping ocean views. Then you ride back along the coast to Miraflores. The whole tour is three hours, and your guide will have local tips on restaurants and hidden spots for the rest of your stay.
