Description
Experience Lima's vibrant neighborhoods on this cycling tour that takes you through Miraflores and Barranco, concluding at Los Pantanos de la Villa. Embark on a memorable journey across the Peruvian capital.
Miraflores Bike Tour
We will gather in front of the Huaca Pucllana in Miraflores at the designated time to kick off our excursion. Prior to our departure, participants will receive important safety guidelines while learning about the fascinating history of this renowned archaeological site. Once equipped, we will embark on a 16-kilometer (9.9-mile) journey towards Los Pantanos de Villa.
Our first destination will be the Park of Love, a romantic spot perched on the Miraflores boardwalk. Following this, we will make our way to Salazar Park where we will take a short break and explore the nearby Larcomar shopping center.
Next, we will pedal towards Barranco, known as the bohemian district of Lima. In Barranco, we will visit the Bridge of Sighs, an ancient wooden structure rich in legends, believed to grant wishes made during the crossing.
Continuing our route, we will reach the breathtaking Malecón de Chorrillos, where we’ll stop to admire stunning views of the fishermen’s pier, the expansive Pacific Ocean, and the Morro Solar. Make sure to have your camera ready!
Afterwards, we will cycle towards Los Pantanos de Villa, recognized as the only protected natural area within Lima. We will dedicate around 2 hours in this wildlife sanctuary, offering opportunities to spot over 210 species of birds alongside an array of other wildlife. Here, we will leave our bicycles for a guided walking tour, followed by a canoe excursion. To enrich your experience, binoculars and field guides will be provided for birdwatching.
As we wrap up our visit, we’ll stop at the Maravilla Lagoon, situated by the coastline. We will then commence our return journey to Huaca Pucllana, concluding our adventure in approximately 5 hours.
