Miraflores Bike and Surf: Half-Day Bike Tour with Surf Lessons in Lima
Ride Miraflores’ coastal boardwalk, learn to stand on a board at Makaha Beach, and then keep the bike for a self-guided spin through Lima’s seaside neighborhoods. This half-day pairing is beginner-friendly and packed with local color.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring layered clothing
Mornings can be cool near the cliffs and warm in the sun; a light windbreaker over swimwear works well.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect skin and local marine life—apply before the surf lesson and reapply after riding.
Secure a basic helmet fit
Correct helmet fit reduces risk on urban streets and boardwalks; ask staff for adjustments if needed.
Hydrate and snack
One bottle of water and a cereal bar are provided, but pack an extra snack for post-surf energy.
