Pedal Miraflores: Coastal Bike Tour Through Lima's Seaside District
Ride the Malecón, feel the Pacific breeze and visit Miraflores’ plazas, gardens and coastal viewpoints on a guided three-hour bike tour. Ideal for riders with moderate fitness who want a fast, local orientation to Lima’s seaside district.
The Experience
Before You Go
Use the bike lanes
Stay in the designated Malecón bike lanes where possible—they're the safest route and offer the best views.
Morning for clearer skies
Start in the morning to avoid coastal fog and heavier pedestrian traffic later in the day.
Lock or secure belongings
Bring a small lock or keep valuables on your person when stopping; plazas are busy with vendors and visitors.
Hydrate and snack
Carry water and a light snack—three hours of riding plus stops is more active than a walking tour.
