Discover Lima's hippest neighborhoods on this bike tour through Miraflores and Barranco leading to Los Pantanos de la Villa.

Miraflores Bike Tour

We will meet in front of the Huaca Pucllana in Miraflores to begin our tour. After safety instructions and an introduction to the history of the huaca, we’ll embark on a 16-kilometer (9.9-mile) adventure to Los Pantanos de Villa.

Our first stop will be Parque del Amor on the Miraflores boardwalk, followed by a visit to Salazar Park and a break at the Larcomar shopping mall.

Next, we will head to Barranco, visiting the Bridge of Sighs noted for its legends. From there, we’ll cycle to the Malecón de Chorrillos for views of the Pacific Ocean and Morro Solar.

Our destination will be Los Pantanos de Villa, a protected natural area in Lima. We will spend about 2 hours in this wildlife refuge, where you can observe over 210 bird species. This includes a guided walking tour and a canoe ride. Binoculars and field guides will be provided for bird identification.

Before returning, we’ll visit the Maravilla Lagoon near the sea, arriving back at Huaca Pucllana after approximately 5 hours.
