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 adventure. After safety instructions and sharing the history of this site, we will embark on a 16-kilometer (9.9-mile) ride to Los Pantanos de Villa.

Our first stop is Parque del Amor, followed by Salazar Park, where we'll visit Larcomar shopping mall. Next, we will head to Barranco, exploring the Bridge of Sighs, which is associated with local legends.

We’ll continue to the Malecón de Chorrillos for views of the fishermen’s pier, the Pacific Ocean, and Morro Solar. Our final destination is Los Pantanos de Villa, the only protected natural area in Lima. Here, we will spend about 2 hours observing over 210 bird species. The visit includes a guided walking tour and a canoe ride, with binoculars and field guides provided.

Before returning, we’ll visit the Maravilla Lagoon by the sea and then cycle back to Huaca Pucllana, arriving approximately 5 hours after we start.
