Miraflores Bike Tour

We will meet in front of the Huaca Pucllana in Miraflores at the scheduled time. After providing 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 will be the Parque del Amor on the Miraflores boardwalk, followed by a break at Salazar Park and a visit to the Larcomar shopping mall. Next, we'll head to Barranco, where we will explore the historical Bridge of Sighs.

We will continue to the Malecón de Chorrillos for views of the pier, the Pacific Ocean, and Morro Solar. After this, we'll cycle to Los Pantanos de Villa, the only protected natural area in Lima. We’ll spend approximately 2 hours here, observing over 210 species of birds and other wildlife, followed by a guided walking tour and a canoe ride. Binoculars and field guides will be provided to enhance birdwatching.

Before returning, we will visit the Maravilla Lagoon by the sea and then head back to Huaca Pucllana, arriving 5 hours later.
