Enjoy Lima and its surroundings by bicycle
Crossing Lima by bicycle was for professionals, brave or suicidal. However, there are increasingly more safe options to explore the city on two wheels.
Imagine walking along the Miraflores boardwalk, with a spectacular view of the Bay of Lima, the sea in the background and the clear sky in summer. Then imagine crossing the Armendariz descent until you reach the ravine to delight in its old colonial architecture from the late 19th century, continue to Chorrillos and admire the solar hill up close. All this with the wind cooling your face while you exercise your legs, arms and lungs. Sounds good doesn’t it? Well, this tour is one of those that GOGO BIKING offers to get to know the south of the city.
BIKING THE GREEN COAST
Chorrillos is not a touristic district but it has many stories to tell. This bike adventure is the favorite for people who like the outdoors and enjoy sharing the joy of nature with others. It begins at Kennedy Park going through beautiful parks, passing by street arts of Barranco neighborhood and biking on the shore of “La Costa Verde”. The cherry of the cake is pedal up to the top of El Morro Hill to get a panoramic view of Lima Bay and Jesus Statue.

Bicycle route
We start from our location in Miraflores heading south, always on bike paths.
We passed through Kennedy Park or also called Cat Park.
We will arrive at the most romantic place in Lima: the park of love where we will appreciate the sculpture THE KISS by the Peruvian Victor Delfin. This place is similar to the Paque Guel in Barcelona and is due to the style that the Peruvian artist shares with his Spanish counterpart.
We will continue along the Miraflores boardwalk passing by the second most visited place after Machu Picchu: Larcomar shopping center. This shopping center is ideal to go for lunch or dinner and taste delicious Peruvian food. There are very good and renowned restaurants and cafes where you will also enjoy a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean.
We will arrive at the Barranco viewpoint located on Saez Peña street and we will contemplate the bay of Lima and the San Lorenzo islands and the fronton. Here we will tell you what these islands have in common with Alcatraz Island in San Francisco, California.
We will go a little further away from the cliffs to see the old colorful Barranquina houses and enjoy their late 19th century architecture with large wooden doors and windows. Here we will also enjoy the graffiti and see why Barranco is known as the bohemian and artistic neighborhood of Lima.
