Quick ride by bicycle from Santiago de Surco to San Luis

Here’s a fun urban ride! Starting in Santiago de Surco—a lively Lima district known for its parks, shopping centers, and chill residential vibes—you’ll pedal north toward San Luis. The route covers about 12 km, making it a solid trip for intermediate cyclists or as a scenic city commute.

Most of the ride is on cycleways and quiet roads, so you can expect a fairly relaxed journey with minimal traffic. The route isn’t too hilly, but there’s a gradual ascent of around 109 meters along the way, enough to get your legs working without wearing you out.

You’ll pass through a vibrant slice of Lima, catching glimpses of local neighborhoods and, depending on your timing, lively street life. Your endpoint is San Luis, famous for the Estadio Nacional, home to Peruvian football—and a bustling residential and commercial hub.

A mix of paved and unclassified surfaces keeps things interesting, so watch for changing road textures. It’s a great ride to explore some lesser-seen corners of Lima!
