Cycling day trip from San Luis to San Isidro

This ride takes you from San Luis, a charming historic district in Lima, to the upscale San Isidro neighborhood—a true change of scenery! You'll pedal for about 23.4 km, mostly on smooth cycleways (over 80% of the route), so it's pretty friendly for all levels. The elevation is kind: you’ll do just under 50 meters of climbing, but enjoy a nice, steady descent of over 230 meters as you approach the coast.

San Luis is known for its local markets and vibrant residential vibe, while San Isidro welcomes you with leafy parks (like the famous El Olivar), modern buildings, and plenty of coffee shops for that post-ride treat. Most of the route is paved, with a mix of concrete and asphalt, so your tires will stay happy. It’s a great urban ride for getting to know two very different sides of Lima—expect plenty of street life, local color, and a pretty relaxing ride into one of the city’s greenest neighborhoods!
