By bicycle from Lima to Santiago de Surco

Get ready for a fun urban ride! Start in buzzing downtown Lima, famous for its colonial architecture and thriving culinary scene. From there, you’ll cruise mostly on paved, cycling-friendly paths (lots of smooth asphalt and concrete) as you make your way south through vibrant neighborhoods. The route is a gentle one, with a mild climb of just over 60 meters and more downhill stretches—so expect a mostly relaxed spin.

You’ll ride mainly on dedicated cycleways and quiet roads, keeping the busy city traffic to a minimum. There’s plenty to see along the way, from leafy parks to lively local markets, giving you a true taste of Lima’s daily life.

Your journey wraps up in Santiago de Surco, a quieter, greener corner of the city known for its family-friendly vibe, modern parks, and open-air shopping spots. It’s a great destination if you want to wind down with a coffee or just enjoy a walk. All in all, it’s a perfect urban escape for cyclists looking for a change of scenery without leaving the city.
