Cycling day trip from Lima to San Isidro

Starting off in vibrant Lima, where the city buzzes with both culture and Peruvian charm, you're set for a pretty sweet cycling journey over to San Isidro. The route is just over 23 kilometers, which makes it a solid ride, and it's mostly on dedicated cycleways, so you can glide along without too much stress from traffic.

You'll pedal over a relatively gentle terrain, with a 62-meter ascent that will get your legs warm, and then it's mostly downhill as you drop 210 meters into San Isidro—a peaceful and upscale district renowned for its lush parks and palm-lined avenues. It's like cycling into a breath of fresh air!

The route surface is predominantly smooth with 54% asphalt and 38% concrete under your wheels, making it a comfortable ride. With Lima's energetic pace at your back, you'll enjoy the quieter rhythms of San Isidro, where you can treat yourself to a café stop in one of the neighborhood’s trendy spots or stroll through the famous Olive Park.

Whether you're conquering this ride for the exercise, the sights, or just to say you did, it’s a perfect mix of urban exploration and relaxation. Happy cycling!
