Cycling day trip from La Molina to San Isidro

Starting your ride in La Molina, a tranquil and upper-middle-class district known for its serene residential areas and notable schools, you’ll embark on a delightful cycling journey towards the lively bustle of San Isidro. The route spans a little over 43 kilometers, with mostly gradual descents, making it perfect for a comfortable day ride.

Your path takes you through a mix of asphalt and concrete surfaces, with a good portion on quiet roads and dedicated cycleways. This makes for a smooth and enjoyable ride with minimal interaction with busy traffic. You'll enjoy some minor climbs, with the highest elevation reaching up to 284 meters, providing a slight challenge for the day but nothing too daunting.

The transition from La Molina’s calm environment into San Isidro is quite the experience. San Isidro is one of Lima’s most bustling business districts, known for its skyscrapers, vibrant parks, and historical sites. It's a welcome contrast to your starting point and a fantastic area to explore post-ride. Maybe treat yourself to a stroll through the Bosque El Olivar, an ancient olive grove, or relax in one of the district's charming cafes. Happy cycling!
