Cycling day trip from Callao to Lima

Start your cycling adventure in Callao, Peru's bustling seaport just a stone's throw from Lima. Callao, rich in history, is known for its vibrant maritime culture and historical landmarks like the Fortaleza del Real Felipe. As you pedal away from the port, you'll mostly glide along smooth asphalt with the occasional stretch where the surface mysteriously disappears—it’s part of the charm!

The ride spans 23.8 kilometers—a perfect length to get the blood pumping without wearing you out. Thankfully, most of the route consists of cycleways and quiet roads, so you can enjoy the journey with fewer interruptions from traffic. You’ll have a mild ascent of around 156 meters—not too shabby for stretching those legs—and a slight descent towards the end, giving you a nice cool down as you approach Lima.

Lima, your destination, awaits with its mix of colonial architecture and modern skyline. Be sure to take a stroll through Miraflores for stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, or dive into the rich flavors of Peruvian cuisine. Enjoy this scenic ride connecting two of Peru's vibrant hubs!
