Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Port Area à Las Piñas

Roll out from Manila’s Port Area and trace the Manila Bay shoreline, skirting the walls of Intramuros before cruising south through Malate and Pasay into Parañaque, then bending inland to Las Piñas. It’s a mostly flat city ride (under 80 m total climbing) over predominantly paved concrete and asphalt. Expect plenty of quiet backstreets with a few busier stretches and the occasional short cycleway; truck traffic near the port and some hectic junctions will keep you on your toes. Go early for cooler temps and lighter flow, and bring lights if you’ll hit dusk.

Fun bits: the Port Area anchors the country’s main harbor right beside historic Intramuros. Down in Las Piñas, cap the ride with a peek at the 19th‑century Bamboo Organ at St. Joseph’s Church, or detour to the Las Piñas–Parañaque Critical Habitat for mangrove breezes and birdlife.

Distance is about 27 km door to door—plan extra time for stops and typical Metro Manila traffic.
