À vélo de San Luis à Santiago de Surco

Hop on your bike in San Luis—this bustling district is home to great markets and is right in the heart of Lima. Set off heading south, and within moments you’re zipping through stretches of dedicated cycleway—over three-quarters of your route is specially made for bikes, so relax and enjoy the ride!

You’ll cover just over 16 km, passing through a mix of surfaces: most of your route is missing detailed info, but the rest is a pleasant mix of pavement, concrete, and asphalt—no major rough patches to worry about. There’s a gentle ascent of less than 50 meters, but overall, it’s mostly downhill as you lose about 150 meters in elevation heading towards Santiago de Surco.

Your journey ends in Surco, a lively district known for its parks and laid-back neighborhoods. With lots of quiet roads and almost no busy main streets on this route, it’s a great ride for avoiding traffic and soaking up local Lima life. Don’t forget to check out Surco’s famous Plaza Mayor when you arrive!
