À vélo de Lima à Callao

Get ready for a vibrant city-to-coast ride! You’ll start in Lima, Peru’s bustling capital, known for its historic heart (don’t miss the colonial architecture if you have time) and world-class food scene. The route will sweep you almost due west across about 18 kilometers, with a gentle descent as you leave Lima’s higher neighborhoods behind.

You’ll pass through a mix of cycleways and quiet roads—almost half the ride is on dedicated bike paths, making this a pleasant way to see the real city bustle without too much traffic stress. Some stretches are missing pavement, so be prepared for an adventure vibe, especially as you approach the coast.

Eventually, you’ll roll into Callao, the country’s chief seaport and home to funky street art and the historic Real Felipe Fortress. If you arrive close to sunset, the ocean views are a great reward after your ride. Perfect for anyone wanting to experience authentic urban Peru from the saddle!
