À vélo de Callao à San Isidro

Get ready for a breezy urban ride from the historic port of Callao to the sleek streets of San Isidro! This route, close to 19 km, takes you from the coastal charm of Callao—famous as Peru’s main seaport and home to the impressive Real Felipe Fortress—right into the heart of one of Lima’s most sophisticated districts.

You'll mostly ride on paved paths, with a good split between concrete and asphalt, and about half your time spent on dedicated cycleways. Expect a mostly gentle roll: there’s minimal climbing and a nice descent as you leave Callao. The majority of your ride follows quiet roads, letting you enjoy city life without too much traffic stress. A small stretch traverses busier roads, so keep an eye out during those parts.

Your destination, San Isidro, is Lima’s business and financial center—think leafy avenues, modern high-rises, and some of the city’s top restaurants and cafés. Make sure to stop by El Olivar Park for a break in the shade among olive trees before you call it a day!
