More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The ride begins on the Malecón in Miraflores, wind off the Pacific pushing at your back as the city’s cliffs unfurl into blue. Cyclists roll past grassy viewpoints and sandstone escarpments, the ocean daring them to look up from the saddle. The route slips into Barranco’s narrow streets where color and street art flank colonial balconies, then climbs toward the weathered metal of the Bridge of Sighs and down toward the bay.
