Morning fog lifts from the Pacific and the bike lane on the Miraflores malecón unfurls beneath your wheels — a ribbon of concrete clinging to the cliff edge with surf hissing at its base. This two-hour guided loop threads modern Miraflores and bohemian Barranco: cliff-top promenades, lively parks, and streets where murals argue with the sky.

Helmet and visibility
Bring or request a helmet and wear a brightly colored layer — city traffic is busy and greater visibility keeps group rides safer.
Hydration and sun protection
Even coastal mornings can be sunny; carry sunscreen and finish the provided bottled water if you’ll keep exploring.
Watch the cliffs
Stick to the bike lane on the malecón — cliff edges are exposed and pedestrian crossings can narrow quickly.
