The morning starts on two wheels along the Malecón in Miraflores, the Pacific pushing a cold breeze that teases your face as the city wakes. Riders roll past Kennedy Park’s mosaic of street artists and into the cliff-top promenade where the sea dares you to look farther. The route is mostly paved boardwalk and low-traffic streets, offering steady, flat cycling with occasional short stair or ramp descents down to small beaches.
