Itinerary
Meet your guide in the heart of Miraflores, where we'll get everyone comfortably fitted on their bikes before setting off. After a quick safety briefing, you'll have a moment to meet the group, soak up the neighborhood's lively atmosphere and get ready for a relaxed ride through Lima's most beautiful districts.
Leave the city streets behind as quiet bike paths lead you onto Lima's spectacular clifftop boardwalk. Pause at the Marina Lighthouse to take in sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, watch paragliders drifting above the coastline and discover why this scenic route is one of the city's favorite places to ride.
One of Lima's most iconic viewpoints, Love Park combines colorful mosaics, ocean breezes and panoramic views of the Pacific. Take your time to capture photos, admire the famous sculpture at the heart of the park and enjoy one of those places that instantly makes you slow down and appreciate the moment.
Stop beside the famous Paddington Bear statue for a unique view of Larcomar, Lima's shopping and dining center built into the cliffs above the Pacific Ocean. Almost hidden from street level, it's one of those places many visitors would never discover on their own—and the perfect spot to come back later for lunch, dinner or sunset drinks.
Enter Lima's most artistic neighborhood as you cross the Peace Bridge and leave the busy city behind. Cycle along the elegant Sáenz Peña avenue, lined with beautifully restored mansions, boutique hotels and small galleries, before continuing to the charming San Francisco Square, where you'll experience a quieter, more authentic side of Barranco that many visitors never get to see.
Enjoy free time to explore Barranco's most iconic corner at your own pace. Wander through the charming Bajada de Baños, admire colorful street art, browse local artisan shops or simply soak up the neighborhood's creative atmosphere. Before heading back, make one final stop at the Bresciani Viewpoint for sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and one last unforgettable photo.
Enjoy one last ride along Lima's scenic coastline as we cycle back to Miraflores. It's the perfect time to take in the ocean views one last time and ask your guide for local tips on restaurants, cafés and hidden spots to make the most of the rest of your stay in Lima.

Spent an amazingly wonderful afternoon biking with our tour guide Gonzalo. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly and super fun to hang out with. He knew all the spots to see and was eager to answer any questions. The best part for me, was seeing him enjoying this ride as much as we were. He didn’t come across like a paid tour guide, but more like a friend excited to show off his City. I would absolutely recommend Gonzalo, truly a special day spent in a beautiful City. Thanks Gonzalo!! Dave and Kim

Thank you for your recommendation, and I hope to see you again someday. Safe travels! 🚲🇵🇪

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure spending the day with you. I’m delighted to hear you enjoyed exploring Miraflores and Barranco by bike and that our conversations made the experience even more memorable. For me, every tour is about more than just visiting beautiful places—it’s about sharing stories, exchanging ideas, and helping travelers experience Lima in a genuine way. Thank you for your kind words and for recommending Rueda Lima Tours. I hope our paths cross again the next time you’re in Peru. Safe travels! 🚲🇵🇪
A fantastic experience! Gonzalo was a very kind, enthusiastic guide who was passionate about his city. Throughout the entire tour, he told us many stories and interesting facts that made the visit very entertaining. In addition, he took us to beautiful and authentic places that we probably never would have discovered on our own. The route was very well organized and was a perfect way to get to know the city. We recommend this tour and Gonzalo 100%!
¡Muchísimas gracias por tu reseña, Emely! Fue un verdadero placer compartir Lima contigo. Me alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutaste del recorrido y que las historias, la cultura y los lugares menos conocidos hicieron que la experiencia fuera especial. Mi objetivo es que cada viajero descubra la ciudad de una forma auténtica, relajada y cercana, visitando rincones que normalmente pasan desapercibidos y disfrutando del recorrido a un ritmo cómodo. Muchas gracias por recomendar Rueda Lima Tours y por dedicar unos minutos a compartir tu experiencia. ¡Será un placer volver a recibirte si algún día regresas a Lima! 🚲😊
My wife and I took the half-day bicycle tour with Gonzalo, and it did not disappoint! We were able to see so much of Lima by bike, including the Olive Tree Forest, the Malecón overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and the Miraflores and Barranco districts. The pace was relaxed, with several stops to discuss the history of Lima and take photos along the way. Gonzalo is an excellent tour guide with an easygoing personality that made the experience even more enjoyable. The bikes were perfect — brand new and very comfortable. We can’t recommend Rueda Lima Tours enough!

Thank you as well for your kind words about my guiding style. I love sharing the history, culture, and hidden stories of Lima while making sure every guest feels comfortable and enjoys the ride. I'm also very happy that you appreciated our brand-new bikes—they're an important part of providing a safe and comfortable experience. Thank you again for your recommendation. I hope to welcome you both back for another ride the next time you're in Lima. Safe travels! 🚲🇵🇪
Excellent tour! Very enjoyable, Gonzalo was very professional and warm at the same time, always attentive to the cyclists, traffic, and questions. I was able to do it by chance. The bicycles are almost brand new, they provide equipment, lights, highly recommended!
THIS WAS INCREDIBLE. Our guide took us to the best spots and allowed us time to explore on our own as well. We did this on teh first day and really got the feel of the city. We got a great workout but didnt feel rushed at all. This was the best experience in LIMA and I highly recommend!
