About this activity

Between parks and viewpoints you'll find a continuous flat path for jogging or cycling with minimal elevation gain. The bike lane is marked, though some sections are shared with pedestrians — slow down at crossings. Early morning has fewer people and lighter wind. If you didn't bring a bike, there are hourly rentals near the Miraflores malecon.
