We will begin our bike tour at the meeting point located in the district of Miraflores. We will start this biking adventure by riding through the streets of this tourist-friendly area until we reach the archaeological centre of La Huaca Pucllana (closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays).
Built between 200 and 700 AD, this architectural complex was constructed by the Lima culture, one of the pre-Inca civilisations of the central coast of Peru. The huaca consists of a large adobe pyramid, which reaches a height of 25 metres, surrounded by courtyards, plazas, and other ceremonial and administrative structures.
If you take the tour on Tuesday or Thursday, you will visit the Huaca Huallamarca, an archaeological site located in the district of San Isidro. It is a stepped pyramid that was built and used by various pre-Hispanic cultures over several centuries. Initially, the structure belonged to the Lima culture. Later, it was occupied and modified by the Wari culture and later by the Incas.
The huaca is mainly made of adobes, large mud bricks, and has been restored several times to preserve its structure and make it accessible to the public. Inside, burials, offerings, and various ceramic and textile objects have been found, indicating its ceremonial and funerary use.
We will continue the bike tour through the beautiful parks of these two districts until we reach the Malecón of Miraflores, where we can ride with incredible views of the Pacific Ocean.
We will visit the Surquillo market, one of the most popular and busiest traditional markets in the city. This place is known for its wide variety of fresh products, including fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, seafood, and a large variety of local food products. You can enjoy a delicious natural fruit juice.
We will take a break with a delicious coffee overlooking the sea. At the end, we will return to the meeting point.
