Activities in Lima

Guided cycling tours through Lima's coastal districts, typically covering the Miraflores Malecón, Barranco's street art scene, and the clifftop parks along the Pacific.

Hands-on ceviche-making workshops in Miraflores where you learn to prepare Peru's national dish using fresh seafood from the Pacific. Classes typically include a market visit and pisco tasting.

Tandem paragliding from the Miraflores cliffs is one of Lima's most exhilarating activities, offering a bird's-eye view of the coastline, the malecón, and the Miraflores skyline. Thermal updrafts from the Pacific create reliable flying conditions year-round.

Playa Makaha, nestled below the Miraflores cliffs, is Lima's most accessible surf break and a gathering point for the city's active surfing community. Consistent waves and nearby board rental shops make it welcoming for beginners while still offering rides that appeal to intermediate surfers.
