The Morro Cross
ALONG THE BAY OF LIMA
3 hours ride along the cycle lanes of the seafront of San Isidro, Miraflores, Barranco and the coastline of Lima known as Costa Verde. The main goal is to get to the Cross at the top of El Morro de Chorrillos for a wide view of Lima city.
Difficulty: Easy / Beginners
Season: All the year.
About the Place:
In recent years, government initiatives have transformed the road along the coastline into a space for multiple use. Today, we can enjoy a flat cycling lane that spans almost the entire bay. This makes this trail very safe to ride bikes, and better if early, when there are few people around.
About the Rides:
Starting from our office we need to ride less than 5 minutes to get to the beaches or the seafront cycle lanes, once there, we have to follow the way to El Morro.
1. The Cross Ride: Good for average cyclists, 2 hours of effective riing time and a maximum of 30 Km. One way could be done along the beaches and return by Lima Seafront, it includes the climb to El Morro viewpoint.
2. Basic: Just a ride along the seafront to the bottom of El Morro. Ideal for non regular cyclists (loop of 20K approx)
Extra Activities: We may start early and take a breakfast on our way back in Barranco or after the ride walk a couple of blocks and visit the local market and pick some bread, juice, coffee or fruits (spends not included).

Seasons:
Available the whole year.
From July to September, rain becomes more common in the city, which may result in ride delays or rescheduling to the afternoon. Lima is not well built for rain; as a result, when it is wet, it takes a considerable amount of time to dry. On hot days is a smart decision to ride as early as possible to avoid the heath and the crowd that goes to the beaches.

Try to bring your basic equipment: helmet, gloves, if not we provide them.
Just a small snack and 1 Lt of water. There are lot of shops on the way. Sunscreen in summer.
A wind vest or a couple of layers on winter days.
