5 Fun Things To Do in Lima Today

Are you already in Lima and wondering what exciting activities you can do today?

Forget slow walking tours, long taxi rides, or crowded buses.

If you’re looking for fun, stunning views, and a unique way to explore the city, this experience is for you.

On a private electric scooter tour, you’ll ride through five of Lima’s most vibrant districts.

From the best viewpoints the city has to offer, to neighborhoods full of personality, energy, and incredible scenery—every stop has its own charm.

From cliffside parks in Miraflores to bohemian alleys in Barranco and coastal roads in Chorrillos, everything is included in an unforgettable route.

Discover 5 fun things you can do today—each one part of a tour designed for adventurers, explorers, and curious travelers already in Lima.

Activity 1: Ride along the Miraflores Boardwalk with ocean views

Enjoy one of Lima’s most beautiful coastal paths.

From an electric scooter, you’ll take in panoramic ocean views, green cliffs, and surfers gliding on the waves.

It’s the perfect place to take pictures, enjoy the fresh sea breeze, and discover Lima’s unique style.

Recommendation:
Take a photo in front of the lighthouse or at the famous Parque del Amor. Both are iconic stops on our route.

Activity 2: Next stop: Barranco, Lima’s most artistic and bohemian district.

As you enter this magical place, the city transforms.

Colonial mansions, colorful murals, and picturesque streets narrow and come alive with texture, rhythm, and expressiveness.

By scooter, you’ll explore iconic landmarks like the Bridge of Sighs, main squares, and countless works of street art that transform walls into open-air galleries.

Explore cobblestone streets and urban trails.

Barranco isn’t just beautiful; it’s full of life. With an electric scooter, you’ll see more than most travelers do, without having to go too far to appreciate the details.

Travel tip: You’ll have time to stop and take photos, cross the Bridge of Sighs to make a wish, and much more!

Activity 3: Chorrillos: Coastal Roads and Spectacular Cliff Views.

As your route continues, you’ll descend into Chorrillos, a traditional coastal district that feels very different from Miraflores and Barranco.

Here, the city becomes more local and authentic: fishing boats in the distance, winding coastal roads, and steep cliffs framing the Pacific Ocean.

On some routes, you’ll have views of Morro Solar, the hill that overlooks Chorrillos and offers one of the most breathtaking panoramas of Lima.

From your scooter, you’ll feel the breeze pick up, the traffic thin out, and the coastline unfold before you—a side of Lima that many tourists never see.

You’ll experience Lima’s less refined, more local energy while still enjoying safe and scenic roads along the ocean.

San Isidro: Green Parks and a Modern Skyline

From the coast, your adventure takes you to San Isidro, Lima’s elegant business and residential district. After the rugged coastal atmosphere of Chorrillos, San Isidro feels like a tranquil, verdant respite in the heart of the city.

You’ll pass by tree-lined areas, parks, and wide avenues, and depending on the route, you might see places like the famous El Olivar Park, with its centuries-old olive trees and peaceful atmosphere.

The combination of modern glass buildings and quiet residential streets offers a completely different perspective on Lima’s character.

Why it’s special: It showcases Lima’s more refined, business-class side, without sacrificing the relaxed feeling of riding an electric scooter.

Magdalena del Mar: Seafront Promenade and Everyday Life

To complete the circuit, your tour may take you to Magdalena del Mar, a district that combines coastal views with a very local atmosphere. Here, the Costa Verde feels less touristy and more like a place where Limeños live, stroll, and enjoy the beach.

You’ll travel along sections of the coastal road where you’ll see beaches, small piers, and locals exercising or simply relaxing. It’s the perfect contrast to the famous Miraflores boardwalk: the same ocean, but with a different rhythm.

Why it’s special: Magdalena gives you that “travel where the locals travel” feeling, making your scooter tour feel less like a typical tour and more like a day in the life of Lima.
