5 sports activities to do in Miraflores

Hello everybody! I hope that you are all well. In this post I want to share some ideas with you for sport activities that you can do in the tourist district, Miraflores. Some of them are quite simple and others are quite extreme so it depends on our own preferences.

As you already know, Miraflores which faces the sea, is a district that has access to the natural beauty of the Green Coast. This is a promenade where you can enjoy many activities to alleviate stress or stay fit.

Without further introduction, let's begin with these activities.

1. Do paragliding in Raimondi park

For all extreme sports lovers and those who want to feel like a bird, I have good news! In Miraflores you can do paragliding in the Raimondi Parkwhich is next to the Park of Love.

Flying from these heights will take you on an adventure over the coast of Lima where you can appreciate our city and sea. Paragliding doesn't last long but it is worth it. Especially because of the incredible view of the city of Lima from this height. Come and forget about your fear!

2. Run along the Green Coast

No matter what time of day, it's always good to do sport and to do it with an incredible view of the promenade is the best thing you can do to relax and alleviate the stress. These parks are public so all you need is a good pair of running shoes. Plus, from here you can watch the sunrise or sunset. If you wake up early to practice sport, then what better way to start your day, than from this interesting point in Miraflores.

3. Challenge the waves and go surfing

As you know, Miraflores has beaches with a lot of waves. From the higher part of the park of love, you can see a lot of people surfing every day in Miraflores beaches. For those who have never tried to surf, I recommend that you take a course at Miraflores beach. If you go down to the lower part of the park of love, there are different surfing schools that give personalised lessons as well as providing you with the surfboard and wetsuit so you can ride the waves as you please. Take into account that it doesn't matter whether it is spring summer autumn or winter. You can go surfing in Miraflores in any season. Let's go!

4. Ride your bike along the promenade

For those who want to do a relaxing and pleasant activity, what is better than renting a bike in Salazar park, in the same place where Larcomar shopping centre is located. You can rent bikes for hours and go along the promenade and pass through all the parks. For example, you could create an itinerary from the Park of Love and then go to Kennedy park and then come back through Larco avenue until you reach your starting point. Also, if you can your own bike then you have no excuse not to come here!

5. Skating along the promenade of the Green Coast

Other activities that people are starting to do, is skating in the parks. Normally people do it in groups of friends so it is a good way to have fun in the tourist district of Miraflores.
