Lima

Miraflores links Pacific views with a descent to lower coastal paths and a climb back. Barranco offers a shorter run on its upper malecón, while San Borja’s external Pentagonito circuit adds a separate suburban outing. The cliff-top parks and lower seafront are different levels: follow the saved public connections and allow time for steps.
