WHERE TO DO CALLISTHENICS
IN LIMA: BARRANCO
Callisthenics location in Barranco

Estadio Luis Gálvez Chipoco
Located next to Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MAC)/Barranco-Miraflores boundary
This location is really an athletics track, but there are some rather neglected callisthenic bars on the inside of one of the bends. I was always the only person using the bars, although you will see people using the track.
A couple of drawbacks: this workout area has absolutely zero shelter (more of an issue during the summer), and it is not free, at least not for someone like me. As this complex is managed by the local authorities, it will cost you S/4* to use the track i.e. the workout area. (Obviously, that’s not a lot, but you will be used to these kinds of public workout areas being free.) Technically, the entry fee entitles you to one hour of access, but I can’t imagine anyone is going to chase you out.
*There is no charge for Barranco residents i.e. if your DNI has a Barranco address. Simply saying I live in the building across the road won’t work!
Where else can you do callisthenics in Lima?
There will be other callisthenic parks and outdoor gyms all across Lima, which you’ll find just by walking or running around like I did. Calisthenic Parks is a site that lists where you can do open-air workouts across the city. I couldn’t tell you how accurate and up-to-date most of the locations for callisthenic parks are, but the site can give you some ideas about where you can do callisthenics in Lima.
Do you have anything to share about this callisthenic location in Barranco or any other workout area in Lima?
