Callisthenics locations in Miraflores

Parque El Principito
Located along the Malecón de Cisneros
This location is certainly not the only place to do callisthenics in Miraflores, but next to a kids’ play area, you will find parallel bars, monkey bars and a pull-up bar.
What I like about this workout area is that it’s away from the main walkway of this particular stretch of the malecón. So, no people constantly passing you, unlike other workout areas along the malecón. The workout area is down a flight of steps from the Malecón Cisneros road and not only overlooks a couple of parks but, of course, the ocean, leaving you with incredible views, particularly if you’re working out around sunset.
Just bear in mind that there will likely be lots of children running around here in the late afternoon/early evening - at least during the summer. They may even try and use the callisthenics equipment at the same time as you!
To avoid children, or if it’s busy with other calistenistas, consider heading southeast through the park for a couple of minutes in the direction of the lighthouse to reach another set of callisthenic bars.
Malecón de Miraflores
The Parque del Principito callisthenics location is just one of several callisthenic workout zones along the malecón. I can think of three other areas to work out. You’ll likely end up passing some when you’re out walking or running along the malecón. Google Maps is also your friend, as it will show variations of the Spanish term barras de calistenia to indicate where you can do callisthenics.
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 these callisthenics locations along the malecón or any other workout areas in Lima?
