Travel Note

Flights, Transportation, and Safety

Your arrival date range here is January 6th-January 9th- comfortably, you’ll want to be in Lima and settled by the morning of the 9th. Avianca and Latam are our favorite airlines, and make sure you review the customs requirements before booking a flight with a layover (for example, with a one hour layover, you will not get through customs in time in the Colombian airport… trust us. We learned the hard way.) if you’ve got a favorite airline, or a points card, fly to Lima’s Jorge Chavez International Airport. Please DO NOT leave the airport to call a taxi. You will want to go to a taxi stand inside of the airport. Once in Lima, stick to Uber- it’s safer, and it is super affordable. You will be paying in Peruvian Soles, which is 3.65 soles to one dollar. The ride from the airport can take 45 minutes to an hour 30. Unfortunately, the politics in Peru over the years has created a strong class divide. If this is your first time visiting a country like this, please be kind and careful. Try not to be on your phone too much in or around the airport. When you are driving through the neighborhoods that surround the airports please do not roll down your windows (for pollution) and lock your doors. It is likely your uber will be driving like a maniac. Don’t worry- they know what they’re doing.
