  • Airlines operating this route include Air France, KLM, Iberia, and British Airways.
  • Flight duration is around 14-16 hours, depending on the layover.
  • Return ticket prices generally range from £550 to £900, depending on the season and how far in advance you book.

Taxi Services:

  • Official Airport Taxis: Authorized taxi companies like Taxi Green, Taxi Direct, and Taxi 365 offer services from the airport. Fares to Miraflores or the city center typically range between 60 to 70 PEN (£13 to £15).
  • Private Taxi Transfers: Services such as Taxidatum provide pre-booked transfers. For example, a sedan accommodating up to 4 passengers charges 60 PEN (£13), while a van for up to 7 passengers costs 110 PEN (£24) for a trip to Miraflores.

  • Peruvian Shuttle: Provides door-to-door services with prices starting from 25 USD (£18) for transfers between the airport and various Lima districts.

  • Combi Buses: These are small minivans used for public transportation without fixed schedules. Fares to the city center are around 2 PEN (£0.50), but the journey can take between 1 to 2 hours, and transfers might be necessary.

Additional information
Currency & Exchange Rates
  • The official currency is the Peruvian Sol (PEN).
  • Exchange rates fluctuate, but approximately:
    • 1 British Pound (GBP) ≈ 4.50 PEN
    • 1 US Dollar (USD) ≈ 3.80 PEN
  • It’s a good idea to check the latest exchange rate before exchanging money.
Best Way to Exchange Money
  • Official Exchange Houses (Casas de Cambio) – These offer better rates than banks and are generally safe. Look for well-established exchange offices in districts like Miraflores and San Isidro.
  • Banks – Major banks like BCP, Scotiabank, BBVA, and Interbank exchange foreign currency, but their rates might be slightly less favorable than exchange houses.
  • ATMs – A good option if you need cash in PEN. However, some ATMs charge withdrawal fees (10-20 PEN per transaction). Check with your bank to see if they have partner banks in Peru to avoid high fees.
  • Hotels & Airports – Exchange services at the airport and hotels are convenient but usually offer the worst rates.
Cash or Card?
  • Cash: Always carry some cash in small denominations (10, 20, 50 PEN) for taxis, markets, small restaurants, and tips. Some places might not accept large bills like 200 PEN.
  • Credit/Debit Cards: Widely accepted in supermarkets, shopping malls, restaurants, and hotels. Visa and Mastercard are the most commonly used. American Express and Diners Club are accepted in some high-end places.
  • Mobile Payments: Some businesses accept Yape or Plin (Peruvian digital payment apps), but they require a Peruvian bank account.
Best Currencies to Bring to Peru
  • US Dollars (USD) are the easiest foreign currency to exchange in Peru.
  • Euros (EUR) are also exchangeable but less common than USD.
  • British Pounds (GBP) may be harder to exchange, so bringing USD and exchanging it for PEN might be a better option.
Gold & Cryptocurrency Exchange
  • Gold: Not commonly used for transactions. Selling gold in Peru requires visiting specialized dealers, which might not offer the best rates.
  • Cryptocurrency: While crypto adoption is growing, it is not widely accepted in everyday transactions. Some exchange services allow converting crypto to PEN, but these are limited and may charge high fees.
What to Avoid
  • Street Money Changers (“Cambistas”) – While some are legitimate, there’s a risk of receiving counterfeit bills.
  • Counterfeit Bills – Fake banknotes are common. Always check money received, especially 50, 100, and 200 PEN bills. Look for security features like watermarks and color-changing ink.
  • Exchanging Large Amounts at Once – Exchange only what you need to avoid carrying too much cash.

Scams

Fake Taxi Scams

  • How it works: Unofficial taxis, often without proper identification, may approach you at the airport or on the street and offer a ride for an unusually low price.
  • How to avoid: Always use official taxi apps (like Beat or Cabify) or request taxis from your hotel. Avoid hailing random taxis on the street.

Currency Exchange Scams

  • How it works: Some currency exchange booths might offer attractive exchange rates, but you might receive counterfeit or low-value bills in return.
  • How to avoid: Only exchange money at official exchange offices or banks. Double-check the bills you receive.

Street Performers and Beggars

  • How it works: In busy tourist areas, individuals may approach you pretending to be homeless or perform a “magic trick” and then demand payment.
  • How to avoid: Avoid engaging with strangers offering unsolicited services, and keep your distance if they approach you aggressively.

Fake Tour Guides

  • How it works: Some individuals may pose as official tour guides, offering tours at extremely low rates, only to take you to over-priced shops or ask for more money midway through the tour.
  • How to avoid: Always book tours through reliable agencies or well-rated online platforms like Viator or GetYourGuide.

ATM Skimming

  • How it works: Scammers install card skimmers on ATMs to capture your card information and withdraw money from your account.
  • How to avoid: Use ATMs located inside reputable banks, and check for any unusual devices attached to the ATM before using it.

Overcharging for Souvenirs

  • How it works: In popular tourist markets, some vendors may offer souvenirs at high prices, especially when they know you’re a tourist.
  • How to avoid: Always negotiate the price or shop around before making a purchase.

“Friendly” Locals Offering Help

  • How it works: Someone may approach you offering to help with directions or take a picture for you, and then demand a tip or lead you to an overpriced service.
  • How to avoid: Politely decline offers of unsolicited help. Always be cautious when interacting with strangers.

Taxi Fare Scams

  • How it works: Some taxi drivers may not use a meter or may claim it’s broken, then overcharge you at the end of the ride.
  • How to avoid: Agree on the fare before getting in the taxi or use an app like Beat or Cabify, which provides clear rates.

Fake Accommodation Listings (Airbnb and Hotels)

  • How it works: Some fake listings for short-term accommodations, particularly on platforms like Airbnb, might offer deals that seem too good to be true, but when you arrive, the place either doesn’t exist or is vastly different from the listing.
  • How to avoid: Always read reviews and verify the location or host. Stick to reputable platforms and double-check details before booking.

Phone Scams (SIM Card)

  • How it works: Some sellers might offer overly cheap SIM cards for tourists, but upon activation, they may either charge you high rates or limit your usage.
  • How to avoid: Only purchase SIM cards from reliable stores, such as official carrier outlets or stores in shopping malls.
Things to be aware of

Respect for Personal Space

  • Culture: Peruvians tend to have a more personal and close-knit approach to interaction, especially when greeting. A handshake is common, but in more relaxed settings, a hug or kiss on the cheek may occur.
  • Tip: While hugging or kissing on the cheek is common among friends and family, always wait for the other person to initiate if you’re not familiar with them.

Greetings

  • Culture: A handshake is the standard greeting, but among close friends or family, a kiss on the right cheek is common. In business settings, a firm handshake is preferred.
  • Tip: Always greet with a smile and show respect, especially if you’re meeting someone older or in a formal context.

Dress Code

  • Culture: Lima has a relatively casual dress code, but it’s always important to dress neatly, especially in restaurants, upscale cafes, and cultural sites.
  • Tip: When visiting religious or cultural places, such as churches or museums, it’s best to wear modest clothing (e.g., covering shoulders and knees). Avoid wearing shorts or revealing clothing in more formal or sacred settings.

Dining Etiquette

  • Culture: In Peru, mealtime is a social event, and meals are often enjoyed slowly, especially dinner, which typically takes place later in the evening (around 8 PM or later).
  • Tip: Wait for the host to begin eating or signal it’s time to start. It’s also polite to keep your hands on the table (not in your lap) during meals.

Tipping Etiquette

  • Culture: Tipping is customary in restaurants, cafes, and for services like taxis or hotel staff, but not always mandatory. A 10% tip is appreciated in restaurants if service is good.
  • Tip: Check the bill, as some places might include a service charge. If not, a 5-10% tip is appreciated. For small services (e.g., porters, taxis), round up the fare or give 1-5 PEN (£0.20-£1).

Politeness & Communication

  • Culture: Peruvians are polite and place importance on maintaining a respectful tone in conversation. Directness is appreciated, but there is an emphasis on courtesy and indirectness in sensitive situations.
  • Tip: Avoid being overly blunt or confrontational. Show respect for personal opinions, even if you disagree. Be mindful of body language, as gestures can sometimes be misinterpreted.

Punctuality

  • Culture: In business settings, punctuality is important, but in casual or social situations, being a little late is often acceptable, especially in more relaxed areas like Barranco.
  • Tip: If you’re invited to an event, being on time is respectful, but it’s not uncommon for social gatherings to start a bit later than planned.

Respect for Traditions and Religion

  • Culture: Peru has a deep connection to Catholicism, and many cultural traditions are tied to religious practices. Always show respect when visiting churches or attending religious ceremonies.
  • Tip: Avoid loud conversations or disruptions in places of worship. When visiting Inca ruins or cultural landmarks, it’s important to show respect for the history and significance of these sites.

Public Behavior

  • Culture: Public displays of affection (PDA) are generally not encouraged in more conservative areas, particularly in smaller towns or rural regions. However, in Lima, especially in Miraflores or Barranco, it’s more relaxed.
  • Tip: Keep PDA minimal in public spaces, especially in less touristy areas, and avoid any overly intimate or loud behavior in public settings.

Street Vendors & Beggars

  • Culture: Lima’s streets are often filled with vendors selling goods or food. While it’s common to be approached by street sellers or beggars, it’s important to be respectful when declining.
  • Tip: Politely say “No, gracias” if you’re not interested in buying something. Avoid engaging too much with beggars and keep your valuables close.

Photography Etiquette

  • Culture: Peruvians are generally friendly about tourists taking pictures, but ask permission before taking photos of individuals, especially in more rural or indigenous areas.
  • Tip: When visiting markets or indigenous communities, ask first if you can take someone’s photo, as some people may view it as intrusive. Always respect their wishes.
Weather
  • Summer (December to March)
    • Weather: Warm to hot, with temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F). Expect sunny days with minimal rainfall. However, Lima’s summer is also marked by higher humidity.
    • Best for: Enjoying outdoor activities, beaches (Punta Hermosa, Miraflores), and exploring parks and coastal areas. Great for tourists who love vibrant city life.
    • Worst for: Travelers who are sensitive to humidity, as the high levels of moisture can feel uncomfortable, especially near the coast. Crowds may be bigger during this period due to local holidays and international tourists.
  • Autumn (April to May)
    • Weather: Milder and more pleasant temperatures between 19°C to 24°C (66°F to 75°F). The weather starts to cool down, with less humidity and occasional cloudy skies, but still very comfortable.
    • Best for: Sightseeing and exploring the city. The weather is ideal for outdoor activities like walking tours and visits to museums and historical sites. Fewer tourists compared to summer.
    • Worst for: Those seeking beach days as the coast becomes a bit cooler and overcast, especially towards the end of autumn.
  • Winter (June to September)
    • Weather: Cool and misty, with temperatures averaging 15°C to 19°C (59°F to 66°F). This is the time Lima experiences the garúa, a cold, dense fog that covers the city, especially in June and July. While it rarely rains, the mist can make it feel damp and chilly.
    • Best for: Exploring indoor attractions such as museums, galleries, and historical sites. The cooler weather makes it more comfortable for visiting areas like San Isidro or Miraflores for longer periods.
    • Worst for: Beach activities, as temperatures drop and the coastline becomes foggy. The gray, misty weather can feel dreary for some travelers, and outdoor events may be limited.
  • Spring (October to November)
    • Weather: Warm and dry, with temperatures ranging from 18°C to 25°C (64°F to 77°F). This is a pleasant time with clear skies, moderate temperatures, and an increase in sunshine after the mist of winter fades.
    • Best for: Outdoor sightseeing, visiting parks, and enjoying the city’s beauty without the crowds of peak tourist seasons. It’s also the perfect time for photography.
    • Worst for: Nothing major during this period—it’s generally considered one of the best times to visit Lima.
Best Time to Visit:
  • April to November (especially April, May, October, and November) offers the most comfortable temperatures and clear skies. This period avoids the foggy winter and extreme summer heat, making it ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities.
Worst Time to Visit:
  • June to July (winter season) may be a less favorable time for some visitors due to the cool, misty weather. If you’re planning to enjoy beaches and outdoor activities, these months can feel a bit too chilly and gloomy.
