Trip overview

If you have a long layover in Lima, you don’t have to spend it at the gate. Leave your bags at the airport, our driver takes you to your guide in the Historic Center, and after about 4 hours of Plaza Mayor, the cathedral and colonial mansions, the same driver brings you back to the airport. We track your flight and plan the times around it. Want all the details first? Read our Lima layover guide.

Questions about this trip

How long does my layover need to be?

At least 10 hours. The tour takes about 4 hours, the drive to the center 30–45 minutes each way, you need time for immigration, and you should be back at the airport 3 hours before an international flight.

What do I do with my luggage?

Leave it at the official 24/7 Left Luggage on Level 1 (arrivals), next to the OXXO between the domestic and international exits. About S/48 per day for a small bag and S/96 for a large one; bring your ID.

Do I need a visa to leave the airport?

It depends on your passport. Check Peru’s entry requirements for your nationality before you book.

What if my flight is delayed?

Send us your flight number. We track it and adjust the pickup; if the delay leaves too little time, we’ll tell you honestly.
