Arrival, information and getting around
|
|
|
You will either arrive in Lima
by plane
, landing at the Jorge Chavez airport, 7km northwest of the city centre,
by bus
, most of which arrive in the older, more central areas of town, or possibly
by train
from the Andes, right into the city centre.
Driving
into the city is really only for the adventurous, as the roads are highly congested with sometimes frustrating traffic levels plus a general madness of fellow drivers, which will either send you insane or turn you into an equally erratic and unpredictable road hog. Wherever you arrive, it can be a disorienting experience, as there are few landmarks to register the direction of the centre of town.
The phone code for Lima and its surrounding regions is 01. Other useful information
