Airport Transfer 24 horas
Arriving in Lima can be rather intimidating, as the airport is a long way from the centre and the taxi touts can be very aggressive.
For this reason the hostal Pukara offers a competitively priced (check your guidebook) $15 dolares taxi service; the driver will collect you from arrivals (with a sign bearing your name!) and take you directly to the hostel. If there are more than three people in your party,
we can arrange a mini van $25 dolares to collect you.
