Getting to the city
Plan the last leg into Lima before you land rather than at the kerb. Official taxi ranks and app-based rides are the usual way in; confirm the fare in the app or at the desk before you get in, and ignore anyone who approaches you inside the terminal offering a ride. Traffic in Lima is heaviest in the morning and late afternoon, so build in slack if you have a connecting flight or a meeting waiting. Landing late at night, arrange your transfer in advance instead of sorting it out on arrival.
