- How expensive the flights are!
Return Flights (Economy class) from Europe are as costly as US $ 1500.00-1900. If you are flying from USA, you may get a return flight to Lima within $800.00. Usually flights from Miami to Lima is only $400.00. You can add the fare from your city to Miami. For the flights peak season is May to September. So probably you will not get cheap rates on these dates.
- Getting Connection to Domestic flights
A good number of people don't stay in Lima. They pass the night at airport and take the morning flight to Cusco or other cities. Here I discussed the Domestic Airlines of Peru and their destinations.

City is not far from Jorge Chavez International Airport. You can move by mainly taxis. You can also rent cars from airport or take tour buses. If you want to go to central plaza, which is the city center, it would be around 30 soles, or 10 US dollar. It would be only 50 soles or 17 US$ to Miraflores, Lima's business center. Try to take the registered taxis.
