Lima

The journey begins

Private jet to Lima

Lima's appeal lies in its Pacific setting, distinctive neighbourhoods and food culture. It also works as an international gateway before a separately planned Andean or Amazon itinerary.

Where to land for Lima

Jorge Chávez International is in Callao, outside the main visitor neighbourhoods of Miraflores and Barranco. Build a realistic ground-transfer allowance into the arrival, particularly if the flight is followed by an evening reservation.

The operating carrier should confirm aircraft suitability, handling, permissions and the onward transfer for your itinerary.

What to do in Lima

Miraflores offers Pacific views and walks, while Barranco brings a distinct arts and neighbourhood atmosphere. The historic centre provides another side of the city. Lima's dining culture is a reason to stay in itself, with enough time between meals and wider sightseeing.

Best time to visit Lima

December–April usually offers warmer, brighter coastal weather. May–November is often overcast and humid, despite limited rainfall; conditions differ sharply from the Andean interior.
