Are you feeling excited about your upcoming trip to Peru? This Peru Airport guide will tell you everything you need to know about getting in, out, and navigating Peru’s Airports. Keep reading for all the necessary information you need to make your journey to and from the Airport stress-free and enjoyable. Let’s dive in and prepare you for an unforgettable trip to Peru!
As soon as the plane lands, the first thing everyone does is turn on their phone. If you set yourself up with an eSIM or have an international plan, you are good to go. However, if you are planning to pick up a SIM card at the airport, you may need to utilize airport WiFi. Most international travelers will enter Peru through Lima International (LIM) or Cusco International (CUZ).
LIM offers visitors 30 minutes in two 15-minute intervals of free WiFi. Additionally, there is an option to pay per hour by credit card. Some restaurants and cafes provide free WiFi with a purchase.
CUZ Airport, unfortunately does not have free WiFi available, although there is WiFi offered on the second floor in certain cafes. However, you must purchase something and stay inside the café for the WiFi to work.
When planning a trip to Peru, we advise that you kindly consult your nearest Peruvian Embassy or Consulate for information regarding entry visa requirements and customs procedures specific to your country of origin. It is important to note that entry and exit conditions can be subject to change with little notice, and we encourage you to stay up-to-date on the latest regulations to make your travel experience as hassle-free as possible.
The local currency in Peru is the sol. US dollars are accepted in many stores, restaurants, hotels, and service stations. You will find currency exchange counters at the international Peruvian airports, which will exchange your cash for a fee. Personally, I avoid currency exchange counters and head straight to airport ATMs.
ATM cash machines at the airport are usually located at both the arrival and departure areas. In order to be sure, asking your bank in advance or confirming through ATM locators is a better way to go. Also, before you leave your home country, make sure to contact your bank (and credit card issuers) and inform them that you will be traveling internationally to avoid any red flags on your account.
