By far the easiest way to get to Arequipa is by plane, landing in Rodríguez Ballón airport, and 7km from the city. LanPerú, Aero Condor and Star Perú fly from Lima, Juliaca and Cuzco. A taxi from the airport to the Plaza de Armas should cost between S/12 and S/20, depending on the size of the car, the size of your bags and your bartering skills.

By bus:

You can get a bus to Arequipa from every important city in Peru. From Lima the trip will last 16 hours. It’s advisable to take non stop express buses. Usually they are the more expensive service but are the safest for tourists. From Arica / Tacna the trip lasts 7-9 hours. There are several departures a day from Cuzco ( 9 hours, 30-60 soles), Puno (5 or 6 hours,15-30 soles), Pisco (12-14 hours, 50-150 soles), Nazca (9 hours, 50-150 soles) and Tacna (near the border with Chile, 6 hours).

Ask the bus driver to get off at Plaza de Armas, one of the most important places of interest in Arequipa, from there, you can walk, we are at only 4 blocks away and you’ll find us easily between calle Peral and Rivero.

Try to avoid cheap buses. With buses, the more you pay the higher quality bus, service, and safety. Some of the more reputable companies are Cruz Del Sur, Ormeño, Oltursa and Flores.
