Taxis

Peru

TAXIS

Are innumerable. They can be flagged down by shouting “taxi” or by waving. Upon arrival at Lima airport an official cap might charge you $ 20 or even $ 25. From any point of the city to the airport is less expensive, about $ 8.00 (an unofficial taxi). Within the city (Lima), the rate will vary from $ 3.00 till $ 8.00. Out of Lima, fares are cheaper. In Cusco, for example, taxi´s charge S/2.00 during the day and S/3.00 after 22:00 within the city. A taxi ride from or to the airport is more expensive. We recommend only official taxis especially during the nights. The cost is the same and they can be recognized because they have a phone number on the roof.
