What airports are closest to Lima?
Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) is the main gateway to the capital, situated 8.2 km from the city center, and is typically reached by official taxi in 30 minutes. This facility handles the vast majority of international and domestic traffic, offering structured ground transport options like the Airport Express Lima bus. In contrast, Francisco Carle Airport (JAU) is located in the neighboring city of Jauja, approximately 173.2 km away from the Lima city center, and serves primarily as a regional connection point for the central highlands. A local taxi ride from JAU to central Jauja takes about 10 minutes, highlighting its role as a regional hub rather than a direct entry point for the capital. While LIM is the most convenient choice for visitors arriving in Lima, JAU is essential for travelers specifically visiting the Mantaro Valley region.

For most travelers, Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) is the practical choice: it serves as the primary international and domestic gateway located in Callao, just outside the Lima city center, and offers the widest variety of transport options including professional shuttle services and official taxis. The remaining option is not in Lima at all: Francisco Carle Airport (JAU) serves the nearby city of Jauja and the surrounding Junin region, making it suitable only for those traveling to the central Andean highlands rather than Lima proper. While JAU is located significantly further away from the Lima capital, it is a convenient hub for regional exploration. Travelers should note that transit from LIM to downtown Lima can be affected by heavy metropolitan traffic, making pre-booked shuttles or official taxis recommended for comfort and security. Conversely, JAU is a small, regional facility where local taxis provide quick access to Jauja city. Always verify your destination city before booking to avoid significant travel disruptions between these two distinct geographical regions.

Right during the Easter holiday, it was super convenient to have a mall next door. It's about 1 km from the main attraction, Plaza de Armas, which is a 15-20 minute walk. A taxi ride to the airport takes about half an hour.FromUS$88

Poor sound insulation, obedient in the next room can be heard. The most important thing is that when I was preparing to book other Hilton hotels in the past two days, I found that the hotel did not give me a score. At that time, I had already shown him the account of Golden member and provided the account information.FromUS$180

San Isidro Lima|5.26km from city center
The hotel is in a great location, next to a large Lima mall, less than 1 minute away. You can go there often. There are many convenience stores, pharmacies, etc. around. The waiters are very polite and enthusiastic. The room is also very large and comfortable. There is also a jacuzzi. It is along the street and a bit noisy, but the windows can be closed to block 95%. The soundproofing effect is very good. The only drawback is that the towels should be replaced, they are not so new.FromUS$98

If you want to remember this city at first glance, then stay in the JW Ocean View Room. It's perched on a rock, and down below you you can see Haidian Avenue, the shopping mall complex, and the surrounding affluent neighborhood where people stroll in the evening. We arrived at the hotel quite late, but still managed to catch the sunset. Lima is a city where there's no bad food, and it has amazing ingredients. I've never seen asparagus this thick before, and the corn was enormous. It's not genetically modified; it's the yang energy of this place that nurtures its ingredients.FromUS$264

Totally shocked after 2 nights in this hotel. We checked in in evening and wanted to take a shower. But we didn’t have hot water in our room. After calling to reception service man came and told that we need to change room. Reception didn’t answer my calls.
Next day after we came from sightseeing some things disappeared from our room (coffee, cookies and invitation to drinks). During check out nobody helped us to get into the car with our luggage.
And we had only one slippers, one robe in our room. It’s 5 stars hotel! 😅FromUS$122
