Terminal Transfer
Both the International Terminal and the Domestic Terminal are located in one building; all areas are accessed by foot.
Getting into Town
Taxi: Taxi booking desks are located in national and international arrival areas. Ensure that you agree on a price in PEN, or “soles”, before alighting as some taxi drivers use a scam that confuses passengers into believing the agreed price is in PEN and then, upon reaching the destination, claim that negotiations were in US dollars.
Bus: Buses do not enter the airport grounds; rather, they stop on the main avenue which is a 15-minute walk from the terminal building.
Car Parking
Parking is available across from the main terminal building.

Information desks located in the main hall of the international and domestic zone provide airport, flight and tourist information.
