FLIGHTS

TO AND WITHIN

PERU

and how to
maximize a layover

Getting to
Peru

You will fly into:
✈ LIM — Jorge Chávez International Airport

Any airline that works for your schedule is fine,
however our favorites are LatAm and Delta.

Arrival times can also be customized to your schedule, but need to be at least 2 hours prior to your connecting flight to Cusco.

For departure times on the last day of the trip, we highly recommend booking the latest flight possible. Almost every guest who has booked an earlier flight has ended up wishing they’d stayed longer to maximize their time!

Connecting Flights

In addition to your international flight, you need to book a roundtrip domestic flight within Peru from Lima ⇄ Cusco. This booking needs to be done on the Latam Airlines website.

Outbound: Departing Lima on Day 1, November 7th

Please book the 12:45PM flight departing Lima. Your international flight needs to arrive at least 2 hours before departure. A group airport transfer will meet everyone at the Cusco airport 2:15PM.

Inbound: Departing Cusco on Day 4, November 10th

Please book the 4:25PM flight departing Cusco for Lima.

Once you have your flights booked, be sure to share them with the retreat leads so we can track your transfers for a seamless journey! Reach out with any questions and share flight details with hello@laonza-space.com or by replying to your registration confirmation email!

Layovers in Lima

For all of our retreats, you need a connecting flight to meet us, and sometimes the gap can be long, creating a lengthy layover.

In other cases, you might choose to spend extra time in Lima to explore the city. Whatever the circumstance here is what you need to know about layovers in Lima.

Long Layovers

Best Neighborhood: Barranco

Barranco is Lima’s most vibrant and creative neighborhood, a coastal district known for its colorful streets, historic architecture, art galleries, cafés, world-class restaurants and relaxed bohemian energy. Set above the Pacific Ocean, it offers beautiful cliffside walks, some of the city’s best restaurants.

If you are planning to visit Lima before joining the retreat, we recommend staying in Barrranco as a home base. Our favorite place is:

  • Barranco Boutique Hotel by 3B — affordable, clean, well located, this is a great place to drop your things, explore the neighborhood and sleep soundly, with a front desk, airport transfer service and security.

Check out our blog for the Ultimate Guide to Lima with recs on where to eat, shop, check out art and even dance.

Staying Near the Airport

If your layover is a bit shorter and going into Barranco isn’t an option, you may prefer something closer to the airport: Here are some great options:

  • Wyndham Grand Hotel — ideal for overnight, walking distance from the arrivals gate, and we’ve heard great things about the breakfast buffet!

  • Sleepover Pods — perfect place for a comfortable rest, whether that’s an overnight sleep or few hours nap, these pods are brand new and equipped with showers and beds.

  • Luggage storage counters — if you have a daytime layover and are curious to check out a bit of Lima, you can also drop your bags at a secure storage counter, grab and Uber and head into the city. This is perfect for daytime layovers of 8-10 hours.
