Getting Around
Peru has a constant procession of flights and buses connecting the country. Keep in mind,
poor weather conditions can wreak havoc on schedules.
AIR
Domestic-flight schedules and prices change frequently. Most big cities are served by mod-
ern jets, while smaller towns are served by propeller aircraft.
» Be at the airport at least 60 minutes before your flight departs (be at least 90 minutes
early in Cuzco, and two hours in Lima). Check-in procedures can be chaotic, and it's not
unknown for flights to leave before their official departure time because of predicted bad
weather.
» The peak season for air travel within Peru is late May to early September, as well as
around major holidays.
