Jorge Chávez International Airport

Jorge Chávez International Airport is about 17 km from Miraflores by road. Airport Express Lima buses take about 45 to 70 minutes to reach their four Miraflores stops, depending on traffic. Taxis and transfers follow similar routes through Callao, and traffic at rush hour can add a lot of time, so plan accordingly if you have a connection.

Jorge Chávez International Airport is in Callao, a separate region that forms part of the Lima metropolitan area. It sits about 11 km northwest of Lima's historic center and about 17 km from Miraflores. The new terminal is on the west side of the airport and is reached by road from Avenida Morales Duárez.

Jorge Chávez International Airport has one passenger terminal. The new terminal opened on June 1, 2025, and handles all domestic and international flights. It was built with 59 gates, 46 with jet bridges, and capacity for about 30 million passengers a year. The old terminal on Avenida Faucett no longer handles passenger flights.

The new terminal is reached from Avenida Morales Duárez over temporary modular bridges, and Avenida Faucett no longer leads to passenger services. A permanent access, the Santa Rosa bridge, is under construction, with its main structure expected in mid-2027. Allow extra time for traffic on the access roads, especially at peak hours, when heading to the airport.

LATAM Airlines, Sky Airline and JetSMART run most domestic flights, to cities such as Cusco, Arequipa, Iquitos and Trujillo. International airlines include American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Avianca, Copa Airlines, Aeroméxico, Iberia, Air Europa, Air France and KLM. All of them use the single new terminal, so there is no terminal to choose.

Use the authorized taxi desks in the arrivals hall, whose cars board in a controlled first-floor lane reserved for vehicles approved by the airport operator. App-based taxis that meet the city transport authority's rules can also pick up at the terminal. Avoid offers from people approaching you inside the terminal, and confirm the car's plate before getting in.

Yes. Airport Express Lima is the official airport bus to Miraflores, stopping at four points including Parque Kennedy and Larcomar. Its counter is near the arrivals exits, buses run roughly hourly from about 07:00 to 22:00, and the trip takes about 45 to 70 minutes. The buses have Wi-Fi and USB charging.

AeroDirecto is a public bus service set up by Peru's transport ministry and Lima's transport authority (ATU) when the new terminal opened. Its routes link the airport with Lima Norte, central Lima around Quilca, Pueblo Libre and Javier Prado, and Callao and Ventanilla. It does not go directly to Miraflores or Barranco.

Yes. App-based taxis that meet the requirements of Lima's transport authority (ATU) are allowed to pick up at the new terminal, and the app shows the designated pickup zone. Wait inside the terminal until the app shows your car's plate, then walk out to meet it rather than waiting outside with your luggage.

No paper form is needed at Lima. Peru stopped stamping passports at its main international airports, and Migraciones generates an electronic entry record, the virtual Andean Migration Card (TAM), during immigration control. You can download it free from the Migraciones website. Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality, so check before you travel.

Most travelers connect to a domestic flight to Cusco, the base for Machu Picchu, from the same terminal at Jorge Chávez. LATAM Airlines, Sky Airline and JetSMART all fly Lima to Cusco. Other popular onward flights include Arequipa, Puerto Maldonado and Iquitos, while Paracas on the southern coast is usually reached by road.

Lima uses Peru Time, UTC-5, all year, with no daylight saving time. The currency is the Peruvian sol (PEN). Lima's coastal climate is dry, with almost no rain; summers from December to April are warm and sunny, while winters from June to September are mild and often grey and misty.

Jorge Chávez International Airport is operated by Lima Airport Partners, a concessionaire led by the German airport group Fraport, which has run it since 2001. It handled about 25.5 million passengers in 2025, ranking sixth among airports in Latin America and the Caribbean in the ACI-LAC ranking. It has two runways, the second of which opened in 2023.
