rome2009 Posted September 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Has anyone done Lima Peru from the cruise port on their own? If so, what did you use to get to the city etc. Please advise. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnvcanada Posted September 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Because of the location of the port area, most of the cruise lines run shuttles to two large shopping malls. Callao is a large working port. At the malls there will be lots of taxi drivers and private tour operator there. If you know where you want to go it is easy. We always walk through the mall to a different opening, again always taxis waiting to take you somewhere. You arrange by the location the price. It is always much cheaper outside the main drop off area. Be sure to take a photo of the entrance y.ou are using as the mall can be confusing. You arrange price by the location, rather than a meter ride. Traffic is very bad in Lima, and do take this into consideration when DYI tour. You will need to return to the mall to get back to your ship. It can take between 20 to 40 minutes to get to the malls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rome2009 Posted September 25, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Would you know the cost of a taxi to the main downtown area of Lima from the shopping malls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bl413 Posted September 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Downtown Lima is an interesting area with many beautiful Squares, the palace ( watch the changing of the guards) you'll recognize the song they play as a Simon and Garfunkel tune!! Also make sure to visit the San Francisco Church . The Miraflores area is also lovely area to walk around and visit the shopping area across from the Marriott.

rome2009 Posted October 11, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted October 11, 2017 From my research I believe it will be San Miguel Shopping Plaza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
