Important Note

The meeting point will be at the main entrance of the Port of Callao, called APN. Our team will be waiting there with a sign bearing our agency's name, "Lima Discover," ready to begin the tour.

Most cruise lines offer buses that transport passengers from the pier to the main port entrance, which takes about 15 minutes.

However, sometimes passengers are taken directly to the Miraflores district. In that case, we can also pick you up there. Just let us know one or two days before the tour, and we'll make sure everything is arranged for your group. The drive to Miraflores will take approximately 50 minutes.
