Local flights over the lines only. Lima or Arequipa are the usual arrival points by overnight bus; Pisco or Ica are closer to the coast.

Driving and onward travel

Driving: on the right. Tourists can drive with a home licence plus an IDP for a limited period; driving in Lima is chaotic.
Onward travel in Peru: Premium overnight buses (Cruz del Sur, Oltursa) link the coast and Andes; flying Lima–Cusco saves a long day. Trains run only to Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca.
