Distances in Lima

Below we give you on overview of some distances within Lima. Listed distances are approximate driven or walked distances between Lima's city center and points of interest (mainly in the center), between Lima's city center and all other districts of Peru's capital including Callao, between the tourist district of Miraflores and some points of interest and between Miraflores and all other districts of Peru's capital including Callao. Please note that distances might vary depending on the actual driven route.

Although most distances don't seem far, traffic in Lima is horrendous and congestions especially on main roads are a common daily occurrence. While you might be able to reach the airport from Miraflores on a quiet Sunday in 20 minutes, it's also possible it takes you one and a half hours on a weekday. Or the few kilometers from the city center to Miraflores might take an hour on a bad day. The same applies for trips to Lima's outer districts: for 30km or 40km you might have to plan an hour or two to reach your destination. Best ask at your hotel or hostel how much time is needed for a special trip and plan accordingly.
