How to Get to Chiclayo: Flights, Buses & Transport

Planning a trip to Chiclayo? Learn the best ways to travel from Lima, including flight options, luxury buses, and local transport tips for international guests.

Reaching Northern Peru is much easier than many first-time visitors realize. Because Chiclayo is a major commercial hub, it offers excellent connectivity to the rest of the country. Whether you prefer a quick flight or a scenic bus ride, you have several reliable options to reach your luxury rental.

Flying from Lima to Chiclayo

The fastest way to arrive is by air. Major airlines like LATAM and Sky Airline operate multiple daily flights from Lima’s Jorge Chávez International Airport. Specifically, the flight takes only about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Consequently, you can leave the capital in the morning and be sitting in your Alquileres GR apartment by lunchtime. We recommend booking at least two weeks in advance to secure the best rates.

Luxury Bus Travel

Alternatively, if you enjoy seeing the coastal landscape, Peru offers high-end luxury bus services. Companies like Cruz del Sur or Ittsa Bus provide “Suite” seats that recline 180 degrees. Furthermore, these buses offer Wi-Fi, meals, and high security. While the journey from Lima takes approximately 12 hours, traveling overnight allows you to save on a night of accommodation and wake up refreshed in the North.

Getting Around the City

Once you arrive, navigating Chiclayo is straightforward. While traditional taxis are everywhere, we suggest using apps like Uber or Caban for added security and fixed pricing. Additionally, our properties sit in central, well-connected neighborhoods. This means you are never more than a short ride away from the airport or the main bus terminals.
