The primary carriers each serve a slightly different niche.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n        <strong>LATAM Airlines:<\/strong> As Peru&#8217;s largest and longest-standing carrier, LATAM offers the most extensive network of routes and frequencies. It is generally considered the full-service standard for domestic travel, with a reputation for reliability.\n    <\/li>\n<li>\n        <strong>Sky Airline:<\/strong> A prominent low-cost carrier, Sky Airline provides competitive pricing on major routes. It is a reliable budget-friendly option, though services are \u00e0 la carte.\n    <\/li>\n<li>\n        <strong>JetSMART:<\/strong> Another popular budget airline, JetSMART often features the lowest base fares. It is a no-frills choice ideal for travelers who pack light and prioritize cost savings.\n    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Principaux p\u00f4les a\u00e9roportuaires<\/h3>\n<p>La plupart des vols int\u00e9rieurs au P\u00e9rou passent par quelques a\u00e9roports cl\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lima (LIM &#8211; Jorge Ch\u00e1vez International Airport):<\/strong> This is the country&#8217;s main international gateway and the primary hub for nearly all domestic connections.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cusco (CUZ):<\/strong> The essential airport for accessing the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and the surrounding Andean highlands.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Arequipa (AQP), Iquitos (IQT), and Juliaca (JUL):<\/strong> These are important regional airports providing access to southern Peru, the Amazon rainforest, and Lake Titicaca, respectively.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Conseils de r\u00e9servation et de bagages<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>R\u00e9servez vos vols bien \u00e0 l'avance, en particulier pour les voyages \u00e0 destination de Cusco pendant la haute saison (juin-ao\u00fbt), car les si\u00e8ges se remplissent rapidement et les prix augmentent consid\u00e9rablement.<\/li>\n<li>Always check baggage allowances carefully at the time of booking. Budget airlines like Sky and JetSMART have very strict limits for both carry-on and checked luggage, with substantial fees for excess weight or size.<\/li>\n<li>Plan to arrive at the airport with ample time before your flight. Lima&#8217;s airport, in particular, can be very congested, and check-in and security lines can be long. We recommend 2 hours for domestic flights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><p>Autocars longue distance (Crucial pour les voyages terrestres)<\/p><\/h2>\n<p>For many routes, Peru&#8217;s modern bus system is a comfortable and scenic alternative to flying, offering a unique perspective on the country&#8217;s changing landscapes.<\/p>\n<h3>Comprendre les classes de bus<\/h3>\n<p>Tous les bus ne sont pas \u00e9gaux. Pour les longs trajets et les voyages de nuit, nous recommandons exclusivement les compagnies de premier ordre qui privil\u00e9gient la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et le confort.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cruz del Sur &amp; Oltursa:<\/strong> These are Peru&#8217;s premier bus companies, widely used by travelers for their excellent safety records, professional service, and comfortable, modern fleets. They are the standard for quality overland travel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cama vs. Semi-Cama:<\/strong> You will typically choose between two seat classes:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cama (bed):<\/strong> These seats recline approximately 160-180 degrees, offering a near-flat sleeping position. They are wider, have more legroom, and are often located on the quieter lower level of the bus.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Semi-Cama (semi-bed):<\/strong> These seats recline to about 140 degrees. They are the more common and slightly more economical option, perfectly suitable for most daytime journeys and manageable for overnight trips.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>On-board services:<\/strong> Premium companies typically provide a meal service (a simple hot or cold meal depending on the route), a small blanket and pillow, and have clean restrooms on board.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>R\u00e9servation et s\u00e9curit\u00e9<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>How to book:<\/strong> Tickets can be easily purchased online through aggregator platforms like RedBus or directly on the bus company&#8217;s official website. Booking a few days in advance is advisable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Terminal Terrestre:<\/strong> In most cities, long-distance buses depart from a central bus station known as the &#8220;Terminal Terrestre.&#8221; Be sure to know which terminal your bus departs from, as some cities have more than one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Safety precautions:<\/strong> Always keep your most valuable items (passport, wallet, phone, camera) in a small bag with you at your seat. Do not store them in the overhead compartment. For overnight travel, selecting a reputable company like those mentioned above is the most important safety measure you can take.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>trains<\/h2>\n<p>Le voyage en train au P\u00e9rou n'est pas une forme courante de transport en commun, mais plut\u00f4t une exp\u00e9rience touristique spectaculaire, en particulier \u00e0 travers les Andes.<\/p>\n<h3>Principales routes touristiques<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n        <strong>Cusco Region (The Andes):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The journey to Machu Picchu is one of the world&#8217;s most iconic train rides.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>PeruRail &amp; Inca Rail:<\/strong> These are the two primary companies operating the route to Aguas Calientes (the town at the base of Machu Picchu). Both offer excellent service and a range of classes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Route options:<\/strong> The most common and scenic route is from <strong>Ollantaytambo<\/strong> in the Sacred Valley to Aguas Calientes. A longer route is also available directly from <strong>Cusco (Poroy station)<\/strong> to Aguas Calientes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Train classes:<\/strong> Service levels vary. Entry-level trains (<strong>Expedition\/Voyager<\/strong>) are comfortable with standard windows. Mid-range options (<strong>Vistadome<\/strong>) feature large panoramic windows on the sides and ceiling for enhanced views. Luxury services (<strong>Hiram Bingham<\/strong>) offer a fine dining and full-service experience reminiscent of classic Pullman trains.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n        <strong>Puno to Cusco (Andean Explorer):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a luxurious, full-day scenic journey that crosses the Altiplano (high plains), offering breathtaking views of remote Andean life. It is more of a rolling excursion than simple transportation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><p>Essentiels de r\u00e9servation<\/p><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Il est absolument essentiel de r\u00e9server vos billets de train pour le Machu Picchu bien \u00e0 l'avance, surtout si vous souhaitez voyager \u00e0 une heure pr\u00e9cise pendant la haute saison. Les billets peuvent \u00eatre \u00e9puis\u00e9s des semaines, voire des mois \u00e0 l'avance.<\/li>\n<li>Be aware of strict luggage restrictions on the Machu Picchu train. Passengers are typically allowed only one small bag or backpack not exceeding 5kg (11lbs). Most travelers leave their main luggage in secure storage at their hotel in Cusco or the Sacred Valley.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Transport local et urbain<\/h2>\n<p>Naviguer dans les villes et les bourgs offre une vari\u00e9t\u00e9 d'options locales.<\/p>\n<h3>Taxis et VTC<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Official Taxis:<\/strong> In most cities, you can find registered taxis, which often have a company name and phone number printed on the side. These are generally a reliable option, especially when arranged by your hotel or a restaurant.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ride-Hailing Apps:<\/strong>\n<p><strong>Uber, Cabify,<\/strong> et <strong>Didi<\/strong> are widely available in Lima, Cusco, and Arequipa. Using these apps is often safer and more convenient than hailing a taxi on the street, as the fare is calculated and fixed in advance, eliminating the need for negotiation and reducing the risk of being overcharged.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Negotiating Fares:<\/strong> Street taxis in Peru are not metered. It is crucial to agree on a price with the driver for your destination *before* you get into the vehicle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>collectifs<\/h3>\n<p>Ce sont des fourgonnettes ou des voitures partag\u00e9es qui circulent sur des itin\u00e9raires fixes entre les villes et les quartiers. Elles constituent un mode de transport principal pour les habitants et une option aventureuse et \u00e9conomique pour les voyageurs. Pour en utiliser une, il suffit de la faire signe sur son itin\u00e9raire, d'indiquer votre destination au chauffeur et de lui payer une petite course directement. Soyez pr\u00eat \u00e0 un v\u00e9hicule bond\u00e9, car elles visent \u00e0 \u00eatre aussi pleines que possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Mototaxis (Tuk-Tuks)<\/h3>\n<p>These three-wheeled motorcycle taxis are ubiquitous in smaller, warmer cities like Iquitos and towns such as Aguas Calientes. They are perfect for short, quick trips within the town&#8217;s limits. As with regular taxis, always agree on the fare before you begin your ride.<\/p>\n<h3><p>Autobus municipaux (Micros)<\/p><\/h3>\n<p>Known locally as &#8220;micros&#8221; or &#8220;combis,&#8221; these public buses are the cheapest way to get around large cities like Lima. However, their routes are often unmarked and confusing for non-locals, and they can be extremely crowded, creating opportunities for pickpockets. For these reasons, we generally do not recommend them for first-time visitors.<\/p>\n<h2><p>Transferts priv\u00e9s et locations<\/p><\/h2>\n<h3>Embaucher un chauffeur priv\u00e9<\/h3>\n<p>Organiser une voiture priv\u00e9e avec chauffeur est une option excellente et \u00e9tonnamment abordable pour des excursions sp\u00e9cifiques, comme l'exploration des diff\u00e9rents sites arch\u00e9ologiques de la Vall\u00e9e Sacr\u00e9e depuis Cusco ou pour les transferts a\u00e9roport. Cela offre une flexibilit\u00e9 et un confort maximum. Nous pouvons r\u00e9server ce service \u00e0 l'avance pour vous, ou il peut \u00eatre organis\u00e9 par votre h\u00f4tel ou une agence locale r\u00e9put\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<h3>Location de voitures<\/h3>\n<p>While major car rental agencies are present in Lima and other large cities, we strongly advise against self-driving for the majority of travelers. Navigating Peru&#8217;s roads can be extremely challenging due to aggressive local driving habits, poorly marked roads, and unpredictable conditions ranging from city traffic to mountain passes. This option should only be considered by very experienced and confident international drivers who are comfortable with a high level of challenge and ambiguity.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Naviguer au P\u00e9rou : Des vols aux bus, en passant par les trains et les voitures de location<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":43691,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"Getting around in Peru","_seopress_titles_desc":"Navigating Peru: From flights and buses to trains and rental cars","_seopress_robots_index":""},"tags":[562,23],"article-type":[24794],"collection":[27040],"continent":[24758],"country":[46],"class_list":["post-25252","travel-guide","type-travel-guide","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-peru","tag-practical-information","article-type-practical-information","collection-repull","continent-south-america","country-peru"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travel-guide\/25252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travel-guide"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/travel-guide"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25252"},{"taxonomy":"article-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article-type?post=25252"},{"taxonomy":"collection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/collection?post=25252"},{"taxonomy":"continent","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/continent?post=25252"},{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=25252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
