Get in

To travel around Peru comfortably, you can choose from reliable bus companies like ExcluCiva, Cruz del Sur, Oltursa, and Peru Bus (Soyuz). Among these, Peru Bus offers the most affordable rates. These bus companies have stations in Lima, Paracas, Ica, and Nazca. They even provide connections to Arequipa or Cusco, although sometimes the schedule may not always be met. For more information on these services and others, you can visit the website AndesTransit. Another convenient option is Peru Hop, which operates buses 7 days a week between Paracas and Lima. They also have a daily connection to Huacachina and offer routes going south towards Arequipa via Nazca. Peru Hop provides a comfortable and safe trip, with free pickups and drop-offs included. They even offer additional stops and tours on the way to Paracas. If you prefer a more budget-friendly option, there are minibuses to Ica that provide hotel-to-hotel service. Cheaper bus companies may only go to Pisco, from where you can easily get a taxi to Paracas. PeruBus also offers trips from Ica to Paracas. If you prefer to drive, you can reach Paracas from Lima in approximately 4 hours. Flying to Pisco with the airline LC Bucre is another option, although it may not save you much time considering the airport procedures and traveling time to and from the airports. For those who prefer the convenience of taxis, you can book a taxi from the company TAXI SUDAMERIS in Lima. Make sure to email or write to Jhoel Lara to make a reservation. The price from the airport is $140.00 dollars or S/450.00 soles, and the journey takes around 4 hours from the airport or 3 hours from other parts of Lima.
