 La Rosa Nautica by SirRichard
Miraflores is located ON TOP OF A CLIFF, so from the last houses of the seashore to the beach there is a labyrinth of stairs and passages, so it took me about 15 minutes to get to the beach.
Do, to return to the civilization I took a taxi (extremely cheap BTW).
My advice: take a taxi to go there, specially at night. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

So if you wanna take a tax, here are the fares (in 2005):
- Centre: 7.50 USD
- Miraflores, Barranco...: 10 USD
- Others: 14 USD
Ask always first to the driver if he is an official one and tell him to show you his license. Write down the plate number, just in case. I have no personal complaints about taxis in Lima but you can read scary stories about that in the forums... Leave a Comment

Abel Morante, who was my driver, drove me around and cautioned me about some dangers in Lima as well as ended up taking me to a local polloria en route to the airport, which I requested him to do. We broke bread at the "polloria" and had a fast dinner since I was trying to board a flight an hour after. His business card has this contact info:
Abel Morante
Phone#: 998225136
E-mail: abel_morante42@hotmail.com
He provides a professional and courteous service as well as works very hard. I asked him if he takes visitors outside of the city, and he said yes. I guess you can negotiate a pre-fixed price for full day tours. Do give Abel's services a try when you're in Lima. You will not regret it.

Taxis are cheap enough in Lima that it is not worth the effort to try to navigate the bus system. Taxis do not have meters and you need to negotiate a price before getting in. Other than a little bargaining ahead of time I found all the cab drivers knew how to get places and did not try to gouge more money later. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

It costs around US$10 to get from the aiport to Miraflores. It is recommended you agree a price with the taxi driver before getting in the car. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Bus in Lima by nygaston

http://www.andeantravelweb.com/peru/transport/lima.html
You can take a bus or a plane to travel in Peru, but do not go to the BUS STATION alone !
LIMA to CUSCO or AREQUIPA = 20 - 36 hours, then you can go to Lake Titicaca and Bolivia , La Paz....
Take a coat, it is cold if you go by bus !
Information from TintinPeru:
The Main bus companies in Peru are:
Cruz del Sur (www.cruzdelsur.com)
Just 2 corrections to my previous post:
the website of Cruz delSur is www.cruzdelsur.com.pe
the route from Cusco to Lima is:Cusco-Abancay-Ayacucho-Pisco (not Nasca)-Lima.
Grupo Ormeño (www.grupo-ormeno.com)
LIMA BUS STATION
=====
Lima Bus Station
There is no central bus station in Lima, each company has its own arrival and departure depot.
Be particularly careful with your valuables at any of the bus stations since there are always thieves and bag snatchers looking out for an opportunity.
The biggest and best companies with countrywide destinations are
Ormeño
Calle Carlos Zavala 177 Tel 427 5679
They also have an office at Avenida Javier Prado Este 1059 Tel 472 1710
Cruz del Sur
Quilca 531, Tel 424 0040 Leave a Comment

Bus services are cheap and mostly safe, there are a lot of Bus companies that travel everywhere, usually comfortably. Airlines are also cheap most of the year.
Public transportation is a plague, but it takes you everywhere you want without problem. There are no schedules, but you can always find a bus. Taxis are also very cheap... but remember, there are no taximeters in Peru; you negotiate the fare before the ride. Don't let the Taxi Drivers fool you, always talk to some local (friend or somebody you know) to get an Idea of usual fares and distances. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane
