Port Callao Shuttles

An especially popular arrival point for cruise goers arriving to Peru’s vibrant city of Lima, Callao District is a simple one to get to know. Home to a unique blend of modern coastline nightlife as well as ancient prehistoric anthropological sites, cruise ships will dock along the Callao District’s few ancient forts and vibrant waterfront beaches that surround the beauty of the nearby peninsula lookouts from La Punta District. From the port’s pier-side arrival point, a quiet industrial backdrop from the city’s financial district rests, with limited public transportation. Keep things moving by having a ride ready to take the day steady, choosing between one of many private transfers that include simple sedans in search of quiet rides along the coastline, or meet-and-greet services that range from local personal drivers who can share their favorite hidden beach spots, to quick taxis who can find hip urban hotspots fast.

Discover the beauty of waterfront beaches resting along lush mountainous Peruvian foothills when the cruise ship arrives, taking the day slow with a modest tour through the Barrio Fiscal 1 (Financial District 1), close to the port. Westward rest the diverse natural and historic landmarks that make up Port Callao’s world famous La Punta District, a formidable peninsula home to just a few blocks of attractions; these include Ostolaza Park’s 24-hour paths that continue to protect shoreline at La Arenilla Beach in one direction, the other toward El Mirador’s boardwalk paths and walkway promenades perfect for watching sunset. Lighthouse lovers will also find comfort in the Hydrography Direction and Navigation Exhibit, an informational fixture of the neighborhood and a short walk from the astounding retained architecture and ancient walls of the Real Felipe Fortress. End the evening modest with dinner somewhere special, choosing between luxury tablecloth dining at Cabos Restaurant del Puerto, or partially outdoor nautical fare from El Mirador.
