Airport and Arrival Information

Who will meet me at the airport? What should I do if I get delayed or miss a flight? When should I arrive?

Peru volunteers arrive at Jorge Chavez International Airport - Lima , Peru . You can expect to stay a night over in Lima and fly the following day into Cusco , Peru where you will be received by staff. The majority of International flights arrive in Lima late in the evening or at night. All Peruvian Airlines offer affordable flights to Cusco but the service is in the day time hours. It is unlikely you will be able to connect the same evening you arrive. Concierge services at the airport can arrange a taxi to an inexpensive hostel for the night. The cost should be within $25-30 total for both ride and room.

Definitely, one of our representatives will wait for you at the airport in Cusco . Please make sure of this by taking care to send your flight information to our offices, a follow up call is suggested near your departure date.

If you get delayed or miss your flight, please call our office or coordinator (contact numbers are available in plac em ent sheets and pre-departure booklet) and wait for him. If again you get lost, go to the contact hotel using a secured Taxi service, these cars are thus marked. Please do not use outside taxis until you are more familiar with the area -contact telephone numbers and addresses of our hostel and contact hotel are available in the plac em ent sheets and pre-departure booklet. Once you meet our representative or coordinator, you will be transferred to our offices and on to your host family. You will meet staff and fellow volunteers there.

Volunteers coming to Peru are advised to arrive one day before their program start date. The program fee will cover expenses beginning of the first day of the program (Usually first or third Monday) to the last day of the program. If you arrive before the first day of the program and/or stay beyond the last day of the program, expenses will be the responsibility of the volunteer (usually $30 per day for room/food in hostel).
