Peru's transportation includes everything from airplanes flying sky high to motorboats floating down the river. Although Peru has countless ways of transportation throughout its country, it changes depending on your exact location. Each city has adjusted to the best practical way of transportation based on their particular environment.

Let's start off with the obvious, air transportation. If you are planning on traveling to Peru you have to book a flight to get there, if you do not already live in the country. Some airports located in Peru are the Lima, Arequipa, Cusco, and Iquitos airport. Depending where you are located currently it might be hard to find direct flights to Peru and you might have a layover in a different state or country. Some airlines that fly to Peru are JetBlue, American, United, Peruvian, etc. All of those airlines listed except for Peruvian are based in North America.

Another way of transportation in Peru is by water. Not all cities will have water transportation but Iquitos definitely does. If you decide to go visit the Amazon River, water transportation is your only option. Most water transportation companies operating there are local and most are combined with your tour guide company.

One of the most distinctive ways of transportation in Peru is by ground. Traveling by ground is the most popular even with the locals. Most airports have taxi drivers waiting for your arrival. Peru's ground transportation also consists of trains, buses, motocarros, and taxis. Taxis and motocarros prices depend on the tourist attractions and are also based locally. The buses and trains however are operated by many private companies, so it can be tricky finding the box office for your specific destination, but be aware of your surroundings and what transportation works best.
