Getting around by land: Inter-provincial buses
Inter-provincial bus service covers all destinations within the country, except for some cities located in the Amazon jungle. Different rates determine comfort level and whether it is direct service without stops or if there are stops along the route.
City transportation
It is advisable that you use the services of a taxi company (requested by phone) or those authorized by the city halls (generally yellow colored and showing the license plate number on both sides of the vehicle).
Cabs do not use meters in Peru. You must negotiate the price of the service before getting into the taxi. Tipping the cabdriver is not a common practice.
