| Lima | Bus to Tacna or should we fly? Posted: Sun March 30, 2008 11:56 PM UTC
Hola
We will be in Lima from 2 - 5 April and wish to travel to Tacna on the way to Arica. Purchasing locally appears to be the cheapest and it appears that a return flight to Tacna purchased in Lima might be as cheap as $160 USD. A luxury bus appears to be approximately $70 return locally. What is the best way to travel? If by bus, which is the best bus line? Any suggestions about luggage security on a bus? Gracias, Amigos |

Hi Rodolpho
MAny thanks for your suggestion about Cruz del Sur. We have seen their local and international web pages and they look very good. The local web prices seem to be much cheaper as well. Do you have a recommendation about booking a taxi to the hotel? I will be staying at the Doubletree in Miraflores at the start but cannot find an email address to contact them regarding pickup which I understand is the best idea. regards Alan

Have you tried to email to pardohot@doubletreeelpardo.com.pe?
Doubletree El Pardo is renewing its webpage, that's why most of their internet info is not available. You can try to call them to (511) 6171000, too. Cruz del Sur is the best and safest choice to go by bus. Please note that it will take about 18 hours to go from Lima to Tacna, so you can arrange your times during your stay. Enjoy your trip!

We took Cruz del Sur round trip from Lima to Ica. The bus station was very close to where we were staying in Miraflores. One other thing that hasn't been mentioned--we didn't know about the difference between the first floor and upper deck. We were on the upper deck going and on the lower on our return. The lower floor was like first class--very roomy and great seats and it was only a little more money.
Enjoy. Tom
