fullday short trip

National Terrestrial Transportation Terminal ‘Plaza Norte’.

Being a private terminal is safer than other agencies, for comfort and ease has a cafeteria, ATMs, luggage storage, wifi, so the wait will not be “boring”. This terminal is located in the Plaza Norte shopping center in the Panamericana Norte Av. Tomás Valle – Av. Túpac Amaru.

There are many companies with destination to the north of the country, but not all of them stop in Huarmey, for this reason we recommend the following transportation companies Cruz del Norte, Anita, Erick el Rojo, Anshelitus,  

The fares vary according to the companies, but we can say that the cost is approximately between S/. 30 to S/. 40. And the bad thing is that you have to pay for boarding rights.    

Buy the tickets at the respective agencies of each company.

Some of these agencies are located in: 

– Javier Prado Av. Javier Prado Este 1093 (In front of Clinica Ricardo Palma).

– AV. TOMAS VALLE 651 (IN FRONT OF SERPOST OFFICES), LIMA

– La Victoria , Paseo de la República Av. 749 

These places are usually in disarray and people are running all over the place, so we recommend you to take care of your belongings.

How many hours from Lima to Huarmey? 

Once you start the journey to Huarmey the travel time to Huarmey is approximately 04 hours, when you arrive you will get off at the Terminal Terrestre and you will be ready to enjoy your adventure in its different tourist attractions.

How to get to Tuquillo?

To get to Tuquillo beach it is necessary to take a mobility bus trip. In every corner of the main square of Huarmey you can find transportation services to Tuquillo beach. The transports are mostly minivans and the service has an average price of 3 soles.

The beaches of Huarmey are very close to the main square, so getting to Tuquillo will not take you more than 15 minutes.
