Lima's main port is Callao, located 15km (9 miles) west of the city. The Peru port authority, Empresa Nacional de Puertos del Perú ? ENAPU, Avenida Chalaca Guard (tel: (01) 299 210 or 429 9210), manages the port. Although it is primarily used for freight and provides no passenger facilities, Callao is occasionally used by some cruise ships. However, the days when well heeled travellers arrived from Europe or North America by ship have all but disappeared.

Boat services: Radisson Seven Seas Cruises (website: www.rssc.com) operates cruises to Lima from Los Angeles and Sydney.

Transport to the city: Connected to Lima by four highways, the city centre is approximately 30 minutes' drive from Callao. Taxis and combis are usually available.
