Which highlights should I visit with my rental car in Lima?

Have you ever heard of the temple pyramid Huaca Pucllana? You should definitely visit it on a trip to Lima. Just drive with the rental car to the district Miraflores. Huaca Pucllana means translated "place of the holy games". The Huaca is built of clay bricks stacked on top of each other, reminiscent of a bookshelf. A visit to the Huaca Pucllana will take you back in time.

Plaza de Armas is the birthplace of Lima, Peru's capital. As probably the oldest square and centre of the old town, it is the most important sight in Lima. Since 1991, the Plaza de Armas also belongs to the UNESCO world cultural heritage. You will find the government palace of Lima here. Thus, a visit is absolutely recommendable. But you should park the rental car outside, as no cars are allowed on the place.

Which rental car is best for Lima?

Have you decided to rent a car from Lima Airport? This is a very good choice. Now all you have to do is decide which model best suits your wishes and needs in Lima. If you travel with the whole family, we recommend a minivan. Here all passengers have enough space and it won't be too cramped for your luggage. If, on the other hand, you are travelling alone or only need the rental car for city trips, then it is best to take a small car. This way you can fit into even the smallest parking space. Or do you come to Lima for a business appointment? Then a compact class or an SUV is the right choice. This way you will travel safely and impress your business partner.

Road trip: A trip by rental car through Peru

Machu Picchu, Peru

Market in Urubamba Valley

If you have already made the long journey to Peru, then of course you would like to see as much of the country as possible. The country in South America has so much more to offer than the capital Lima. Get into your rental car and embark on an adventurous journey through Peru. If you are travelling by car, you can reach all your desired destinations at your own pace and discover the highlights on your own.

Anyone who hears Peru probably first thinks of the ancient city of Machu Picchu. The mysterious city of the Incas lies in the middle of the Peruvian Andes on a mountain top. It is probably the most popular photo motif on a trip to Peru. Hike on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu and dive into the great landscapes of Peru. If you hike to Machu Picchu, you usually have a two to four day walk ahead of you. But it's worth it. With good planning and preparation as well as the right equipment, this trip will be an unforgettable adventure.

The Urubamba Valley is located north of Cusco and is the Sacred Valley of the Incas. It can be easily reached by bus or rental car. In the Urubamba Valley you can look forward to extensive fields and snow-capped mountains. The ruins and salt terraces will enchant you. Another highlight are the colourful markets of the Andean villages. Stroll through the alleys and discover all sorts of little things. If you like it a little more action-packed, you can also take a mountain bike tour.

Taquile, Peru

The island Isla Taquile is picturesquely situated in the middle of Lake Titicaca. Tourism is strictly regulated on the island. During a visit you will be accommodated in private houses instead of hotels. In that way you can experience the culture and traditions very closely. Look forward to great experiences, such as a colourful festival in July. More culture is not possible!
