About Callao

Callao is Peru's chief seaport and a constitutional province adjacent to Lima, sitting just minutes from Jorge Chavez International Airport. The area's crown jewel is the Real Felipe Fortress, an imposing 18th-century military stronghold built to defend against pirates and now serving as a military museum. The La Punta peninsula extends into the Pacific Ocean and offers a charming, almost village-like atmosphere with its seaside promenade (malecón), seafood restaurants, and views of San Lorenzo Island. In recent years, the Callao Monumental project has transformed parts of the old port district into a vibrant open-air gallery with massive murals, galleries, and creative spaces. Callao's maritime heritage runs deep, with the port handling the majority of Peru's imports and exports. Despite its gritty reputation in some areas, the tourist zones of La Punta, Real Felipe, and the monumental art district are welcoming and well worth exploring.

Travel Tips & Information

Helpful advice for your transfer

Quick Transfer

Callao is the closest district to the airport, so your transfer will be very short. Even during rush hours, the ride rarely exceeds 25 minutes. This makes it an excellent base if you have an early-morning departure flight.

Explore La Punta

The La Punta peninsula is Callao's most picturesque area, with a relaxed seaside atmosphere completely different from the rest of the city. It's worth spending an afternoon walking the malecón and enjoying fresh ceviche by the ocean.

Real Felipe Fortress

If you're interested in history, the Real Felipe Fortress offers guided tours. It's one of the largest Spanish colonial military fortifications in South America and takes about 1-2 hours to explore.

Stay Aware

While the tourist areas of La Punta, Real Felipe, and Callao Monumental are safe and welcoming, some parts of Callao can be rough. Stick to well-known areas and follow your driver's local recommendations.
