Our driver wouldn’t let us roll the windows down- even during the day. Apparently, robbery is a huge problem. I’d advise making sure you get a legitimate taxi while at the airport and negotiate the price before you get in. Don’t be too alarmed at the length of the taxi ride. It’s a good hour away and will cost 50-75 soles- maybe more since it’s so late.
Does the changing of the guard also occur on Sunday's. What time? Thanks AC
