How to get to Matucana from Lima

Matucana sits at Km 75 of the Carretera Central, about 2 hours from Lima by car. There is no direct public transport: you do it in two legs through Chosica, roughly 3 to 4 hours in total.

The route, step by step

  1. 1. Lima → Chosica (Echenique Park)

    Take a shared 'Lima–Chosica' colectivo or minibus (the chosicanos) from downtown Lima. About 1 hour.

    Chosicano ~S/4.50 · colectivo ~S/7 to S/10

  2. 2. Chosica → Matucana

    Buses and coasters to Matucana leave from in front of Chosica's Echenique Park, climbing up the Carretera Central.

    ~S/5 to S/6

Budget

Transport budget (one way, economy): around S/15.50.

By train (as an experience)

As an attraction (not regular transport), the Lima–Huancayo Central Railway makes a tourist stop in Matucana. The station, behind Plaza Independencia, dates from the late 1890s and its structure was brought from Holland. It runs only a few times a year: it's for the experience, not a quick way in.
