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. 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. 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.
