Plan your trip

A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
Historic Centre (Cercado de Lima) - standard business hotel
USD 45–80 / night
Labeled estimate for a standard double room per night, room only. Closest option for venues in the colonial centre; heavier traffic and quieter evenings than Miraflores.
Miraflores - upscale hotel
USD 120–180 / night
Labeled estimate for a superior room per night. Expect meeting space, gym and breakfast included; December rates can exceed this band in high season, so book early.
San Isidro - business hotel
USD 90–150 / night
Labeled estimate for a standard double room per night. Central financial district with good road access to the centre and Miraflores, quieter at night.
San Isidro - five-star or executive hotel
USD 160–240 / night
Labeled estimate for a superior room per night. Frequent choice for speakers and industry executives, with meeting rooms and airport transfer services.
Barranco - boutique hotel
USD 80–140 / night
Labeled estimate for a double room per night. Heritage neighbourhood with restaurants and nightlife; fewer large rooms and a longer commute to business districts.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
App ride-hailing (Uber, DiDi, Cabify, inDrive)
Labeled estimate for a standard car; airport pickup zones add a small surcharge. Confirm the plate and driver name in the app before getting in, and note that surge pricing applies at peak times.
Authorised airport taxi counter
Labeled estimate for a prepaid official airport taxi, more expensive than an app but useful if you have no data on arrival. Buy inside the arrivals hall, never from touts outside.
Airport Express Lima bus
Labeled estimate for the official airport shuttle serving Miraflores hotels; check the current timetable and stop list before relying on it for a late arrival.
Metro de Lima Line 1
Labeled flat-fare estimate; pay with a rechargeable Metro card, bought and topped up at station booths. Useful for predictable trunk journeys, less so for door-to-door congress travel.
Metropolitano bus rapid transit
Labeled estimate with a reloadable Metropolitano card; buses run on dedicated lanes but are very crowded in peak hours. Confirm the closest station to your hotel before using it daily.
Corredor complementario bus
Labeled estimate for the conventional corridor buses; useful for short hops between adjacent districts, harder to navigate without Spanish and a route map.
App ride-hailing short hop
Labeled estimate for a 5-15 minute trip in a standard car; the practical option for hotel-to-venue travel in the evening.
Street taxi (licensed)
Labeled estimate; agree the fare before getting in and avoid unmarked cars at night. App-based rides are easier to trace and usually safer for visitors.
Weather
December is early summer on the Peruvian coast. Lima days typically run around 24-27 C with nights near 18-20 C, high humidity and a strong chance of grey morning garúa in sea-facing districts such as Miraflores and Barranco, clearing to sunshine later in the day. Measurable rain is rare but not impossible. These are climatological bands, not a forecast: check a short-range forecast in the final week and pack light layers plus a compact umbrella.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Peru's mobile market is served by Claro, Movistar, Entel and Bitel. 4G/LTE coverage is good across Miraflores, San Isidro, Barranco and the historic centre, with 5G available in parts of Lima. A prepaid SIM can be bought with your passport at Jorge Chávez airport or in city stores, and eSIM plans bought before departure are the simplest option for a short congress trip. Hotel and cafe Wi-Fi is standard; the congress venue may run a separate network, so collect the password at the registration desk. Peru uses 220 V at 60 Hz with Type A, B and C sockets, so bring a universal adapter and check dual-voltage chargers.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language and greetings
Spanish is the working language of Lima and of the congress. Peruvians are courteous and fairly formal in first meetings: a handshake with eye contact works for both men and women, and the polite forms usted and buenos días are appreciated. English is common in hotels and among specialists, less so in taxis and shops.
Dress and congress etiquette
A medical congress in Lima is a formal professional setting: suits or smart business dress for speakers and industry teams, smart casual for delegates. Sessions tend to start close to the published time, but coffee breaks and the exhibition hall are social and unhurried, so build in time for conversations rather than trying to leave immediately.
Meals and tipping
Lunch is the main meal and often runs from 12:30 to 15:00, with dinner late by North American or European standards. Restaurants frequently add a voluntary propina of around 10 percent; check the bill before adding a tip. Taxis and ride-hailing do not expect tips, though rounding up an app fare is common.
Water, food and altitude
Lima sits at sea level, so altitude is not an issue in the capital, but tap water is generally not drunk untreated and bottled water is inexpensive and everywhere. Ceviche and street food are part of the trip for many delegates; choose busy places and be cautious on the day before a presentation if you have a sensitive stomach.
Safety and getting around at night
Miraflores, San Isidro and Barranco are the most comfortable districts for visitors, with busy streets and many restaurants. Use app-based ride-hailing after dark rather than hailing street taxis, keep phones out of sight on busy roads, and ask your hotel which blocks they recommend for an evening walk.
Weather habits and timing
Limeños dress in layers because garúa mornings can feel cool and damp before the sun breaks through. Traffic shapes the day more than the weather: the 7-9 am and 6-9 pm peaks can double a short journey, so schedule meetings and airport transfers outside those windows where possible.
Money and payments
The currency is the Peruvian sol (PEN). Cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants and the congress venue, but small shops, market stalls and some taxis still prefer cash. Withdraw soles from bank ATMs inside malls or bank branches rather than from street machines, and keep small notes for short rides.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Lima is served by Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM), and December is high season for travel to Peru, so fares and seats tighten as the congress approaches. The indicative economy round-trip samples captured for these dates show Avianca via Bogotá from around PEN 2,599 and a nonstop LATAM/Delta option around PEN 3,043 from New York JFK, including taxes and fees but excluding optional bags. Treat those as directional only: compare your own departure city, check whether a Miami, Panama City or Bogotá connection is cheaper, and book once your registration and venue district are confirmed. Add at least one buffer day before the first session for long-haul delays, and reconfirm the return leg if you plan a Cusco or Machu Picchu extension.
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Use the nearest international airport serving Lima; Metro, train or taxi links are typically available to the venue district.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near 3: Cercado de Lima: Historic Centre (Cercado de Lima) - standard business hotel; Miraflores: Miraflores - upscale hotel; San Isidro: San Isidro - business hotel.
Ride-hail: Uber, DiDi, Cabify and inDrive all operate in Lima, and ride-hailing is the default way middle-class Limeños and visitors move around Miraflores, San Isidro, Barranco and the centre. Fares are paid in the app in Peruvian soles, cars are traceable, and the airport pickup zone is signposted at LIM. Set your hotel address in Spanish, check the plate and driver name before getting in, sit in the back for solo night trips, and expect surge pricing during the 7-9 am and 6-9 pm peaks. Avoid hailing unmarked street taxis, especially after dark.
Public transit: Lima runs two rail-like systems: the elevated Metro de Lima Line 1, with a flat fare paid by a rechargeable card, and the Metropolitano bus rapid transit, with articulated buses on dedicated trunk corridors and feeder routes, also paid by card rather than cash on board. Together they cover long north-south and east-west movements cheaply, but neither reaches every hotel door, and both are extremely crowded in peak hours. Traditional combi minibuses and coasters fill the gaps on dense city routes, though they are hard for visitors to navigate without Spanish and a route map. For the congress, use the Metropolitano or Metro where a station sits close to your hotel and the venue, and fall back on app ride-hailing for the rest; buy and top up the card at a station booth on arrival day.
Parking: Parking is not part of the typical delegate journey, since most visitors to Lima use ride-hailing or the Metropolitano. If you drive or rent a car, central Lima venues and hotels normally rely on paid commercial garages rather than large free car parks, with hourly charges in Miraflores and San Isidro of roughly PEN 8-15 and day caps around PEN 40-70 as a planning estimate. Confirm with the organiser whether the confirmed congress venue has its own car park, whether exhibitor vehicles need a permit for the loading area, and what the daily delegate rate is; do not assume on-site parking without written confirmation.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: December 2026 (early summer in Lima)
Temperature: Approx. 18-27 C: nights and early mornings around 18-20 C, afternoons around 24-27 C. Climatological band for coastal Lima in December, not a forecast - check the short-range forecast before packing.
Seasonality: December falls in Lima's dry coastal summer. Measurable rain is rare, but humid grey mornings with garúa fog and fine drizzle are common in sea-facing districts such as Miraflores and Barranco, usually clearing to sunshine in the afternoon. It is also high season for domestic travel in Peru, so flights, hotels and any Cusco extension should be booked early.
Packing: Pack light layers for 18-27 C days: shirts and light trousers for sessions, a sweater or light jacket for humid evenings and air-conditioned halls, sunglasses and sunscreen for afternoon sun, and a compact umbrella for garúa drizzle. Bring comfortable walking shoes for hotel-to-venue and evening strolls, Type A/B plug adapters for Peru's 220 V supply, a refillable bottle for filtered water, and a printed copy of your registration, insurance and passport details in case your phone data fails on arrival.
Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at Congreso Peruano de Reumatología usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Confirm registration is complete and paid — Log into congress.socreuma.org.pe, check your delegate category and download the confirmation. Contact the secretariat immediately if the payment is not reflected.
Confirm the venue address and session start time — The venue and hall can change between announcement and the final programme; save the organiser's address page and note which building entrance delegates use.
Check your passport and entry conditions — Passport valid for at least six months, visa status checked against Migraciones Peru for your nationality, and proof of onward travel ready for immigration.
Book or reconfirm flights to Lima (LIM) — December is high season for travel to Peru, so lock in dates early and allow at least one buffer day before your first session for delays.
Book the hotel in the district that matches the venue — Miraflores and San Isidro are the usual delegate bases; confirm free cancellation in case the programme shifts.
Arrange airport transfer or download the ride-hailing apps you plan to use — Save your hotel address in Spanish, set up a payment card in the app, and note the official taxi counter location in the arrivals hall.
Choose your sessions and pre-congress courses — Build a shortlist from the published programme; workshops and pre-congress courses often have capped seats and separate sign-up.
Arrange travel insurance and medical cover — Check that the policy covers Peru, any pre-existing conditions and the activities you plan outside the congress.
Sort connectivity and money — Decide between roaming, an eSIM bought before departure or a prepaid Claro/Movistar/Entel/Bitel SIM bought in Lima with your passport; notify your bank of travel and carry some Peruvian soles for small purchases.
Pack for Lima's coastal summer — Light layers for 18-27 C days, a sweater for humid evenings, sunscreen and sunglasses for afternoon sun, a compact umbrella for garúa, and Type A/B plug adapters for Peru's 220 V supply.
Print or download the essentials offline — Registration confirmation, hotel voucher, flight itinerary, passport copy, insurance certificate and a screenshot of the venue map in case the congress Wi-Fi is congested.
Plan arrival-day logistics and rest — Check your flight status, set a realistic transfer time for Lima traffic, and avoid booking a late session the morning after a long-haul arrival.
Collect your badge early — Arrive 30-45 minutes before the opening session with photo ID and your registration confirmation, then locate the session rooms and the exhibition hall before the first break.
Collect your certificate and reconcile expenses — Ask at the registration desk how the certificate of attendance is issued, and keep receipts for invoices from the hotel and any on-site purchases.
