HOW TO REACH CASA PALOMINO SINCE ... MIRAFLORES

Obviously indications here are how to reach casa palomino by bus. If you want to reach it by taxi, just say to taxi driver takes you to "Fábrica Donofrio en la avenida Venezuela", and you will be two blocks away. Here we dont use taximeters, then you have bargain with the taxi drivers. Then, the price depends a lot on many factors as: how many people are you, what time is it, how gringo you look, etc. Since Miraflores it coud cost 12-20 soles.

Well, from Miraflores you can take any of the buses that go on Arequipa Avenue, (yes, those ones that has a guy screaming "Todo Arequipa! Todo Arequipa!" with half of his body off the bus). You can take them over Kennedy Park, on the bus stop next to Burger King. After that, you will go till the first block of Arequipa Avenue (Kennedy Park is over the 52th more less) and you will carry on this way like 100 more meters. You have to get off the bus next to Museum of Arts (Museo de Arte). Take a look at Google Maps:

Then, take a bus over 9 de Diciembre Avenue (all people know this as "Paseo Colón" but in Google Maps appears as 9 de Diciembre), direction to Plaza Bolognesi, anyone who goes to Venezuela Avenue (Avenida Venezuela). Ask the bus drivers or the guy who charge you the bus ticket, if they go to Venezuela and let you know when you arrive Donofrio (it is a factory over Avenida Venezuela, its impossible to avoid, its a big yellow building with a sign of a red sun eating ice-cream, take a look to the pictures on this blog). Then... you arrived! take a look over LOCATION post here in this website and you can walk two blocks to home. The place on Google Maps is this one:

If it is late, its a good idea to take a taxi from Museum of Art, it will cost 4-5 soles. Every bus costs 1 - 1.5 soles (it depends on what time is and on you bargaining). Good luck with the complex world of Lima´s transport system!
