🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Yolanda Hostal (Av. Coronel Francisco Bolognesi 351) → Terminal Terrestre (Long-distance bus station)
💡 Take any 'Terminal' or '28 de Julio' micro running along Bolognesi. They're cramped and loud but only 1.50 soles. Have exact change—drivers won't break a 20. The stop is directly in front of the hostal.
Coronel Carlos Ciriani Santa Rosa International Airport (TCQ) → Yolanda Hostal (Av. Coronel Francisco Bolognesi 351)
💡 Official airport taxis cost a fixed 12 soles to central Tacna. The stand is outside arrivals; don't accept rides from touts inside the terminal, who will double the price. Pay in soles, not dollars.
Yolanda Hostal (Av. Coronel Francisco Bolognesi 351) → Tacna-Chacalluta Border Crossing (Chile)
💡 Ask the hostal reception to call a radio taxi for the border—fixed 20 soles is standard. Do not take a random street taxi for this route; they'll charge 30+ soles once you're in the car. For exit procedures, leave at least 2 hours before your intended crossing due to queues.
Yolanda Hostal (Av. Coronel Francisco Bolognesi 351) → Anywhere within central Tacna
💡 Flag down a white taxi on Bolognesi; state your destination before getting in. Short trips within the central zone should be 4-5 soles. For longer rides (e.g. to the bus terminal), negotiate to 7 soles. Avoid drivers who quote in dollars.
