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.
