Air Canada Restarts Service to Peru; Adds Belize and More Mexico for Winter

Air Canada is strengthening its expansion in Latin America for winter 2025-2026 with the restart of service to Lima, Peru twice weekly from both Montreal and Toronto and the addition of three new routes to Central America; Montreal-Belize, Toronto-Puerto Escondido, and Vancouver-Tepic, Riviera Nayarit.

“Air Canada is further diversifying its global network this winter under its New Frontiers Strategy by capitalizing on strong leisure demand to sought-after vacation destinations in South and Central America and in Mexico’s Oaxaca and Pacific coast areas,” said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer, and President, Cargo at Air Canada.

“Our new flights are designed to provide easy connections for both Canadian and European travellers, as well as to take advantage of cargo opportunities in the region. Customers will have even more compelling choices when planning vacation travel this winter. From Peru’s rich history and archaeological ruins, the legendary Belize Barrier Reef, or Mexico’s vibrant and rapidly emerging hidden gem vacation spots, Air Canada is proud to bring new and exciting destinations for our customers to explore. We look forward to welcoming you onboard our award-winning airline soon.”

Air Canada recently announced its winter sun schedule with a strong focus on Latin America that include new destinations Rio de Janeiro, Cartagena, Guatemala City, and Guadalajara.

Peru tourism is returning to pre-COVID heights including a 29% increase in visitors in 2024. Momentum is continuing, with a 12% increase in the first quarter of 2025. Canada ranks 9th among the country’s source markets, with about 75,000 of us visiting in 2024.

Puerto Escondido sits on Oaxaca’s stunning Pacific coast and is a laid-back surf haven. Tepic, Riviera Nayarit offers a new gateway to the region that is timed perfectly with the completion of a new highway linking Tepic to Puerto Vallarta in October 2025.

The Lima, Peru flight schedule is as follows:
