Peru welcomed more than 1.6 million Venezuelans, the second-largest community in the world. In Lima many started from scratch and built, year by year, a complete home.

If your time to return has come, that home doesn't have to stay behind. From San Juan de Lurigancho to Miraflores, from Los Olivos to Surco: if you're organizing your return to Venezuela, you don't have to do it alone.

At JJ Marí we understand that a return move isn't just any move. It's bringing back the years you lived: the furniture that took so much to buy, the memories, the things that made Lima a piece of home. Our job is to make sure all of it travels up the Pacific with you, intact.

The Lima → Caracas route, explained clearly

How long does a move from Lima to Caracas take? The complete transit, from pickup at your home in Lima to delivery in Caracas, takes approximately 45 to 55 days by sea. We keep you informed at every step of the way.

How does your move travel? We coordinate pickup and packing at your home in Lima or inland Peru through our international network of certified agents. Your cargo ships from the Port of Callao toward the port of La Guaira, and from there our team in Venezuela takes it to your door.

Full or shared container? If you're taking a whole home, an exclusive 20 or 40 ft container is the right choice. If your volume is smaller — and on this route many families return with just the essentials — consolidated cargo (LCL) lets you share a container and reduce costs: you pay only for the cubic meters your belongings occupy. We always start with a free survey and a transparent quote, no fine print.

And Venezuelan customs? We handle customs clearance at La Guaira and guide you from day one on the current requirements for bringing in used household goods and personal effects as a returning Venezuelan. The paperwork is ours; the peace of mind, yours.

Returning to Venezuela from Peru: what's worth knowing

More and more Venezuelan families in Peru are weighing the return. If that's your case, take note:

Start with 2 to 3 months of lead time. Departures from Callao toward the Caribbean depend on shipping connections; booking early secures better dates and rates.

You don't need to fill a container to come home. With consolidated cargo you pay only for the space your things occupy. Moving back is more attainable than it seems — and a small shipment gets the same care as a large one.

Your status as a returning Venezuelan matters. Used household goods and personal effects are processed under different regimes than commercial cargo. We tell you which documents to prepare before leaving Peru.

Decide what travels and what doesn't. Part of our method is asking what matters most to you before we pack. We help you optimize volume: sometimes it's better to bring less, and better.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a move from Lima to Caracas cost?

Every move is different, like every story. The cost depends on the volume in cubic meters and the type of service (exclusive or consolidated container). The survey is free and the quote transparent: it reflects exactly what you need to move and how you want to do it.

How long does the move take?

Approximately 45 to 55 days door to door, by sea from Callao. From day one you'll be accompanied and informed.

Can I move even if I have few things?

Yes. With consolidated cargo (LCL) you pay only for the cubic meters your belongings occupy, without booking a full container. If it matters to you, it's enough for us.

How is the survey done if I'm in Lima?

By video call. You walk through your home with us, we build the estimated inventory and send you the quote. Simple and no-obligation.

What documents do I need to bring my household goods into Venezuela?

Each case has its particulars, but you don't face it alone. We tell you the required documentation as a returning Venezuelan from the start and handle every procedure with you.
