Subject: Post: First flight to Lima went fast and we spent the night near the airport in a hostel. Passing the border control we found out that Lima is one of these stupid airports that have a mandatory airport tax for exiting the airport on transfer. We would have needed to stay inside the airport and sleep somewhere on the floor or pay the $30 airport tax when re-entering the airport if we leave it.However, it doesn't seem to be enforced in any way or then they failed something. We tried to pay the tax on the airport tax desk when departuring and were told that it's not necessary. We passed the security checks and border control just fine, so I guess there is no system in place to check if the tax has actually been paid. Well, won't complain.
