About this venue
arena 1 is a festival venue built for large-scale concerts and multi-day programs, with an open, flexible layout that adapts easily to different productions. Its identity comes from an “event-first” approach: clearly defined zones, intuitive crowd flow, and ample space for staging, lighting, visual installations, and add-on experiences that make the show feel bigger than the performance alone.
Inside, the atmosphere is unmistakably festival-ready—powerful sound with consistent coverage, clear vantage points for following the program, and enough room to step aside and reset between sets. Visitors often appreciate the practical on-site offering, from food and drink stands to well-planned service areas that keep the experience comfortable even at peak capacity.
The venue is located at Ca. Schell 400, Lima, Peru. The easiest way to reach the entrance is via a dedicated drop-off (taxi/rideshare) or nearby parking options, with access points typically well signposted to speed up security checks.

About the city
Lima, Peru’s coastal capital, is both an energetic cultural hub and an important city destination for concerts, sports, and major public spectacles. With the pulse of a metropolis where history meets contemporary urban life, the city attracts visitors who want to experience an event while also discovering the authentic atmosphere of the Pacific coast. Add a diverse culinary scene and a wide range of accommodation—from stylish hotels to more budget-friendly options—and Lima makes trip planning easy whether you’re coming for a single show or a full weekend of activities.
One of Lima’s biggest advantages is its practical connectivity and straightforward logistics for reaching the city’s key areas. The main gateway for most travelers is Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chávez, and once you arrive, getting around is simple thanks to the primary public-transport systems. The fast bus corridor Metropolitano and Línea 1 del Metro de Lima y Callao form the backbone of mobility across the city, complemented by Corredores Complementarios and a network of local bus routes. In the city center, Estación Central on the Metropolitano is a common starting point, and by combining lines and transfers you can easily plan a smooth trip to arenas and stadiums without wasting time.
If you’re traveling for an event, Lima also delivers an excellent “bonus” before or after the program. A stroll through the Centro Histórico around Plaza Mayor offers a touch of colonial charm, while Miraflores and Barranco are known for oceanfront promenades, viewpoints, and lively streets filled with cafés. For a slower pace, there are parks and city walkways, and the Pacific view from the coastal cliffs is often the detail that turns a trip into a complete experience.
