Rioja Travel Guide
Peru
Rioja is a small city in northern Peru, with a population of 25,057. It sits inland rather than on the coast, and is served by Juan Simons Vela Airport (RIJ).
There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Rioja, so the city is not a practical base for a beach trip. Travellers should plan their visit around the inland setting and arrange local transport after arriving.
