Overview

Colombia runs the leanest setup of the Andean neighbours in Lima: one embassy office on the sixth floor of Avenida Víctor Andrés Belaúnde 340 in San Isidro that carries the consular function in-house — no separate consulate general across town, no second door to find. The official missions directory lists the consular officer inside the embassy itself, and much of the routine traffic runs digitally, through chat, video call and email on the embassy's web portal. The country's second Peruvian post tells the geographic story: a consulate in Iquitos, deep in the Amazon, covering the departments of Loreto, Amazonas and San Martín — because Colombia and Peru share a border that has no roads, where the frontier towns face each other across the Amazon river near the Leticia tripoint. Between the two governments the agenda is dense: Pacific Alliance co-founders alongside Mexico and Chile, Andean Community partners, direct flights linking Lima with Bogotá, Medellín and Cali, and trade that moves both ways across the Andes.

Visa Services

Visa questions for Colombia are handled through the embassy's consular section — enquiries run by chat, video call and email via the web portal, alongside the office hours in San Isidro. Colombia's entry-document requirements are set by its migration authority and differ by nationality and purpose; confirm your specific case through the consular section's official channels before travelling.

Consular Services

Colombian citizens in most of Peru are served directly at the embassy's consular section: documents, registrations, certificates, powers of attorney and assistance, weekdays 08:00-13:00 and 14:00-17:00, with digital service channels reducing the need to appear in person. Residents of Loreto, Amazonas and San Martín belong to the Iquitos consulate's district instead.

Service Area

The embassy's district is the Republic of Peru, with one carve-out: the departments of Loreto, Amazonas and San Martín fall under the Consulate of Colombia in Iquitos.

Appointment Information

Office hours Monday to Friday, 08:00-13:00 and 14:00-17:00, at Avenida Víctor Andrés Belaúnde 340, office 602, San Isidro. Many procedures start online: the portal offers chat, video-call and email service. Written enquiries to the embassy's email.

Special Notes

There is no separate Colombian consulate in Lima — consular matters go to the embassy itself. For the Amazon departments (Loreto, Amazonas, San Martín) the competent post is the Consulate of Colombia in Iquitos.
