LIM immigration hours

I have an international flight into LIM landing around midnight, followed by a domestic to CUZ leaving at 5AM the following morning. I was hoping to take a nap for a few hours in one of the intl lounges before going through immigration. Does anyone know whether that would be possible and if immigration/customs will be open if I try to go through around 3AM or so? Thanks.

No, from an international arrival you can't access the international departures area if you don't have an international connection. You will have to go through immigration/customs first, then check-in for the domestic flight -- you could find somewhere to rest or eat before going through security. There is a lounge in the domestic departures area, CARAL VIP, but I've never used it myself.

We were in Lima last month. Immigration was open when we went through at about 2 am. We had a flight out at 5 and whiled away close to the gate. Didn't have lounge access so didn't bother to investigate.

Just in case, I had a domestic flight last week and saw that the domestic lounge opened at 3:30am (I think closing time might have been like 7 or 7:30 pm -- which makes sense as domestic flights stop in the evening).
