Cusco Airport Transportation

Outside the arrivals exit of the single terminal, holding a sign with your name, after baggage claim. Turn down the drivers who approach you in the hall.

Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport is inside the city, about 3.7 km (2.3 miles) from the historic center, so the ride to the Plaza de Armas is short outside rush hour.

Yes. Cusco and Cuzco are two spellings of the same city, and both mean Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport, code CUZ. Cusco is the spelling used in Peru today.

Yes. Give the full hotel name and address when you book. Some streets in the historic center and San Blas are narrow, steep or closed to cars, so your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.

Yes. We drive you to Poroy station, near Cusco, for the trains to Machu Picchu. Give us your train time when you book, so the pickup leaves a comfortable margin.

Pisac, Urubamba and the other Sacred Valley towns lie northwest of Cusco, and many travelers go straight there on arrival because the valley is lower than the city. Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Ollantaytambo is at the far end of the Sacred Valley, where most Machu Picchu trains leave. Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

No one can: Machu Picchu is not reachable by road. You take the train from Ollantaytambo or from Poroy, near Cusco, to Aguas Calientes, and then the bus up to the site. We can take you to either station.

Cusco is at about 3,400 m (11,150 ft), so take it slowly: walk at an easy pace, drink water, rest on the first day and go easy on alcohol. A driver waiting at the exit means you are not carrying bags around at altitude.

Only if you fly in directly from abroad, such as from La Paz or Santiago. Most travelers connect through Lima, clear immigration and customs there, and arrive in Cusco on a domestic flight.

Since December 2025 the airport operates from 04:00 to 02:00 daily. We track your flight, so your driver is there for early morning and late evening arrivals alike.

There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and a meeting point before you land. If someone approaches you in arrivals, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.

Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your hotel in Cusco or the Sacred Valley, and give your flight number and departure time, so the pickup is set for check-in and security.
