Getting from Cusco airport to the city center

Fastest options: taxi or private transfer. Best value: colectivo shared vans and public buses.

Cusco is served by Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ), located just 5 km southeast of the historic city center. As the gateway to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley, this airport handles significant tourist traffic year-round. Airport transfers to city center destinations are straightforward, with options including taxis, colectivos (shared minivans), private transfers, and ride-hailing services. Journey times are typically short but can vary due to Cusco's narrow colonial streets and altitude of 3,400 meters. Most travelers reach Plaza de Armas within 15 to 30 minutes depending on traffic and transport choice.
