Cusco travel tips

Discover the Allure of the Ancient City

Nestled high in the Peruvian Andes, Cusco isn't just a city; it's a living museum that whispers tales of the Inca Empire with every cobblestone. Imagine starting your adventure amidst breathtaking landscapes that encapsulate thousands of years of history. Cusco transcends mere tourism; when Kiwi travelers decide to book flights here, they're choosing to immerse themselves in a vibrant tapestry of culture and heritage.

Whether you’re wandering through narrow streets echoing with centuries-old rituals or savoring the rich harmony of Andean flavors, Cusco promises an enchanting escape packed with mystical allure.

First Steps: Where to Go Right After Landing

Upon touching down at Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport, begin your Cusco sojourn with a stroll through San Blas, a charming district teeming with artisan shops and colonial architecture. For a glimpse into the heart of Inca ingenuity, head to Coricancha, the Sun Temple—a short ride from the airport.

Kiwi.com makes reaching the city center and beyond seamless, perfect for swiftly transforming your flight plans into unforgettable explorations. With conveniently timed flights, stepping into Cusco’s vibrant streets feels as natural as its ancient air.

Ideal Times to Fly: Find Your Best Deal

Finding cheap flights to Cusco doesn’t have to be a mystery. For budget travelers, the shoulder months of April or September serve a delightful combination of pleasant weather and thinner crowds. Booking 4–6 weeks in advance can ensure significant savings, particularly when leveraging Kiwi’s advanced price filters.

Direct flights from major hubs like Lima or Miami run regularly, offering smart layover options or quick connections. Set up a Kiwi Price Alert to catch those elusive deals ensuring your journey starts on the right financial foot.

Navigating Cusco’s Airports

Cusco is primarily served by one major airport, Alejandro Velasco Astete International, located a mere 20 minutes from the city center. Here, travelers can choose between budget options like Viva Air and full-service carriers such as LATAM.

Navigating public transport is straightforward; taxis and shuttle buses frequently ferry visitors to nearby accommodations and city sights. Take advantage of Kiwi's Travel Hacks to ensure flexibility and savings, whether you're eyeing the core city or hidden rural getaways.

Smart Travel Tips

  • Acclimatize Gradually: Allow time for altitude adjustment by spending your first day sipping on a soothing coca tea.
  • Leverage Multi-City Flights: Use the Nomad Search Tool to seamlessly combine Cusco with other Peruvian wonders like Machu Picchu or Arequipa.
  • Explore on Foot: Cusco’s historic center is best discovered without wheels. Pack comfortable shoes for enchanting walks.
  • Book Train Tickets Ahead: Whether it's the journey to Machu Picchu or the scenic route itself, early booking is recommended.
  • Keep Insurance Handy: Activate the Kiwi Guarantee for peace of mind against any travel disruptions.
