If you’re flying to Cusco for the first time, one of the first questions you’ll probably ask is how to get from Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport to your hotel.
The good news is that the airport is located very close to Cusco’s Historic Centre, making the journey quick and convenient.
Cusco Airport is located approximately 5 to 6 kilometers (3 to 4 miles) from Plaza de Armas.
Depending on traffic, the journey usually takes between 15 and 25 minutes. During peak hours, especially in the morning and late afternoon, travel times can be a little longer due to traffic in the city.
If your accommodation is in San Blas, Wanchaq, or other nearby neighborhoods, the travel time is generally similar.
Taxi prices can vary depending on the time of day, demand, and your negotiation skills.
As a general guide, you can expect to pay:
Most taxis at the airport do not use a meter, so it’s recommended to agree on the fare before starting your journey.
Ride-hailing apps are available in Cusco, but they may not always be able to pick up passengers directly outside the airport terminal. Availability can also vary depending on the time of day.
Many travelers still choose taxis or pre-arranged airport transfers for a smoother arrival.
After a long flight, the last thing most travelers want is to negotiate taxi fares or search for transportation in an unfamiliar city.
