We offer transportation service to and from the airport, your best safe option, simply contact us and we will be happy to help you.
If you weren’t able to coordinate a pick-up service with us, we recommend taking an official airport taxi service. There are safe and authorized taxi modules within the airport near the baggage claim area. We do not recommend taking a city bus as they are usually overcrowded and offer very limited seating capacity, with no luggage storage options. If you decide to take an unofficial taxi, tell the taxi driver that you have a reservation at Pariwana Hostel Cusco, located at Calle Quera 270. Make sure you don't get fooled by the hostel alternatives. The taxi price shouldn’t exceed S/ 45.00 (Approx. USD 13)
