Cusco → Cusco Plaza de Armas: key facts

A private transfer from Cusco Airport (CUZ) to Cusco Plaza de Armas costs €20 per car for 1–3 passengers and €30 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 6 km; the drive takes about 10 min with clear roads, so plan on 10–20 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the single passenger terminal, just outside the exit from baggage reclaim, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.

The airport sits inside the city, in the Wanchaq district south-east of the historic centre, so the drive to the Plaza de Armas is only about 6 km. The usual route follows Avenida Velasco Astete and Avenida de la Cultura or Avenida El Sol through the modern part of town, past the Qorikancha, and then into the narrow streets of the colonial centre. Cusco lies at about 3,400 m above sea level, and many visitors arriving from the coast feel the altitude during the first hours.

The Plaza de Armas is framed by the Cathedral and the church of La Compania de Jesus, with arcades, restaurants and balconies on the other sides. Many streets of the historic centre are narrow, cobbled and one-way, and some lanes in San Blas and around the plaza are pedestrian or have steps, so cars stop at the nearest street they can enter. San Blas lies uphill to the north-east, the San Pedro market and San Francisco square to the south-west, and the Sacsayhuaman ruins rise above the city, a short drive away.

Public transport: No official public transport service for airport passengers is published by the airport operator; the airport lies inside the city, about 6 km from the Plaza de Armas, and the trip is made by road.
