CUSCO DAY TOURS FAQs
HOW TO GET TO CUSCO?
International flights to the capital city of Lima are plentiful but once there, you need to find a way to Cusco which is about 1100 km (684 miles) away. The quickest way to get to Cusco from Lima is to fly, it takes about 55 minutes. We don’t recommend traveling by bus because it takes about 24 hours, only do it if you intend to break the journey along the way, to visit other places.
Renting a car to travel from Lima to Cusco is not recommended. The roads are rough, and you could find yourself lost or face to face with one of the other dangers that come with traveling in unfamiliar territory.
