How to get to Cusco?

The best option to travel to Cusco is by air, currently there are several airlines that provide air transport service Lima-Cusco, among which we can mention LATAM, VIVA AIR, SKY AIRLINE, STAR PERU. Of all of them being the most recommended LATAM, for the variety of schedules that handles.

The option of travel by land is also a good option, but you always have to look for the best options and offer adequate comfort for the trip, the journey by bus is 22 hours, now if your journey is from Puno or Arequipa if you can take this option as the trip is usually cheaper and are only 12 hours of travel approx.
