\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport sits approximately seven kilometers south of the Cusco city center. The journey between the airport and most hotels in the historic center takes approximately thirty minutes under normal traffic conditions. Our driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a sign displaying your name, helps with your luggage and takes you directly to your hotel. For departures, the driver collects you from your hotel at the agreed time and delivers you to the departure terminal with sufficient time for check-in.<\/p>

Transfer to Ollantaytambo Train Station<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ollantaytambo is the most commonly used departure point for trains to Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu. The drive from central Cusco takes approximately one hour and forty-five minutes along the road that descends from the city and follows the Sacred Valley of the Urubamba River to the station at the foot of the Ollantaytambo fortress. The early morning trains require departure from Cusco in the pre-dawn hours, typically between 04:00 and 05:30, and our drivers are accustomed to early starts. On the return, the driver waits at Ollantaytambo station and takes you back to your hotel in Cusco after you arrive from Machu Picchu.<\/p>

Journey time:<\/strong> approximately 1 hour 45 minutes each way Note:<\/strong> early morning departures available, please indicate your train time when booking<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Poroy station sits approximately fifteen kilometers northwest of central Cusco and serves the Peru Rail trains that take the longer scenic route to Aguas Calientes via the highlands above the Sacred Valley. The journey from the historic center to Poroy takes approximately thirty minutes. This station is used by the Hiram Bingham luxury train as well as some Vistadome and Expedition services. Our driver collects you from your hotel and drops you at the station entrance in time for boarding.<\/p>

Journey time:<\/strong> approximately 30 minutes each way<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Advantages of Traveling Private<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Freedom to set your own schedule<\/strong><\/span> You decide what time to depart and where to stop along the way. There are no fixed timetables, no waiting for other passengers and no rushing through sites because the shared bus is ready to leave. The driver works around your pace, not the other way around.<\/p>

Exclusive to your group<\/strong> <\/span>The vehicle is reserved entirely for you and your travel companions. Whether you are traveling as a couple, a family or a group of friends, you share the space only with the people you choose to travel with.<\/p>

Safe, professional and punctual<\/strong><\/span> Our drivers are qualified professionals with experience in tourism transport. They are evaluated regularly for safety, punctuality and service quality. All vehicles meet the safety standards required for tourist transport in Peru.<\/p>

Hotel door to destination<\/strong> <\/span>Pickup is always from the entrance of your hotel in the historic center of Cusco, or from a central meeting point if your accommodation is located outside the standard pickup zone. Drop-off is at the same hotel or any other point you request.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

How many people can travel in one vehicle?<\/strong><\/span> Our largest vehicle, the Sprinter minibus, accommodates up to seventeen passengers. For larger groups we can coordinate multiple vehicles departing together.<\/p>

Are entry tickets to archaeological sites included?<\/strong> <\/span>No. The transfer service covers transport only. Entrance tickets for any sites visited during a tour transfer can be booked separately through Inka Tickets.<\/p>

Can I stop for photos or lunch during a tour transfer?<\/strong> <\/span>Yes. At your request the driver can make stops along the route for photographs, rest or lunch. On routes with a fixed itinerary there may be less flexibility due to time constraints, but our team will advise you when booking.<\/p>

What payment methods are accepted?<\/strong><\/span> We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club and PayPal. Payment is processed securely online and your booking is confirmed immediately.<\/p>

Can I book a transfer for a route not listed here?<\/strong> <\/span>Yes. If you need transport for a specific route or service not described above, contact us by email or WhatsApp and our team will arrange it for you.<\/p>

Is it safe to travel by private vehicle in the Cusco region?<\/strong> <\/span>Yes. Our vehicles are maintained to a high standard and our drivers are trained and experienced on all the routes we cover, including the mountain roads to Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lake. We carry first aid equipment on all long-distance routes.<\/p>

Can I get to Machu Picchu by private vehicle? <\/span><\/strong>No private vehicle can access Machu Picchu itself due to the terrain and access restrictions. The private transfer takes you to Ollantaytambo or Poroy train station, from where you board the train to Aguas Calientes. From Aguas Calientes the only way up to the citadel entrance is by the Consettur shuttle bus.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
