Getting Around

🚌
Colectivo (shared minibus) from airport 1-2 soles (US$0.30-0.60)

Airport exit (main road) → Plaza de Armas (2 blocks from Hostal La Union)

20 min · Every 5-10 minutes · 6am – 8pm (daylight only)

💡 Boards outside the terminal on Av. La Cultura. Flag one down. They're cramped with luggage, fine with a small backpack. Drop at 'Plaza' – then walk up Calle Suecia.

🚕
Taxi colectivo to Ollantaytambo 10-15 soles per person (shared)

Av. Grau (colectivo stop) → Ollantaytambo (for train to Machu Picchu)

90 min · Every 20 minutes until 5pm · 6am – 5pm

💡 Faster than bus. Hail one heading west on Av. Grau (cars with 'Ollantaytambo' on windshield). They leave when full (4-5 passengers). Much cheaper than PeruRail's shuttle.

🚕
Airport Taxi 15-25 soles (US$4-7)

Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ) → Hostal La Union (Cusco city centre)

15 min · On demand · 24/7 (best to pre-book for late arrivals)

💡 Don't take touts at arrivals. Walk past the taxi sellers to the official 'Taxi Seguro' booth just outside – same price, no haggling.

🚌
City bus Cusco–Urubamba route 6-8 soles (US$1.50-2)

Av. Grau (2 blocks from Hostal La Union) → Urubamba (Sacred Valley)

90 min · Every 10-15 minutes · 5am – 6pm
