Search Flights from Cusco to Santiago

Whichever mean of transportation you choose, the journey from Cuzco to the airport would last short. Renting a car and taking a local minibus might be an alternative to taxis, which are most preferred.

Taxi

If you are going to take a taxi to go to the airport, you should consult the taxi stands at your hotel or city center instead of taking a taxi just on the street. This choice will result in a safer journey, which would last 10 minutes in total.

Minibus

Even though the minibuses that you can take from the city center do not directly go to the airport, you can reach the station which is very close to the airport with these minibuses. You can reach the airport in maximum 20 minutes with these.

Car Rental

Those who want to rent a car may consult can rental companies like Enterprise, Atix, Manu and Master, which have offices in the city.
