Convenience
Taking the bus is a more budget-friendly option compared to taking a taxi, which can make a difference if you’re travelling on a tight budget or you’re a solo traveller and can’t split the cost. Even though the low fare can be tempting, keep in mind that the bus is a less reliable option so it’s not recommended for families or less experienced travellers. An airport taxi or a pre-booked private transfer will ensure a much more convenient and stress-free experience.
Editor’s Note
Using the local buses can be a great opportunity to experience Cusco like a local if you're feeling more adventurous. If this sounds too stressful, you can opt for a taxi instead and ensure a private, comfortable ride directly to your destination.
