Cusco - Getting Around
Public Transport
The complicated bus network is cheap and fast, if you can work out where it's going. Most buses are unregulated and simply chalk their destinations in the window. More useful are the large number of collectivos that run up and down Avenida Sol every couple of minutes, charging a flat fare and stopping wherever you want them to. The Tranvia (tel: (84) 224 377) is a free-rolling tourist tram service, which departs from Portal Comercio on the Plaza de Armas to conduct twice-daily, two hour hop-on, hop-off tours of central Cusco.
Taxis
It is safest to order a taxi through your hotel, so that they know who you are going with. Reliable firms include Aló Taxi (tel: (84) 222 222; website: www.alocusco.com) and Llama Taxi (tel: (84) 222 000), both of whose drivers are licensed and carry photo ID. There is a standard fare for rides within the city centre. You can also hire a taxi for a day to visit sites around Cusco, in which case you should pay the driver half the fare at the start of the service and half at the end.
