Each product has its own page with the details; this page is the overview of Cusco, and the WhatsApp desk turns any combination of them into one itinerary with one written price.

Getting to Cusco: the airports

Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ) is Cusco's only airport, at about 3,400 m altitude and about 5 km from the Plaza de Armas, with about 40 km to Pisac, 80 km to Ollantaytambo and 18 km to Poroy station.

Taxis and ride-hailing cars run from the airport to the centre for a short fare, and it is a quick drive for light luggage; buses and minivans reach the Sacred Valley from separate terminals, so a private car is simpler for Poroy and San Pedro stations, Ollantaytambo, Urubamba and early trailheads such as Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lake.

Where to stay in Cusco

The areas travellers ask us about most: Chinchero and the Maras plateau, South Valley: Tipon and Andahuaylillas, Plaza de Armas and the historic centre, San Blas artists' quarter, San Pedro market and station and Santa Ana and Qorikancha area.

The choice of area changes the drive from the airport and the order of a day tour, not the price of either; send the hotel name on WhatsApp and the desk plans around it.

What to see in Cusco

The places most visitors come for: Rainbow Mountain, Humantay Lake, Plaza de Armas and the cathedral, Qorikancha temple, Sacsayhuaman fortress, Machu Picchu and Pisac market and ruins.

Our day tours cover most of them with a guide and a vehicle; the pages of Machu Picchu Full-Day Group Tour by Train from Cusco, Half-Day City Tour with Sacsayhuaman and Qenqo Cusco and Rainbow Mountain Quad Bike Tour with Meals from Cusco say exactly what each includes.

What to eat in Cusco

Worth trying: lomo saltado, stir-fried beef, trout from the high lakes, choclo con queso, giant corn with cheese, cuy, roasted guinea pig and alpaca steak. Ask the driver or guide where they eat themselves; halal options and family restaurants are easy to find, and the desk suggests places near your hotel if you land late.

When to go

May to September is dry with clear skies and cold nights, and it is the busiest time; November to March is the rainy season with green landscapes and some landslide risk on mountain roads; the Inca Trail closes every February; flights into Cusco can be delayed by morning fog or wind.

Good to know before you arrive

Rest on the first day and drink water to adjust to the altitude, book Machu Picchu tickets and trains early as they sell out, confirm which train station your ticket uses (Poroy, San Pedro or Ollantaytambo), and note that the new Chinchero airport is not yet open.

Prices are fixed and confirmed on WhatsApp before you pay; the same conversation handles changes, questions and the next booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.

What can I book in Cusco with Haqqi Tours?

Day tours, attraction tickets, private airport transfers, flight tickets and train tickets, including Machu Picchu Full-Day Group Tour by Train from Cusco, Half-Day City Tour with Sacsayhuaman and Qenqo Cusco and Rainbow Mountain Quad Bike Tour with Meals from Cusco. Each has its own page, and the WhatsApp desk combines any of them into one plan with one written price.

How do I get from the airport to my hotel in Cusco?

Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ) is Cusco's only airport, at about 3,400 m altitude and about 5 km from the Plaza de Armas, with about 40 km to Pisac, 80 km to Ollantaytambo and 18 km to Poroy station. Our private transfer meets you at arrivals with a name board, tracks your flight and takes you door to door at a fixed price for the whole vehicle; the transfer pages list every route.

Is there public transport from the airport to Cusco?

Taxis and ride-hailing cars run from the airport to the centre for a short fare, and it is a quick drive for light luggage; buses and minivans reach the Sacred Valley from separate terminals, so a private car is simpler for Poroy and San Pedro stations, Ollantaytambo, Urubamba and early trailheads such as Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lake. With luggage, a family or a late flight, the private car is the simpler choice.

Which tours are available in Cusco?

Currently 12: Machu Picchu Full-Day Group Tour by Train from Cusco, Half-Day City Tour with Sacsayhuaman and Qenqo Cusco, Rainbow Mountain Quad Bike Tour with Meals from Cusco, 4-Day Trek to Machu Picchu with Accommodation from Cusco and Ausangate Seven Lakes Day Trek with Breakfast and Lunch Cusco. Each page says whether the day is private or small-group, what it includes and how long it lasts.

Are the tours private or in a group?

Both exist, and each tour page says which. A private tour has a vehicle and guide for your party alone; the desk can make most group tours private on request.

How many days do I need in Cusco?

Two to three days cover Machu Picchu, Pisac market and ruins and Ollantaytambo fortress at an easy pace; more if you add a day trip. The desk builds the day-by-day plan around your dates.

When is the best time to visit Cusco?

May to September is dry with clear skies and cold nights, and it is the busiest time; November to March is the rainy season with green landscapes and some landslide risk on mountain roads; the Inca Trail closes every February; flights into Cusco can be delayed by morning fog or wind.

Where should I stay in Cusco?

The areas guests choose most are Santa Ana and Qorikancha area, Sacred Valley: Pisac and Urubamba, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero and the Maras plateau. The airport transfer and the tours go to any of them at the same price.

How do I book?

Fill in the form on any page or message us on WhatsApp with the date, the number of travellers and the hotel. A member of our team confirms the price and the details in writing within minutes.

Are the prices fixed?

Yes - every price is agreed in writing on WhatsApp before you travel and does not change on the day.

Do the drivers and guides speak Arabic or English?

It depends on the city and the day, so we do not promise a particular language; tell us your preference and we do our best. The WhatsApp desk always works in Arabic and English.

Can I change or cancel a booking in Cusco?

Yes, in the same WhatsApp conversation. The terms depend on the product and on how close to the date the change comes; the desk states them before you pay.
