Cusco Airport to Maras and Moray transfer: the easiest way to get there

Getting from Cusco Airport to Maras and Moray should be the easy part of the journey. With a private transfer it is: you tell us your flight number and your hotel, we confirm the price of the Cusco Airport to Maras and Moray transfer on WhatsApp, and on the day a driver meets you at the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the door. No taxi rank, no ticket machines, no changing between buses with suitcases.

This page covers everything travellers ask about the Cusco Airport to Maras and Moray route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Maras and Moray is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Cusco Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.

Arriving at Cusco Airport (CUZ)

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.

A little knowledge of Cusco Airport makes the arrival calmer. Note which terminal or hall your flight uses, keep your phone charged for the WhatsApp thread, and expect the driver to be exactly where the confirmation said - by the arrivals exit with a name board, or at the airport's designated meeting point. From there it is a short walk to the car and the Cusco Airport to Maras and Moray drive begins.

Searches for "CUZ to Maras and Moray" or "CUZ airport transfer" land here for a reason: CUZ is the airport code for Cusco Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Maras and Moray.

Taxi or private transfer from Cusco Airport to Maras and Moray?

Travellers searching for "Cusco Airport to Maras and Moray taxi cost" usually find a range rather than a number, because taxi fares depend on the meter, the hour and the route. Our private transfer gives you a single fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed on WhatsApp in advance, so the cost of getting from Cusco Airport to Maras and Moray is known before you land.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Cusco Airport to Maras and Moray per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Maras and Moray involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Maras and Moray, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport from Cusco Airport to Maras and Moray: is there a bus, train or metro?

Public transport from Cusco Airport runs mainly into Cusco itself: 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. Reaching Maras and Moray from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.

Many of our guests have tried the public route into Maras and Moray once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Cusco Airport to Maras and Moray transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.

About Maras and Moray

Maras and Moray are about 55 km from Cusco Airport (CUZ), a drive of around 1 hour 15 minutes, on the high plateau above the Sacred Valley. Maras and Moray are two of the most photographed sights of the Sacred Valley plateau. The Maras salt pans are thousands of small terraced pools on a hillside above the Urubamba River, filled by a salty spring and dried in the sun into white and pink salt that families have harvested for centuries. Moray is a set of deep circular terraces, thought to have been an Inca agricultural testing ground because each level has a slightly different temperature. The two sites are a short drive apart along a scenic road, and together they make a favourite half-day trip from Cusco or Urubamba.

Things to do in Maras and Moray

Once you have checked in, Maras and Moray is worth exploring: Maras salt pans, Circular terraces of Moray, Inca agricultural experiments, Views of the Sacred Valley plateau and Half-day scenic drive. Your driver can point some of them out on the way in, and the WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out if you want to see more.

Cusco itself is within reach for a day: Ollantaytambo fortress, Maras salt pans and Moray and Rainbow Mountain - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Where to stay in Maras and Moray

Where you stay in Maras and Moray makes no difference to the price of the transfer, which is fixed for the whole vehicle. The places most travellers choose: Hotels in Urubamba, Lodges in the valley and Central Cusco - and any other address is fine too.

Wear sturdy shoes because the salt pan paths are uneven, bring sun protection, and note that entry to the salt pans is by tickets sold at the site.

Meeting your driver at Cusco Airport

Your confirmation message on WhatsApp includes the meeting arrangement for Cusco Airport - it varies by airport, between an indoor meeting point, a specific exit and a driver with a sign at the arrivals door - along with your driver's name and number. Flights are tracked, so a late landing simply moves the pickup; nobody leaves, and the price does not change.

Waiting time after landing is included, and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps everyone informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Cusco Airport.

Our vehicles for the Maras and Moray transfer

For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

Child seats and booster seats are available on request - say the ages of the children when you book and we bring the right ones. Extra-large luggage, sports equipment and wheelchairs are all fine; just mention them so the right vehicle is sent.

As a guide, the sedan suits one to three people with normal suitcases, the minivan or GMC a family or group of up to seven with their luggage, and the Sprinter larger parties of up to thirteen; there is cold water in the car, phone chargers in most models, and no smoking.

Who books the Maras and Moray transfer

Who uses a private transfer from Cusco Airport to Maras and Moray? Couples who would rather not start a holiday in a taxi queue; families who need child seats and space for a pushchair; groups of six to thirteen who want to arrive together in one vehicle; business travellers with a meeting the same day; and travellers landing at night, when public transport is thin and a fixed price is worth more than ever. Every one of them books the same way - a WhatsApp message - and gets the same written confirmation.

If your trip continues beyond Maras and Moray - a day trip, a second city, a port or a return to Cusco Airport - the same desk arranges it in the same WhatsApp conversation, with the same fixed-price approach.

How to book your Maras and Moray transfer

Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Maras and Moray. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.

Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.

Good to know before you land at Cusco Airport

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.

Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Cusco Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.

Tell us in advance about anything that affects the vehicle - child seats and ages, a wheelchair, skis, golf bags, a pushchair, extra suitcases - so the right car or van is sent to Cusco Airport.

Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.

On departure day the desk suggests a pickup time from Maras and Moray based on your flight and the traffic expected at that hour, and confirms it in writing; if you would like to leave earlier for last-minute shopping or a meal near Cusco Airport, that is arranged in the same message.
