Cusco Airport to Poroy Station transfer: the easiest way to get there
Getting from Cusco Airport to Poroy Station 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 Poroy Station 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 Poroy Station 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 Poroy Station in Cusco is like, where to stay and eat, when to travel, 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.
Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Cusco Airport to Poroy Station transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation. Your driver already knows your flight has landed - every pickup at Cusco Airport is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.
Searches for "CUZ to Poroy Station" 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 Poroy Station.
Cusco Airport to Poroy Station at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Cusco Airport to Poroy Station, door to door. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Cusco Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.
Taxi or private transfer from Cusco Airport to Poroy Station?
The airport taxi fare from Cusco Airport to Poroy Station is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Cusco Airport to Poroy Station transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.
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 Poroy Station per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Poroy Station 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 Poroy Station, 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 Poroy Station: is there a bus, train or metro?
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.
So the honest comparison for Poroy Station is this: public transport is the cheapest option for one person with a cabin bag and time to spare, and a private Cusco Airport to Poroy Station transfer is the better one for everybody else - two or more travellers, families, older relatives, anyone landing late, anyone with proper luggage. The price is per vehicle, not per person, which is why a family of four often pays less than it would on four bus or train tickets plus the taxi at the end.
About Poroy Station
Poroy railway station lies at the north-western edge of Cusco, about 18 km from Cusco Airport (CUZ) and about 12 km from the Plaza de Armas. Poroy is a small railway station on the north-western edge of Cusco, just before the road climbs towards Anta and the Sacred Valley. It is the departure point for many of the morning Machu Picchu trains, since the tracks out of central Cusco climb the hillside in switchbacks and the departure is now made from here. The station is a modest platform with a waiting area, cafe and luggage handling, and it is surrounded by farmland and the green Anta plain. Travellers coming by air usually go straight from the airport to Poroy, since the trains connect to Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu Pueblo and other stations along the Urubamba River.
Around Poroy Station the areas travellers ask us about most are Sacred Valley: Pisac and Urubamba, Ollantaytambo, Chinchero and the Maras plateau and South Valley: Tipon and Andahuaylillas. Tell us the hotel and the driver takes the best route into that part of Cusco on the day.

Where to stay in Poroy Station

Best time to travel to Poroy Station
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.

Tell us the flight number and we allow for the real conditions on the day.

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.
