Transportation from the City Center to Cusco Airport
You can use public transport, taxi, minibus or private transfer vehicles to go to the airport, which is 6 km from Plaza de Armas Square in Cusco city center.
The most economical way to get to the airport from Cusco city center is to use the city buses. In this way, it is possible to reach Cusco Airport in 30 minutes. However, the buses drop off at the Pecsa Petrol Station just outside the airport, so they actually drop off passengers at a gas station, and it is not possible to get on the bus with very large suitcases.
Buses with no fixed timetable pass frequently, so you can stop a passerby and go to the airport. As a guarantee, it is best to take the bus from the stop at the intersection of Ayacucho and Av El Sol streets. Buses of Liebre Bus (Cream and Green), Correcaminos Bus (Blue), El Dorado and Chaska Bus go to Cusco Airport.
It takes 20 minutes to reach Cusco Airport from the city center by taxi and they charge you the entrance fee to be paid at the airport. Calling from Cabify, InDriver or Uber apps is actually a more robust option.
By entering the address of your location into the application, how much you will pay when you request a car to the airport is also clear in advance. Private transfer vehicles can sometimes be more affordable than taxis. Private transfer vehicles, which serve 24 hours a day, take reservations in advance and it is possible to board up to 4 people.
If you ask the local people for help and ask where you can get on, to get to Cusco Airport from the city center with the minibuses called Combi, you can get on a dolmuş soon. Don't forget to tell the driver that you will be getting off at the airport. Combi, which is a fast and cheap means of transportation, although not very comfortable, operates quite often.
Transportation from Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport to Santiago City Center
Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport stands out as an easy-to-reach airport with its location approximately 20 km from the city center. There are many ways to reach the city center from the airport.
The easiest of these, of course, is to take a taxi. You can take two types of taxis from the airport. One of them is the taxi called Vía Controlada, which is under the control of the airport and you can get on by paying in advance, with a fixed tariff, in order to prevent fraud, and their color is blue. Others are taxis that serve with taxi meters and their colors are yellow-black.
In addition, Cabify and Uber companies provide service in this city and their prices are close to normal taxis.
Another option is to use the airport buses. There are two companies operating from the airport to the city. One of them, Centropuerto, organizes reciprocal flights between the airport and Los Heroes Metro Station. These flights are organized every 20 minutes between 06:00 in the morning and 23:30 in the evening, every day of the week, and every hour after midnight.
Another company, TurBus, organizes reciprocal flights to Los Héroes Metro Station between 06.00 - 22.30 only on weekdays.
One of the most suitable options for this journey is the shuttles that have offices at the airport. Although this minibus service, which leaves when full but takes you to your hotel, is more expensive than the bus, it stands out as a very reasonable option as it leaves you at the door of your hotel. The journey can take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the location of the places where the dolmus passengers stay.
Although there is a metro in the city of Santiago, it is not possible to reach the airport by metro yet.
