Overview: car trip from Puno to Cusco
Cusco is a place many tourists have on their bucket list, which is no surprise, as the city transports you back in time. While most visitors head off to the famous Machu Picchu, Cusco itself is worth exploring for its culture, ancestral roots, archaeological monuments, and fascinating nature. You will slowly discover the cityâs charm as you begin your journey from Puno to Cusco.
A car trip to Cusco guarantees an unforgettable experience as you traverse the mountainous roads and breathtaking panoramic views of the snow-capped Andes unfold. The best way to discover this region of Peru between Puno and Cusco is by booking a private car service, like Daytrip, that will give you the freedom to make stops at such mesmerizing places as Chinchero, known for the rainbows that often arch over the town, PucarĂĄ located in the Andean highlands, or Raqchi archaeological site where the famous Temple of Wiracocha can be found.
About Cusco
Cusco is not only known as the cultural capital of Peru but also as the oldest continuously inhabited city in South America. The charming city is rich in history and serves as a gateway to visiting other jewels around it, such as Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain.
A brief history of Cusco
From the 13th to 16th century, located in the Andes Mountains of Peru, Cusco was the capital of the Inca Empire, known as Tawantinsuyu. Manko Capaq was the founder of the Inca civilization and empire, and that is the beginning of the Cusco we know today. By the 15th century, it was the main center of culture, religion, politics, and architecture.
In 1533, the Spanish conquest occurred, and Francisco Pizarro gained control of Cusco. Unfortunately, the Spaniards destroyed many Incan buildings during the colonization, constructing their buildings on top, which is now a fusion of Incan and colonial architecture.
In 1780, an uprising against the conquistadors was led by TĂșpac Amaru II to protect the indigenous people who suffered through the colonization period. The event took place near Cusco and, not long after, spread throughout the whole Andean region. Although TĂșpac Amaru II was captured by the Spanish, it was an important step towards Latin Americaâs freedom. A century later, in 1821, Peru eventually gained its independence.
Today, Cusco is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and keeps attracting visitors from all over the world with its charming atmosphere and deep historical roots.
From Puno to Cusco: travel tips
Here are some handy tips to âput in your bagsâ that will not add weight to your luggage but will only elevate your experience as you travel from Puno to Cusco.
Book your accommodation in advance
Cusco is a very popular tourist destination, so make sure you book your stay in advance! You will not only save some money but also find the best accommodation in terms of the location before anyone else.
Prepare for possible altitude sickness
If you are not from Puno and are planning to first go there and then visit Cusco, be aware that both cities are located in a high-altitude area, respectively 12,556 feet and 11,152 feet (3,827 km and 3,399 m) above sea level. You might experience altitude sickness symptoms, so it is suggested to acclimate gradually, drink plenty of water, and have lighter meals. One of the most common ways to combat altitude sickness in Peru is either by chewing coca leaves or drinking coca tea.
Have some cash in your pockets
It is a good idea to bring some cash when traveling in Peru, as there are still many places that do not accept cards. Although you will most likely be able to use your card in the most touristy places, as well as at hotels and restaurants, having some Peruvian Soles on hand will make your trip more seamless and will allow you to support the local community.
How to get from Puno to Cusco
Choosing the right mode of transportation is key to a seamless Puno to Cusco transfer. Here are some of the ways that will transfer you to Cusco, according to your preferences.
From Puno to Cusco by bus
When planning your visit to Cusco, you can choose one of the bus services that operate in this area. There are both cost-effective and luxury options available:
- Cruz del Sol: The ticket price is around $16 (60 Sol), the journey takes 7 hours, and the buses depart twice a day: at 8 AM and 10 PM.
- 4M Express: If you book in advance, tickets cost around $14 (52 Sol), but the price can go up to $70 (262 Sol). This tourist bus company offers luxury services, including guided tours, reclining seats, snacks on board, air conditioning and heating, and even a satellite monitoring system. The journey typically takes 7 to 8 hours.
From Puno to Cusco by train
A train journey from Puno to Cusco will offer you a unique and luxurious experience. You can choose between two train options:
- Belmond Andean Explorer: This luxury train service is popular amongst visitors, so make sure you book in advance, as it takes you on one of the most breathtaking routes in the world! Bear in mind that it departs only on Tuesdays. You will reach the destination in one day, and the cheapest tickets cost around $3,238 (12,126 Sol).
- PeruRail Titicaca: This train service also offers a luxurious experience, although slightly less extravagant. You will reach Cusco in around 10 hours and 20 minutes, and the tickets cost around $270 (1,011 Sol).
From Puno to Cusco by private car service
Although the previous options sound quite tempting, one of the downsides is that neither the buses nor trains will make stops along the way, so you will only be able to see the mesmerizing Andes region through a window. If you want to elevate your experience and make the most out of your trip, booking a private car service, like Daytrip, might be what you are looking for.
As you approach the enchanting Cusco, your local English-speaking driver will take care of your luggage, provide insider recommendations, and ensure your comfort throughout the journey. You will reach your destination in approximately 6 hours and 30 minutes, although you will be there before the blink of an eye. The road to Cusco will take your breath away with its stunning views. Secure your seat for $111 (416 Sol).
Things to do when you get to Cusco
Cusco is a place that will take your breath away with its rich Incan heritage, stunning views, indigenous culture, and so much more. Hereâs just a small portion of the things that you can experience during your stay in this captivating city.
Explore Cuscoâs historical center
A walk through Cuscoâs cobblestoned historical center will immerse you in the cityâs fascinating history. Learn more about the ancient Inca and colonial streets, which unveil a part of its story with each step. Some of the must-see places are the San Blas neighborhood, filled with art galleries, El Coricancha, known as the most important Incan temple, and Cuscoâs Cathedral, which has deep historical significance.
Admire the city of Incas from above
Your Cusco itinerary has to include a panoramic view of the city. Some of the best viewpoints in charming Cusco are Mirador de San Cristobal, Palacio Manco Capac, and Arco de Santa Ana. Each one will surprise you with a different view of the city, so make sure you visit more than one!
Enjoy the local cuisine
Peru is famous for having one of the most delicious cuisines in the world, and the traditional food of Cusco will not disappoint. Here are some of the local delicacies that you must try while in Cusco:
- Chiri Uchu: In Quechua, it means âcold chili,â and it explains the essence of this delicacy. It consists of meat (such as guinea pig and chicken), boiled potatoes, rocoto peppers, and roasted corn.
- Chairo: A traditional Andean soup with the main ingredients being meat (lamb or beef), chuño, peas, carrots, oregano, mint, and lima beans.
- Roasted cuy or guinea pig: Although it might not be everyoneâs cup of tea, guinea pigâs meat is considered a delicacy in Cusco and other highlands of Peru.
Take a tour of Cuscoâs surroundings
While Cusco is worth a few days' stay, you can extend your trip by adding other bucket-list-worthy landmarks. Although you are probably already considering visiting Machu Picchu and the Rainbow Mountain, ensure that you book the tours in advance. Other places worth visiting are Moray and Salt Mines of Maras, the ancient ruins of Choquequirao, and the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
When is the best time to visit Cusco
Although visiting Cusco is never a bad idea, the best time to visit is during the dry season, which runs from mid-April to the end of November. With so many outdoor activities, such as visiting Machu Picchu, it is recommended to avoid any rain that could ruin the experience. During the dry season, the temperature ranges from 64°F to 68°F (18°C-20°C). Keep in mind that at night, the temperature can drop significantly to just 32°F (0°C).
If you plan your visit in the wet season, which is from November to April, be prepared for slightly warmer temperatures, around 66°F to 70°F (19°C-21°C), but expect heavy rain from December to March.

Excellente option de transfert.
âJâai utilisĂ© ce service pour un transfert de Split, en Croatie, Ă Perast, au MontĂ©nĂ©gro. Mon expĂ©rience a Ă©tĂ© exceptionnelle. Mon chauffeur, Bojan, Ă©tait serviable, informatif et a veillĂ© Ă ce que mon voyage soit confortable et agrĂ©able. Je recommande vivement ce service.â
CâĂ©tait un voyage fantastique.
âNous avons Ă©tĂ© extrĂȘmement satisfaits de la qualitĂ© du service que nous avons reçu de Day Trip. Nous avons effectuĂ© deux trajets avec Day Trip : le 31 aoĂ»t dâAthĂšnes Ă Lefkada et le 7 septembre de Lefkada Ă AthĂšnes. Les deux trajets comprenaient des arrĂȘts sur des sites pittoresques en GrĂšce. Les deux chauffeurs Ă©taient excellents et accommodants. Toutefois, nous aimerions particuliĂšrement remercier Panos Peppas, qui a Ă©tĂ© notre chauffeur de Lefkada Ă AthĂšnes. Panos a Ă©tĂ© incroyablement gentil et agrĂ©able, et a offert un service client exceptionnel, qui comprenait la gestion de tous nos bagages, la fourniture dâeaux fraĂźches tout au long du voyage, de barres protĂ©inĂ©es, de documents imprimĂ©s sur le canal de Corinthe (lâun des arrĂȘts pittoresques), la recherche et la transmission des informations sur le terminal et la porte de notre vol de retour, ainsi que la remise dâune recette de tzatziki.â
La meilleure société de transport partout
âNous adorons vraiment cette entreprise et lâavons utilisĂ©e de nombreuses fois au fil des ans pour aller dâun point A Ă un point B sans les tracas de louer une voiture nous-mĂȘmes. Des chauffeurs excellents Ă chaque fois. Efficaces et professionnels. Cela vaut chaque centime, et nous recommandons sincĂšrement Day Trip Ă tout le monde. Ses 5 Ă©toiles sont amplement mĂ©ritĂ©es.â
Excellente expérience de voyage
âNous avons voyagĂ© de Nuremberg Ă Munich dans une belle Audi. Le chauffeur est venu nous chercher Ă notre hĂŽtel exactement Ă lâheure demandĂ©e. Il nous a conduits Ă Munich avec beaucoup dâavance pour notre prochaine visite. Le chauffeur a veillĂ© Ă ce que nous soyons Ă lâaise.â
Transport sûr et à prix raisonnable
âGonzalo de Daytrip Ă©tait notre chauffeur et il Ă©tait absolument incroyable. Il a tout fait pour nous retrouver car notre service mobile ne fonctionnait pas trĂšs bien. Il a attendu patiemment notre arrivĂ©e dans le hall afin de nous conduire du Tulum Dreams Resort Ă notre autre hĂŽtel Ă CancĂșn, Ă une heure et demie de route prĂšs de lâaĂ©roport, avant notre vol de retour. Il Ă©tait poli, respectueux et aimable. Il sâest assurĂ© que nous Ă©tions Ă lâaise pendant tout le trajet. Rapide et efficace. Je recommande cette entreprise, car trouver un trajet aller simple de Tulum Ă CancĂșn nâest ni facile ni bon marchĂ©, et cette entreprise offre un excellent service Ă un bon prix. Je les rĂ©utiliserai sans aucun doute lorsque je serai dans la rĂ©gion de CancĂșn/Tulum. Merci, DayTrip et Gonzalo.â
âMarianna est venue nous chercher pour nous conduire de HĂ©raklion Ă La CanĂ©e. Le temps Ă©tait terrible et, Ă cause de cela, Marianna est arrivĂ©e avec quelques minutes de retard. Elle mâa contactĂ© pour mâen informer. Marianna vit Ă La CanĂ©e et a rendu notre trajet trĂšs intĂ©ressant en nous parlant des choses locales Ă faire et Ă voir lĂ -bas. Marianna conduit prudemment, et nous nous sommes tous sentis Ă lâaise avec sa vitesse et sa conduite sous une pluie battante. Câest une personne charmante qui parle couramment anglais. Nous recommandons vivement Daytrip, et si vous ĂȘtes Ă HĂ©raklion ou Ă La CanĂ©e, assurez-vous de demander Marianna.â
Excellent chauffeur en Ăgypte
âJ'ai utilisĂ© le service pour aller de Louxor Ă Hurghada, en Ăgypte. Ahmed H Ă©tait notre chauffeur et il Ă©tait parfait. La voiture Ă©tait neuve, propre, il avait de l'eau et des collations pour nous, et il a pris en compte nos arrĂȘts. Excellent service de sa part, je le recommande.â
Trajets confortables et sécurisés au Mexique
âNous avons utilisĂ© Daytrip pour deux trajets au Mexique, et les deux Ă©taient excellents. TrĂšs confortables, et nous sommes arrivĂ©s Ă chaque destination Ă un moment parfait. Les deux chauffeurs Ă©taient incroyables, et nous nous sommes sentis trĂšs en sĂ©curitĂ©. Lâun de nos chauffeurs, Miguel, a Ă©galement mis la meilleure musique ! Nous utiliserons certainement Daytrip lors de notre prochain voyage au Mexique.â
Un excellent moyen de voyager et de voir des sites en chemin
âNous ne savions pas Ă quoi nous attendre avec ce voyage et avons rĂ©servĂ© depuis l'Australie. Nous cherchions initialement un moyen facile de voyager de Grenade Ă Malaga. Nous avons dĂ©cidĂ© de ne pas perdre l'opportunitĂ© de voir quelque chose en plus en chemin. Miguel a certainement dĂ©passĂ© nos attentes. Son anglais Ă©tait excellent (malheureusement, nous parlons trĂšs peu espagnol), et il Ă©tait trĂšs amical et serviable. Nous avons beaucoup apprĂ©ciĂ© entendre parler des rĂ©gions que nous traversions et aussi discuter de certaines coutumes locales. Miguel nous a emmenĂ©s Ă Antequera comme prĂ©vu et s'est assurĂ© que nous puissions facilement obtenir nos billets pour les attractions sans nous sentir pressĂ©s. Nous avons Ă©tĂ© pris en charge et dĂ©posĂ©s ponctuellement et avons vraiment apprĂ©ciĂ© notre voyage. Nous espĂ©rons retourner en Espagne et pouvoir utiliser ce service Ă nouveau un jour.â
âNous avons utilisĂ© le service deux fois alors que nous Ă©tions en ThaĂŻlande. Service client extrĂȘmement rapide et efficace. Le meilleur tarif proposĂ© Ă Chiang Mai pour les voyages. Chauffeurs polis, ponctuels, professionnels et anglophones. VĂ©hicules propres et confortables. Ătant un visiteur rĂ©gulier de la ThaĂŻlande, c'Ă©tait de loin le meilleur service. TrĂšs satisfait de l'entreprise. J'espĂšre qu'elle maintiendra l'excellence du service qui nous a Ă©tĂ© rendu.â
