Lima to Cusco travel costs?
I’m wondering if it’s better to buy a package from a travel agent in Lima to travel from Lima to Cusco and go to Machu Picchu.
Does anyone know the average airfare from Lima to Cusco, a night’s hotel stay and the cost of the train ticket from Cusco to MP?
Is it better to purchase these on my own or buy a package?
Costs for airfare to Cuzco are up recently as the high season is about to start. Current check in LAN gives a return airfare Lima- Cuzco of 334 US dollars that’s 150 US more than just a amonth ago. (enclosing the web page from www.lan.com)
The other airline operator in that circuit, TACA, is much cheaper, shwing a 127.33 airfare for the same flight (enclosed web page obtained from www.taca.com)
The rail ticket will put you bac US$ 96 for the cheapest fare (backpacker fare). Unluckily the only operator of the train is Peru Rail, so can’t find cheaper options (enclosing web page).
If you travel direclty through TACA to Cuzco from the US, you might get a better deal. As an example, a TACA fare from Miami to Lima is US$560.68, but a TACA airfare from Miami to Cuzco is US$679.06 which would be US$118.38 for the Lima Cuzco fare vs. the listed stand alone Lima-Cuzco fare of US$127.33.
Hope this helps.
