Als je wat meer tijd hebt kan je ook de bus nemen.
dan moet je wel even door de bergen.

Flying between Cusco and Lima takes about one hour and is by far the easiest way to travel. Basically the high mountainous Andes lie directly between these two cities so you either fly over them or take a long winding detour around them. The bus route is usually southwards towards Lake Titicaca then westwards towards Arequipa. You then follow the Pan-American highway northwards via Nasca and Pisco to Lima. This is a good option if you have plenty of days to break up the journey by possibly visiting the Lake Titicaca, Arequipa, Nasca and the Ballestas Islands on the way to Lima. If you don't have long in Peru and you don't want to spend a day and two nights on a bus then take a flight. There is a more recent road connecting these two cities that goes westwards from Cusco to Abancay and Nasca and then north to Lima. This route is particularly scenic and mountainous and remains in the category of 'adventure travel'.

By Plane

There are many daily flights between Cusco and Lima. All flights depart in the mornings because the weather is usually better and the pilot needs to see where he is going as he navigates a few tricky mountains after taking off from Cusco. The views out of the right hand windows are particularly good of snow-capped Salkantay about 10 minutes after take-off but you can't always decide which seat you get allocated. The flight time is about 50 minutes. If you really can't afford to miss you flight then we suggest taking one of the early flights before 09:30 since later flights often become delayed or cancelled particularly during the wet season in the highlands (January to March). Airline companies operating this route are Lan Peru www.lanperu.com, AeroContinente www.aerocontinente.com, TACA www.taca.com and TANS www.tansperu.com.pe

By Bus

Bus companies in Cusco sell tickets Cusco to Lima but you will find that most buses go to Arequipa first where you will have to take a connecting bus on to Lima. There may be very long periods between these connecting buses and you will probably have to change bus. Quite often you will find that the bus from Cusco to Arequipa travels overnight (to avoid the high temperatures during the day) arriving early in the morning. The onwards bus to Lima may also depart in the evening and arrive early in the morning in Lima, allowing you to spend all day visiting Arequipa. You can store your bags at the bus station but always take your valuables with you. Cruz del Sur operate this route but are by no means the only company or the best. Buses depart Cusco from the main bus station known as the 'Terminal Terreste' which is a 10 minute taxi ride from the main plaza. Don't try to walk. Our best advice is to take a taxi down to the bus station the day before you want to travel and book your ticket. This will also give you the opportunity to check out the buses and the various services on offer.

The more direct route from Cusco to Lima via Abancay and Nasca takes about 24 hours. It is a stunning ride with magnificent scenery but the road has many sharp and dangerous curves making it hard to recommend to all but the adventure traveller. Ten years ago this route used to be full of bandits and terrorists and tourists who made this trip usually wrote books about it afterwards! but luckily everything is quite safe now apart from the dangerous bends.
