How should I plan on getting from Cusco, Peru to Puerto Maldonado, Peru?
Hi, I am planning a trip where I fly into Cusco, visit Machu Picchu, and then I want to head over to Puerto Maldonado. The airline, Lan is charging about $400 a person, though it’s only a 55 min. flight. I have had a lot of trouble finding other airlines to do it, but read that all domestic southAmerican flights are pricey. So, I’m looking into buses but am having trouble finding working websites, and buses that make that journey. Any help would be much appreciated.
Your right, domestic travel by air in SA is pricey. So go for buses.
You won’t find websites for South American bus companies but they are very affordable and reliable. I bused across Peru (South to North) for around $60 total. Just get to Cusco and the hotel or hostel will tell you where to go to catch a bus. It sounds way more daunting than it is. Good luck! And stay at Loki.
