There are airlines that operate nationally as well as various regional and charter companies.
We can sell you national intra-Peru flights, often providing this service at comparable prices since we can monitor the bookings and reconfirmation of flights to improve schedules and connections. When our passengers arrive we automatically ask for their ongoing international connection on their way out of Peru so we can reconfirm their departure flights while they visit Peru.
We can also sell you international flights since we are a IATA licensed agency since 1978. However, for this service we have to include a sales tax that increases the fare cost comparably.
Rail transport
In 1995 the state railroad which ran the railways all over Peru was privatized and a company called Peru Rail S.A. , owned by Orient Express from the United Kingdom , won the concession to operate the Arequipa - Puno, Puno - Cusco and Cusco - Machu Picchu section of the railroad.
Since then the tracks have been refurbished and there are now excellent schedules and alternatives available between mostly Cusco and Machu Picchu
Buses and vehicles
Ground transportation terminals in the big cities offer secure areas and services to connect to other Peruvian regions. In the nineties many highways were improved while others were extended so now it is possible to travel by land counting with public transportation of international standards.
Most routes that have paved highways, such as the Panamerican Highway to Nazca and Arequipa, and the road to Huaraz, have reliable scheduled bus service available. The overnight service is specially designed to include lounge seats comfortable for sleeping with TV and refreshments available. On some of our fixed departures and on longer routes we travel on these buses since they tend to be less expensive and more comfortable than minivans or small vehicles.
On group departures we provide 20-40 seat buses for tours and longer journeys. For individual or small groups we provide comfortable minivans and sometimes station wagons for short transfers and tours within a city. This is applicable to transportation and guided tours all over Peru.
