About this activity

The private transfer from your hotel in Cusco to Cachora takes between 4 and 5 hours with Taxi Cusco Tours A1, the usual starting point for those beginning the Choquequirao trek on their own.

Cachora is a small mountain town without ATMs, so we recommend withdrawing any cash you’ll need in Cusco before leaving. This transfer is usually scheduled early in the morning so you arrive with time to organize your gear before starting the hike.

Pickup point: your hotel lobby or entrance in Cusco
Route: from Cusco city to Cachora, with sections of mountain road
Drop-off: center of Cachora town
Approximate duration: 4–5 h

The trip includes dirt sections and sharp curves typical of the mountain road toward the Apurímac canyon; our drivers make this route regularly and know which sections require extra caution. It’s also your last chance to buy water, snacks, or any supplies before several days without access to shops.

  • Private vehicle, direct from your hotel with no unnecessary stops
  • Driver experienced on the Cusco–Cachora route
  • Space for large backpacks and trekking gear
  • Departure time coordinated with your trek start plan

This private transfer costs $118 USD. Book via WhatsApp (https://wa.link/x3961f) or call +51 900 938 460, letting us know your flight or train date and time so we can coordinate pickup. We confirm the exact time and vehicle plate number in advance.

With over a decade operating in Cusco and a 5.0/5.0 TripAdvisor rating (36 reviews, ranked #39 out of 611 transportation services in the city), we know what it means not to miss a flight, a train, or the start of a tour because of a late transfer. Our dispatch center is available 24 hours a day.

If you already have a return date from Choquequirao, take the chance to also book the return transfer from Cachora to Cusco, so you don’t have to look for transportation right after the trek.
