Cusco to Mancora

Advertisement
Need to find the best way to get from one to the other. Flights? Bus routes? Etc...
15 years ago, January 12th 2009 No: 1 Msg: #59903  
We are coming up from Chile, and have figured out our general bus route idea to make it to Tacna, and then from Tacna to Cusco. From Cusco we want to head up North to Mancora, before returning to Lima for a few days and catching our flight back to Canada.
Any advice from people who have done it before?

Thanks! Reply to this

hi isabella i did it the other direction,
heres some info i picked up

useful bus companies
ormeño
cruz del sur
linea

airlines
star peru (does flights form cusco to lima for around 100 dollars give or take)

also as far as i understand you could go by bus via arequipa, nazca, ica, lima

then form lima one option is . lima - trujillo (8 hours) - cajamarca (7 hours) - chiclayo (7 hours) - mancora (5 hours)

lima-mancora direct is around 16 hours


advice
dont put your daybag in the overhead compartment. keep it on your lap.

some parts of lima are dodgy, miraflores area is quite safe though.

He www.sabuses.com is a handy site for checking out bus departure times.

What you could do by bus is the following:
Tacna - Arequipa (Arequipa and the colca canyon are defenitly worth visiting)
Arequipa - Cuzco
Cuzco - Lima
Lima - Mancora
Or do a stopover in Trujillo

saludos,
Martijn
