Traveling from Cusco to Arequipa is part of the classic southern Peru route. If you’re planning your itinerary, you’re probably wondering:
Is it better to fly or take the bus?
In this article, we provide a clear and straightforward comparison between both options. And if you want to save money, travel comfortably, and avoid stress, here’s a tip: the night bus is the ideal choice for many travelers. Here’s why.
Traveling by Bus: Savings, Flexibility, and Experience
Choosing the night bus comes with multiple benefits:
Save the cost of a hotel night
Daily departures between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM
Comfortable options (semi-bed or 180° bed)
Travel while you sleep and arrive early
No need to go to the airport or pay for extra taxis
Enjoy views of the Andean landscape on safe, paved roads
With us, you can choose your seat, confirm your reservation in minutes, and receive personalized guidance for a 100% stress-free trip.
Traveling by Plane: Fast, but with Hidden Costs
Flying may seem faster (about a 1-hour flight), but it isn’t always the most practical:
Transfers to airports far from the city center
Arrive 2 hours before the flight
Ticket price + luggage fees + taxi fares
Less flexible schedules
Usually more expensive, especially in high season
Many travelers end up paying more and spending almost the same time on waits and transfers.
