Cuzco Airport to Hiram Train Station
Posted: Thu March 9, 2006 02:44 PM UTC
Hi~
We literally have 1 day to see M.P. and are flying into Cuzco on the earliest flight which arrives at 7am. Will that give us enough time to catch the Hiram Bingham train out of Poroy? We're flying in from Lima where we'll have just gone through customs, do we need to allow time to do that again? And does anyone know how long a taxi ride is to the Poroy station from the airport?
Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi,

I think this will cut it all very close, but if you go by train, well think about it that the trainride takes 3 hours to reach aqua Calientes and that from there you need to take a shuttle bus (about 10 min) to MP.

acc. To internetsites Poroy is about 15 to 20 min from Cusco, but with a train departure of 9 am and an arriving of 7 am in the airport makes this all a very tight shedule.

Why not visit Cusco in the first day and go to MP the day after because around Cusco there are also a lot of archeological sites to fill a day.
