Arequipa Getting There & Away

Getting There & Away

By plane By far the easiest way to get in to / out of Arequipa is by plane. Lan flys twice daily from around $37. By bus Several buses a day do the long trips to Cuzco (10 hours, 20 soles), Puno, Camana (3 or 4 hours, 10 soles), Pisco (10-12 hours, 30-100 soles), Nazca, Lima (cheap bus for 30 soles, takes 15 hours, more expensive buses are cheaper) and Tacna (near the border with Chile). In general, you get what you pay for with buses, but it still doesn´t hurt to ask about the quality of the bus before you buy your ticket. Some of the more reputable companies are Ormeño and Cruz del Sur. By train Daily (cold) trains travel up to Juliaca and Puno.
