Air

LATAM (www.latam.com) connects Cusco with Lima, Arequipa, Juliaca, and Puerto Maldonado. Avianca (www.avianca.com) and VivaAir (www.vivaair.com.pe) offer direct flights between Lima and Cusco, while Amaszonas (www.flyamas.com) flies direct between Cusco and Santa Cruz and La Paz, Bolivia. While LATAM is by far the most expensive for foreign travelers, it also has the most reliable service by far and the most options in travel times. You can find offices for airlines along the Avenida El Sol, but be sure you are dealing with the real thing, as many small agencies post large signs with the airline logos.

Avianca is the next most reliable and VivaAir, while the cheapest option, should be avoided.
