How to Get to Huancayo by yourself
If you don’t want to take the pickup service, here are some other options:
How to Take the Bus to Huancayo:
- From the airport, take a “Taxi Green.”
- Tell the taxi driver to take you to the “estacion del autobus – Cruz del Sur” (or of course you can take the taxi to a hostel if you would like to spend time in Lima).
- Cruz del Sur is a bus company and its web site is www.cruzdelsur.com.pe
- The taxi ride from the airport to the bus station should take about 30 minutes and cost you around 60 soles (20 dollars)
- The Lima to Huancayo bus ride will take about 7 hours. Depending on the day and time, the cost can be between 70 and 100 soles. You can purchase your tickets at the station itself or online.
- We will pick you up at the Huancayo bus station and bring you to our homestay!
Be sure to email us to confirm your time of arrival 4-5 days before.
Taking a Plane to Huancayo:
We recommend taking the bus, but if you prefer you can take a plane from the “Jorge Chávez Airport” to Jauja, a city one hour away from Huancayo. This service only operates in the morning once a day, every day.
