Van from Cusco to Ollantaytambo

Hola.
I'm landing in Cusco at 16:10, 30.8
And would like to take a ride to Ollantaytambo the same day.
Are ther vans which go there around 17:00-18:00?
Can I take one direct from the airport or should I go cusco first?
Where in cusco I should arrive?
Or maby there are local buses or colectivos at this time?
How much it cost?
How much time the ride takes?
Thanks.

How many people in your party? The hotels in Ollantaytambo usually have contacts that can arrange private transfers, ask them about the cost. My guess with inflation it would be about $50 for a car and $80+ for a van.

It takes about 1.5 hours depending on how fast the driver goes.

You might also book with taxidatum online in advance.

There will also be regular taxis at the airport that time of day. Probably vans also.

I dont recommend public transport on arrival, with luggage,

The collectivos operate from Avenida Grau from around 6am to 6pm on a "when full" basis. Your problem could be that, arriving late in the day, there may not be enough passengers to fill the last buses. I have done that trip a number of times and would always aim to get to the collectivo station by around 5.

I am not 100% sure but I don't think there are any collectivos direct from the airport (I doubt the taxi Mafia would put up with that!)

PS I think you forgot to post a link to the bus company?
