Discovering Rodadero: An Archaeological Gem in Cusco

Getting There

• Public Transport

  From the main square in Cusco (Plaza de Armas), walk to the nearby Avenida del Sol. Look for a bus stop where you can catch a bus headed towards the district of San Sebastián. Make sure to board a bus that displays 'San Sebastián' on the front. The fare is typically around 1-2 soles. The ride will take approximately 15-20 minutes. Get off at the stop closest to the intersection with Avenida de la Cultura. From there, you may need to ask locals for directions to Rodadero, which is located at F2V9+86M, but it is generally known as a popular tourist area.

• Walking

  If you prefer walking, starting from Plaza de Armas, head southeast towards Calle del Medio. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with Avenida de la Cultura. Turn left and walk along Avenida de la Cultura for about 30 minutes. You will pass local shops and cafes. Keep an eye out for signs or ask locals for directions as you approach the F2V9+86M area, where Rodadero is located.

• Taxi/Collectivo

  From Plaza de Armas, you can take a taxi or a collectivo (shared taxi). For a collectivo, head to the nearby collectivo stop on Avenida del Sol. Look for one that is headed towards 'San Sebastián' or 'Rodadero'. The fare is usually around 2-3 soles. The journey will take approximately 15 minutes. Once you arrive at the drop-off point, ask the driver or locals for the exact location of Rodadero, which is at F2V9+86M.
