The Majestic Christ the Redeemer of Cusco

Getting There

• Walking

  Start your journey from the Plaza de Armas, the main square in Cusco. Head northwest on Avenida del Sol, walking towards the San Francisco Church. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with Calle San Agustin. Turn left onto Calle San Agustin and continue until you reach the Plaza San Blas. From this plaza, take the steep path leading uphill towards the Cristo Blanco. Follow the signs that say 'Cristo Blanco' and take the steps leading up. The walk will take approximately 30-40 minutes, depending on your pace, and offers beautiful views of the city as you ascend.

• Taxi

  If you prefer a quicker option, you can take a taxi from Plaza de Armas. Simply approach a taxi stand or hail a taxi on the street. Tell the driver you want to go to 'Cristo Blanco.' The ride will take about 10-15 minutes, depending on traffic. Once you arrive, the taxi can drop you off at the entrance where you can walk up the final steps to the statue.

• Public Transport

  While there is no direct bus to Cristo Blanco, you can take a local minibus from Plaza de Armas. Look for a bus heading towards the neighborhood of San Blas or the surrounding areas. Ride the bus until you reach the last stop near the San Blas area. From there, you will need to walk uphill toward the Cristo Blanco. The bus ride will take approximately 15 minutes, and the walk will take an additional 15-20 minutes.
