Cuzco is a city in Peru.

Hitching out

North-east towards Pisac and Sacred Valley

Take combi called "huerto" (1 Sol) until Tambomachay, which is about 7km out of the city. From there is pretty easy to find a ride direction north. A cheaper alternative is just climbing the road that leads to the ruins of Sacsaywaman and searching for a ride already from there.

Towards Puerto Maldonado

Near the terminal of the bus cross the railway and take a bus to hospital regional. From there you can take a bus to Urcos for 3 soles. In Urcos walk up from the police station and you will get to the road where departs Cisterna trucks for Puerto Maldonado, they will charge you 25 to 30 soles that is cheaper that the bus ride. You will travel on the roof or on the back of the truck so bring with you a sleeping bag cause in the night is quite cold.

Towards Abancay

From the Terminal at Llanlacuyoc and Av. Jorge Ochoa, take a bus to Izcuchaca. It costs S/1.50 as of August 2016 (S/2.00 on weekends). After getting off, keep walking towards the end of town. In August 2018, it took User:atopia slightly more than an hour to find a direct lift to Nasca by standing on the road next to the Primax gas station. As usual in Peru, it might be wise to inquire about money expectations before you get in.
