Airport Information – Cusco Airport
Cusco Airport (Cuzco Velasco Astete International) was built in 1964 thanks to the intervention of US airlines who wanted a stopover dedicated to Andean tourism and business with the interior areas of Peru. Even today, American Airlines has a percentage in the ownership of the airport which, over time, has proved to be very useful for fueling mass tourism towards the Inca sites. With a single terminal and one long runway, this airport can handle 4 million travelers per year. Taxi and shuttle services are located right next to the runway.

Information about Cusco
Cusco (in Spanish Cuzco, from the ancient native word Qusqu Wanka, “the rock of the owl”) is a millenary city linked to the very ancient traditions of the Inca people. Today it is known for being the base point for excursions to the spectacular ruins of Macchu Picchu and to the most beautiful peaks of the Peruvian Andes. The indigenous architectures, and the Spanish Baroque ones, were almost completely destroyed by a violent earthquake in the 1950s, but most of it has now been rebuilt and is accessible to an ever-growing tourism. To visit, in Cusco:
- San Blas Quarter
- Cathedral of Our Lady of Assumption
