Flight
Book flights to and from: Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ) in Cusco, Peru. The airport is well-connected, with frequent flights from Lima and other major cities in South America. Keep in mind that Cusco is located at an altitude of over 11,000 feet (3,400 meters), so it’s normal to feel a bit of altitude adjustment when you land. Drink plenty of water and take it easy for the first few hours to help acclimate. Tip: Get Local Currency (Soles) from an ATM in the airport: Before leaving the airport, it’s a good idea to withdraw Peruvian soles (PEN) from one of the ATMs available inside. Having cash on hand is helpful for paying for taxis, souvenirs, tips, and other small expenses, as many places may not accept cards.

If you are arriving Wednesday 9/17 or Thursday 9/18 (Attending pre-wedding events): Once you land at Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ), take a secure taxi to your hotel in Cusco. Be sure to have the name and address of your hotel handy. Arriving Friday 9/19 (Attending just the wedding): Once you land at Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ), take a secure taxi to the Sonesta Hotel Posadas del Inca Yucay. This will be about 1 hour 40 minute ride. Inside the airport, you’ll find official taxi counters where you can book a reliable and safe ride. Prices are typically fixed and reasonable, so you won’t need to negotiate fares. Be sure to have your hotel address handy to share with the driver!
