Hotels near Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport - CUZ, Cusco

A must visit city if you go to Peru. There are tons of hiking options outside the city, including Inka Trail, Rainbow Mountain, and the lake etc. The scenery is breathtaking and the Peruvian food is delicious at a Very reasonable price. Come and enjoy Cusco. I will be back.

Pretty touristy city. Every building is a shop, a hotel or a restaurant, basically but it's really worth it. Tons of trips/treks/activities to do around (machu picchu, salkantai and inca trails, ruins, museums, rainbow mountain, etc). The city has a good vibe and it's not too expensive (despite being touristy). Getting around was ok. Finding a friendly and trustful taxi is a must :)

Great little city to explore , it had everything a great place to explore before you head off to Machu Picchu . If you like Irish bars then Cusco has the highest 100% Irish owned bar in the world called Paddys bar ( 11156ft )

I've been to Cusco several times over the past 25 years and also lived here for longer periods and for work. It's always been a hub as there is so much to see and do in and around town. Plan a week there, and you won't be bored. It's a buzzing place, there is such an abundance to choose from (tours, trips, hikes, walks, ruins, accommodation, markets, souvenirs and of course destinations like Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail), it's almost too much. You can do parties and clubs, or enjoy the quiet places, walk the ruins up the hills in nature with stunning views of high cordilleras the beautiful Andean scenery and enjoy the peacefulness in the company of some lamas and alpacas. I found that post-Covid the locals are still struggling with the lack of tourism. Nowadays the markets are better organised and have mainly been moved to indoor facilities over the past decades, tourists often don't know about them, e.g. in Pisac, and the locals suffer from few clients and low business. The regulations around Machu Picchu are ridiculous and overpriced; while it's good some rules are in place to deal with the amount of tourism, it has taken all the joy out of visiting the ruins. There are plenty of equally great alternatives though, if you find MP too expensive, don't want to plan half a year in advance or simply don't enjoy the crowds, go to Pisac instead, walk the full hike, or Choquequirao if you want a multi-day experience. For long timei travellers: if you have time, you can easily stay here for a month exploring the Valle Sagrado, get fit in the altitude, learn about local crafts, food, culture, history, Spanish etc.. After a while, it always feels healthy to leave Cusco again. Safe travels!

It´s one of the most beatiful cities I've visited. I love the landscape view, people is very kind and it has a lot of activities to do. I stay in Cusco a very short time, but I enjoy it as much as I could. I visited San Blas viewpoint, the Church and Rainbow Mountain, but my favorite place without no doubt was Machu Picchu.

Beautiful city, travelled all the way from Dubai to Peru and Cusco was of course a must-see. We spent NYE there and of course hit all of the main attractions (including doing the inca trail!). Recommend it to any kind of traveler looking for beautiful scenery, amazing food, and loads of adventure!
