Peru Airports
PeruArriving in Peru by air, you'll likely land in one of two international airports in Lima or Cusco, but your Peru air travel experience need not end there. To reach many of Peru's more remote locations, you may need to hop on a small propeller plane!
In fact, flying in Peru may just become one of your top memories of the country. You'll be rewarded with unbeatable views before arriving on the landing strips in Iquitos and Arequipa, and the only way to see the fascinating Nazca Lines is from the sky.
The following destinations are the major airport hubs and as such are good places to base yourself before or after flying to or from the country. What's more, the hotels in these destinations are usually close to the airport and have comfy, convenient amenities.

Peru Highlights
A curated look at the best Peru has to offer. These are the destinations that consistently stand out — places with real character, great experiences, and something worth going out of your way for.
Cusco
Nestling in the dip of the Watanay River Valley, from above the city of Cusco takes the shape of a puma, which some historians theorize was a purposeful design. As the city expands, its borders creep up the sides of the surrounding mountains, but puma statues, fountains, and signs keep the big cat’s status of unofficial city mascot.
Explore DestinationLima
The coastal city of Lima is diverse, with colorful parks, friendly locals, tasty cuisine, vibrant markets, and ancient historical attractions. Travelers can tour world-class museums, wander through the colonial architecture of Miraflores, and eat seafood along the Pacific coast.
Explore DestinationPiura
The Spanish founded Piura in 1532, making it the third-oldest city in Peru. Visit downtown Piura to see the cobblestone streets and colonial buildings. Basilica Catedral de Piura and the central Plaza de Armas have classical colonial architecture, and the peaceful plaza has shady trees. See more of the town’s religious history in San Francisco Church. It has a crypt in the basement and stained glass windows.
