Arriving at Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ) is the start of your Peruvian adventure. However, flying into the Andes requires specific preparation regarding luggage and logistics. To ensure a seamless transition from the runway to your hotel, we have compiled the essential information for your domestic flight to Cusco.
1. Domestic Baggage Allowance in Peru
Most travelers arrive via Lima. Airlines like LATAM, JetSmart, and Sky have strict policies:
-
Carry-on: Usually limited to 10kg. Ensure your bag fits in the overhead bin to avoid extra fees at the gate.
-
Checked Luggage: Standard allowance is 23kg.
-
Pro Tip: If you are traveling with sports equipment for trekking, we offer Private Minivans with extra space for large luggage and groups of up to 6 passengers.

Cusco’s weather is unpredictable. Even if you arrive in the afternoon, temperatures drop quickly.

Layering is key: Pack a windbreaker and a warm fleece.
