Brief description of Cusco City.

Cuzco, or Cusco (recent official spelling), is a city in southeastern Peru, located in the eastern slopes of the Andes, in Huatanay River Basin, a tributary of the Vilcanota. It is the capital of the department of Cuzco and also declared in the Peruvian constitution as the historical capital of the country. The city of Cuzco as the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics is the seventh largest city in Peru and in 2007 housed a population of 348,935 inhabitants. It was formerly the capital of the Inca Empire and one of the most important cities of the Viceroyalty of Peru. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1983, is often called, due to the large number of monuments which has, as the "Rome of America".

Major local airports and their distance lodging and venue.

International Airport Alejandro Velasco Astete

International Airport Teniente Alejandro Velasco Astete is located in the city of Cusco, the city's biggest tourist attraction in Peru. Receives flights from some parts of Peru and some international flights. Their tracks are fully paved. Today it continues to operate with a limited schedule of flights due to its dangerous location being in the middle of the city. Despite that the airport was used by 1,288,200 passengers in 2009, according to statistics CORPAC. This figure makes it the second most used air terminal Peru after the Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima. Currently under evaluation is also a proposal to implement nighttime visual aid to allow the takeoff and landing of aircraft at night.
