Getting around CUZ

CUZ sits at 3,310 metres of elevation, and it is run by the Peruvian state — CORPAC S.A., not a private concessionaire — which the operator itself calls "the gateway to the country’s main tourist destination". A single two-storey terminal and a single runway, 10/28, handle everything: CORPAC’s own June 2026 figures put daily traffic at more than 50 flights and 11,000 passengers, on carriers LATAM, JetSmart, Avianca and Sky. The national airport directory lists CUZ as open 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. — it is not a round-the-clock field like Lima. In 2024 the airport moved 4.2 million passengers, a 39.5% jump on the year before; CORPAC’s own 2025 statistics compendium closes the following year higher still, at 4.77 million. The building itself is mid-upgrade: a S/11.8 million refit of floors, restrooms and drainage followed the October 2023 opening of the Hanaq VIP lounge and the Tempo café-restaurant. What CORPAC does not run is a commercial "getting there" guide — there is no published train, bus operator or named taxi company, so this site does not invent one where the operator stays silent.
