Peru's airports serve a country where the transfer from terminal to accommodation often crosses altitude and unfamiliar city geography simultaneously. Lima's Jorge Chávez Airport is close to the city but the specific hotel districts — Miraflores, Barranco, San Isidro — are not immediately outside the terminal, and the traffic patterns between the airport and the coast road require a driver who knows them. For Cusco Airport, which sits at 3,310 metres altitude, the transfer to a specific Cusco hotel or the Sacred Valley requires altitude-aware timing and route knowledge. For connections to Aguas Calientes for Machu Picchu, a pre-arranged transfer sequence is the only approach that reliably works.
