Peru is one of the most popular South American destinations for North Americans, thanks to Machu Picchu, Cusco, the Amazon and Lima's celebrated food scene. Almost all international flights land in Lima, which acts as the country's main hub for domestic connections to Cusco, Iquitos and elsewhere.

LATAM operates a major hub in Lima, and US carriers such as American, Delta and United, along with alliance and regional partners like Avianca and Copa, connect Peru with North America.
Fares are often lower in the shoulder months (roughly April–May and September–November). The dry season from about June to August is peak for Machu Picchu, and Christmas, New Year and Easter (Semana Santa) are busy travel periods.
Most international travelers arrive at Lima's Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) and connect from there to Cusco, Iquitos and other cities.
Cusco is mainly served by domestic flights from Lima, with limited international service from a few regional cities. Most North Americans connect through Lima.
Shoulder months such as April–May and September–November are often better value than the June–August peak and the Christmas and Easter holidays.
