Chinchero International Airport
Chinchero International Airport is an under construction airport in the town of Chinchero District, Cusco Region, Perú. It is planned to replace Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport. Its altitude will be 3720 metres above sea level.
The airport project is opposed by archaeologists and local activists due to its potential to destroy historic landmarks and bring additional tourist traffic that would harm Machu Picchu.
