Are ATMs available in Cusco, Peru?

Travel Tips
According to the site "Peru, Cusco and Surroundings", the answer is a qualified yes....

"11. Are there ATM machines in Peru? In Cusco?
There are several ATM machines in Peru . However, we do recommend you to arrive with some cash money in case the machines are out of order. Please check with you local bank about the rates they charge for withdrawing money in a foreign country."

Most of the travel sites I went to recommended contacting your bank to verify that your PIN number will work in the country you're going to.

If you're using a credit/debit card, you'll have a better shot, here are the lookup sites for MasterCard and Visa:

Mastercard ATMs - http://www.mastercard.com/atm (One Listed)
Visa ATMs - http://www.visa.com/pd/atm/main.html... (Four Listed)

Hope this helps, good luck!

When I was there just a few years ago they were available. The surprising thing was some offered local or U.S. currency.
yes there are ATMs in Cuzco. But is recommendable that u take cash better than plastic. The banks are located in Av. del Sol that is 3 block away from the main plaza and the banks are in that avenue.
Outside the bank you can find an ATM. The last time i went I used one from the BCP bank is the orange and blue one.
GOOD LUCK

Yes there are, carry petty cash with you, and leave your card in the safe at the Hotel, or in a safe place if there are no available.

When you got to the ATM is better to go during the day, being cautious is always better.

Most places (if not every place) accept US Dollars Bills, so unless you need small amounts (to pay bus fare, etc) you will be fine to pay with Dollars, they will give you change in their currency.

Note there are several money exchange rates, and is safer to exchange at a bank or to receive their currency as change. Ask what is the going exchange rate a good rate is S/.3.31 for $1USD
