The Private Investment Promotion Agency (PROINVERSIÓN) and the Regional Government of Cusco (GORE Cusco) signed a contract for the development of three tourist cable car projects in the Cusco region (Urubamba, Collpani Grande and Waqrapukara Cable Cars) with an estimated investment of US$110 million.

GORE Cusco will provide funding and allocate the necessary resources to PROINVERSIÓN for the implementation of the project. Aiming to offer a fresh perspective of the iconic Machu Picchu, the Collpani Grande and Machu Picchu Cable Car are in development. Valued at US$40 million, the cable car will span 3.6 km, linking the Collpani Grande community with the Inca Viscachani Astronomical Observatory — a prime viewpoint overlooking the Inca citadel.

In Urubamba, known as the Pearl of the Vilcanota, plans are underway for the Urubamba Tourist Cable Car. This project, with an estimated investment of US$35 million, will cover a distance of 3.5 km divided into two sections. The first segment will link Quespihuanca to an intermediate station located 500 meters above sea level, while the second will transport visitors from this station to the Querocancha Archaeological Site. The cable car aims to accommodate the increasing flow of tourists to Urubamba, a key hub within Cusco’s tourism network.

The Waqrapukara Cable Car project, spanning 3.8 km and requiring an estimated investment of US$35 million, is set to enhance tourism in the southern corridor of Cusco. It aims to stimulate the local economy and elevate the living standards of nearby communities. The promotion of this project, along with the other two cable car systems, reflects the joint commitment of PROINVERSIÓN, the Cusco Regional Government, the Urubamba Provincial Municipality, the Machu Picchu District Municipality, and the Acomayo Provincial Municipality to advancing the development of both Cusco and the nation as a whole.
