How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Cusco?
Gross bookings per Cusco listing averaged PEN 17,602 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Cuzco average: PEN 11,118), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Cusco listing brought in PEN 3,690 in July, its best month, and PEN 1,340 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 37% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn PEN 5,010+ a month, about 3.1 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn PEN 2,880 or more, roughly PEN 1,300 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about PEN 1,590 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn PEN 815 or less, about half of the median.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Cusco Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Cusco Airbnb took in PEN 17,602 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about PEN 31,840, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about PEN 1,900 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Cusco's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Cusco listings are booked on 68% or more of their nights, against 44% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of PEN 110 adds about PEN 1,090 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge PEN 155 a night or more, against a median of PEN 110. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about PEN 1,680 a year.
- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about PEN 3,690, against PEN 1,340 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Cusco listings average 4.70 stars, and 27% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about PEN 2,650 a month, against PEN 1,470 for the average one.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Cusco
None of the 237 active listings in Cusco display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Cusco.

Top earners
Top-Earning Airbnbs and Hosts in Cusco
The top-grossing listing, a one-bedroom unit at PEN 866 a night (about 3.5 times the PEN 250 that puts a listing in the top 10% here), is left out below: a price like that usually means it covers several rooms or units, or that it is misrecorded. Leaving it out, the top earner in Cusco, a four-bedroom home, took in PEN 117,000 over the past year, about 6.7 times the city's average of PEN 17,600. Three of the six listings below have two bedrooms or fewer, so size alone doesn't explain the top of this market.

FAQ
Cusco Airbnb FAQ
How much do Airbnb hosts make in Cusco?
An active Cusco Airbnb grossed PEN 17,602 on average in the 12 months to September 2026, according to AirROI's tracking of 237 active listings. That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in PEN 2,880 or more in a typical month.
How much can I make on Airbnb in Cusco?
It depends most on the home's size, location and how it's run. The middle half of Cusco listings earn between PEN 815 and PEN 2,880 in a typical month, and the top tenth PEN 5,010 or more. For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb income calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.
What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Cusco?
Listings in Cusco were booked on 40% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 35% for the Cuzco average. June was the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Cusco?
The average booked night in Cusco cost PEN 148 before fees. Half of listings charge between PEN 79 and PEN 155, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Cusco?
None of the active Cusco listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Cusco?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Cusco Airbnb grossed PEN 17,602 in the 12 months to September 2026, 58% above the Cuzco average of PEN 11,118, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about PEN 1,900 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
