Abstract
Summary Seventy-five tourists who visited Cuzco, Peru in December 1996 were interviewed with the aim of discovering what kind of tourists are attracted to Cuzco, what attracts them, and what their perception of risks was. Cuzco tends to attract the educated elite of affluent countries of Europe and North America who tend to be long-term, low-to-medium-budget tourists interested primarily in culture and archeology. Many expressed concerns about crime (mostly theft), health, and civil unrest, and, indeed, nearly one-third had either been the victim of theft or assault (17 percent), fallen ill (11 percent), or been extorted or abused by state officials (3 percent).
