We arrived at the Cusco airport 2 hrs before our domestic flight to return back to Lima to catch our return flight to the U.S. only to learn that our flight was canceled. Initially the airline said it was due to weather conditions. They scheduled us on another flight and this one was also cancelled this time they said because of operational issues. After 3 hrs of waiting in line to figure out our next steps and speaking to a representative we rescheduled our flight from another airport 8 hrs away to hopefully make our connection back home. During this exchange we learned that the reason our flight was delayed was because of a protest. Throughout our time in Cusco we learned about a protest that the local people were holding because of transportation issues in that area. When we heard about this we were happy about the community organizing but never imagined we would be affected by it. This is definitely an experience to remember.
