Travel Tips for your adventure in Peru

The best time to visit Peru is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. However, Peru is a beautiful country to visit year-round

A valid passport with at least six months of validity remaining is required for entry into Peru. US citizens do not need a visa to visit Peru for tourism purposes for up to 90 days. You may be asked to show evidence of onward travel (e.g., a flight ticket out of Peru) upon arrival.

The official currency of Peru is the Peruvian sol (PEN). You can exchange US dollars for Peruvian soles at banks, currency exchange bureaus, and hotels. Credit cards are widely accepted in Peru, but it is always a good idea to have some cash on hand.

Because Peru also has drastic differences in altitude, large temperature variations can be experienced within the same region, and between day and night. Therefore, it is best to be prepared for both hot and cold weather. Bringing some t-shirts, long-sleeved blouses, comfortable pants, thicker sweaters and a suitable coat is the best idea.

Many of the sacred sites of antiquity, such as Machu Picchu, and also the Inca Trails, are located in areas that vary from mild to challenging hiking terrain, so proper trekking shoes are a must for your personal safety and a pleasant travel experience. Shoes should be comfortable and have a good sole. Closed-toe shoes are best for keeping your feet warm, safe and protected, but you may enjoy a pair of sandals on city tours, especially if you are staying in the coastal regions of Peru.

One of the most common ailments for newcomers to the highlands of Peru is altitude sickness. This can range from headache, shortness of breath and fatigue to insomnia, heart palpitations.

Give yourself at least 12 hours for acclimatization (e.g., stay in the city of Cusco, which is 11,154 feet -3,400 meters- above sea level). The body will begin to adapt automatically; avoid any strenuous physical activity until you feel ready.

Avoid tobacco and alcohol, as well as stimulants such as coffee or energy drinks. Drink plenty of bottled water, staying hydrated is highly recommended. Also, coca leaf tea is a millenary Andean secret: it gives you a great mental and physical boost, it also helps digestion. Another good measure is to eat as light as possible, especially skipping fatty foods. In case you still need pills for headaches, slow digestion, etc., consult your doctor first.

Peruvian cuisine is a fusion of indigenous and Spanish influences. Some popular Peruvian dishes include ceviche, lomo saltado, and aji de gallina. Be sure to try some of Peru’s delicious fruits and vegetables, such as lucuma, chirimoya, and passion fruit.
