- What is the best time to travel to Peru?
- For most travelers, May through September is ideal — dry season with clear skies and good trekking conditions for Machu Picchu, Cusco, and the highlands. If the Amazon is a priority, the rainy season (December–March) can be excellent for wildlife and lush rainforest.
- Do I need a visa to travel to Peru?
- Most North American, South American, and European passport holders do not need a visa for tourism stays up to 183 days. Your passport should be valid for at least six months beyond your entry date. Check with the nearest Peruvian consulate if your nationality is not on the visa-free list.
- What currency is used in Peru and how do I exchange money?
- Peru uses the Peruvian Sol (PEN). You can exchange at the airport, banks, authorized casas de cambio, or ATMs — compare rates before large exchanges. Major cities accept international cards; carry some soles for markets and smaller towns.
- How can I stay safe as a tourist in Peru?
- Keep documents and valuables secure, use registered taxis or ride apps, avoid poorly lit areas at night, and stay aware in crowded places. Book tours with a licensed operator, drink bottled water where advised, and save local emergency numbers on your phone.
- What is the best way to get around Peru?
- Domestic flights connect Lima, Cusco, Arequipa, and the Amazon quickly. Buses range from budget to luxury. In Cusco, trains reach Aguas Calientes for Machu Picchu. We include transfers on our packages — message us on WhatsApp to match transport to your itinerary.
