Where to go

Built mostly from white volcanic rock, the ‘white city’ has panoramic views of the majestic Andes mountains. Be sure to visit the Santa Catalina Convent, and wander its winding, atmospheric alley ways.

Ausangate Trekking

Walk in the footsteps of Peru’s ancient civilisations across ever-changing landscapes until you reach the mighty Ausugate mountain. Known as rainbow mountain due to its unusual colourful, striped clay earth.

Chachapoyas

Chachapoyas, or the ‘Warriors of the Clouds’ as they were once known, lived high up in the Andean cloud forests. Today you can discover the fascinating Kuelap fortress, famous for its circular architecture.

Choquequirao

Venture off the beaten track for a taste of the Incan Empire away from the crowds. Meaning ‘Cradle of Gold’ in Quechuan it’s thought to be an Ican religious centre.

Colca Canyon

Deeper than the Grand Canyon and home to the mighty Andean Condor. The region is steeped in ancient culture and peppered with traditional villages.

A charming, quaint city with an exceptionally rich and diverse history. Wander cobbled lanes, visit the imposing cathedral and sit back and relax on a terrace overlooking the bustling Plaza de Armas.

The world's highest navigable lake, where azure waters seem to touch the cloudless sky. Meet locals who live on reed islands and birdwatch as evening sets in, before retiring to your lakeside hotel.

Lares Trail

With high passes and incan steps to descend, the Lares trek can be challenging. However, coupled with the beauty of the Sacred Valley and the many meaningful cultural connections to be had - it’s one of our favourite routes.

Cosmopolitan Lima is the place to be for gourmet food, energetic markets, great hotels and captivating sightseeing. Pay a visit to the Larco Museum for an oasis of calm within charming, colourful gardens.

Luxury train journeys in Peru

Peru’s fleet of stylish trains are the perfect way to explore the country; from Machu Picchu and Cusco, across to the vast waters of Lake Titicaca and then onto the high Andes for Arequipa and the Colca Canyon.

Ancient Incan ruins, perched high in the cloud forest and only accessible by train or on foot. These impressive ruins give visitors a fascinating insight into the Incan Empire.

Manu Amazon Biosphere

Considered one of Latin America’s most important natural wildernesses. Crammed with over 1000 species of bird, 200 species of mammal and tens of thousands of flowering plants.

Northern Peru Amazon Cruises

Cruise down the rivers and waterways of the mighty Peruvian Amazon. Keep a lookout for pink dolphins and flocks of rawkus scarlet macaws.

Paracas and Nazca

Delve into the mystery of the Nazca lines before soaking up the natural wonders of the Ballestas Islands. Adventure on speed boat from Paracas and uncover Peru's answer to the Galapagos Islands.

Steeped in history and ancient ruins. A place for adventurers who want to hike, bike or horse ride across winding village tracks with the imposing Andes mountains all around.

Salkantay - Lodge to Lodge

An epic 7 day trek across Peru’s breathtaking landscapes; pass by glaciers, fields of otherworldly boulders shrouded in fog, lush wooded areas, intriguing archeological sites and charming traditional villages.

Home to the pristine Tambopata National Reserve, this is a wildlife lover's dream. Uncover nocturnal creatures on night time walks and visit tree top lookouts and canopy walkways.

The Inca Trail

A beautiful trail across the Andes ending at Machu Picchu’s Sun Gate, before the site has opened to the public and just as the sun rises. The mists clear and reveal the wondrous ancient ruins.

The Northern Beaches

Where the arid desert landscapes of Northern Peru meet the Pacific Ocean you’ll find a collection of chic beach hangouts and a paradise for surfers and kitesurfers.

Trujillo and Chiclayo

The impressive pre-Columbian archaeological sites in this region are not to be missed. Vast adobe complexes and ornate pyramids, tombs and several engaging museums.

Is Peru an expensive place to visit?

The cost of visiting Peru can vary depending on several factors, such as your travel preferences, accommodation choices, activities, and the duration of your stay. Overall, Peru can offer a range of options to accommodate different budgets.

In general, compared to many Western countries, Peru is considered an affordable destination. Accommodation, transportation, and food can be reasonably priced, especially if you opt for local guesthouses, public transportation, and local eateries. However, keep in mind that prices can vary between cities and regions within Peru.

Some popular tourist destinations like Machu Picchu , the Sacred Valley, and the Amazon rainforest can be more expensive due to the high demand for tours and entrance fees. It’s advisable to plan and book these activities in advance to secure the best prices and availability.

It’s worth noting that international flights to Peru can be a significant expense, but once you arrive, the cost of living within the country can be relatively affordable.

Ultimately, the cost of visiting Peru is subjective and depends on your individual travel choices and preferences. It’s recommended to research and plan your trip, set a budget, and consider the activities and destinations that align with your interests and financial situation.

Why Peru is the best country to visit?

Peru is often considered one of the best countries to visit due to its remarkable cultural, historical, and natural attractions. Here are some reasons why Peru is highly regarded as a top destination:

Rich Cultural Heritage: Peru is home to ancient civilizations such as the Incas, whose remarkable architectural feats, such as Machu Picchu , continue to inspire awe. The country also boasts numerous well-preserved archaeological sites like Cusco, the Sacred Valley , and the Nazca Lines, providing a glimpse into its captivating past.

Spectacular Landscapes: Peru offers diverse and breathtaking landscapes. From the towering peaks of the Andes Mountains to the vast expanse of the Amazon rainforest , and the coastal desert, Peru’s geography is incredibly diverse and offers a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, wildlife spotting, and exploring unique ecosystems.

Culinary Delights: Peruvian cuisine is internationally renowned and celebrated. With a fusion of indigenous, Spanish, African, and Asian influences, Peruvian dishes are a gastronomic delight. From ceviche to causa, lomo saltado to anticuchos, Peru offers a wide range of flavors and culinary experiences.

Warm Hospitality: Peruvians are known for their warm and welcoming nature. Visitors often appreciate the friendly and hospitable locals who are eager to share their culture, traditions, and local knowledge.

Vibrant Festivals: Peru is known for its colorful and lively festivals throughout the year. Events like Inti Raymi, Fiesta de la Candelaria, and Semana Santa showcase the country’s vibrant traditions, music, dance, and religious celebrations.

Adventure Opportunities: Peru is a paradise for adventure enthusiasts. You can embark on thrilling experiences like hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, exploring the Colca Canyon, sandboarding in the desert oasis of Huacachina, or kayaking through the Amazon River.

These are just a few reasons why Peru is often considered one of the best countries to visit. The combination of its rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, delicious cuisine, warm hospitality, vibrant festivals, and adventure opportunities make Peru a captivating and unforgettable destination for travelers from around the world.

What is the best season to travel in Peru?

The best season to travel in Peru depends on the specific regions and activities you plan to engage in during your visit. Peru experiences diverse climates due to its geographical variations, including the coastal desert, the Andes Mountains, and the Amazon rainforest. Here are some general guidelines for the best seasons in different parts of Peru :

Coastal Region (Lima, Paracas, Nazca): The coastal region experiences a mild climate with a desert-like environment. The summer months from December to March are typically warm, sunny, and ideal for beach activities. However, coastal areas are often covered in fog called “garúa” during the winter months from May to October.

Andes Mountains (Cusco, Machu Picchu, Arequipa): The dry season from May to September is generally considered the best time to visit the Andes. This period experiences less rainfall, clearer skies, and lower humidity. It is an ideal time for trekking, including the Inca Trail , and exploring archaeological sites such as Machu Picchu. However, temperatures can drop significantly at night, so it’s advisable to pack warm clothing.

Amazon Rainforest (Iquitos, Puerto Maldonado): The Amazon rainforest is characterized by high humidity and heavy rainfall throughout the year. The dry season from June to October is considered more favorable for jungle excursions, wildlife spotting, and exploring the rivers and trails. During this period, water levels are lower, making it easier to navigate through the rainforest.

It’s important to note that weather patterns can vary, and unexpected weather changes can occur in any season. It’s advisable to check the specific weather conditions and forecasts for the regions you plan to visit and pack accordingly. Additionally, popular tourist sites like Machu Picchu can be crowded during peak seasons , so considering shoulder seasons (April/May and September/October) might offer a good balance of favorable weather and fewer crowds.

The best season to travel to Peru depends on your personal preferences, planned activities, and the regions you wish to explore.

How many days should I spend in my Peru luxury travel?

The number of days you should spend on your luxury travel in Peru depends on the specific experiences and destinations you want to include in your itinerary. Luxury travel allows for a more indulgent and immersive experience, so it’s important to allocate sufficient time to enjoy the finer details and amenities. Here are some considerations:

Machu Picchu and Cusco : For a luxury experience in this region, it is recommended to spend at least 5-7 days. This will allow you to explore the historic city of Cusco at a relaxed pace, stay in luxury accommodations, and enjoy exclusive services such as private guided tours, gourmet dining experiences, and spa treatments. You can also include options like the luxurious Belmond Hiram Bingham train or the Salkantay Luxury Trek  for a high-end adventure.

Amazon Rainforest: To fully immerse yourself in a luxury Amazon rainforest experience, it is advisable to allocate 3-5 days. Luxury lodges in the Peruvian Amazon offer top-notch accommodations, gourmet cuisine, guided excursions with expert naturalists, and exclusive amenities like private plunge pools and spa facilities. This allows you to truly appreciate the richness of the rainforest in comfort and style.

Other Destinations: If you plan to include other luxury destinations in Peru such as Arequipa, Lake Titicaca, or the northern beaches, it is recommended to allocate a few additional days for each destination based on your specific interests and desired level of luxury. This will allow you to fully enjoy the luxurious accommodations, personalized services, and exclusive experiences offered in these areas.

It’s important to remember that luxury travel often involves a more leisurely pace, allowing for relaxation and enjoyment of the amenities provided. Additionally, private transportation and customized itineraries can be arranged to cater to your preferences.

The duration of your luxury travel in Peru is based on your preferences, available time, and budget. It is advisable to work with a reputable luxury travel provider or tour operator who can tailor an itinerary to meet your specific needs and ensure a seamless and indulgent experience throughout your time in Peru.

Traveler to traveler

Our expert team are explorers from diverse backgrounds with something in common, a passion for Peru

Grecia Fuentes

I was born in Lima and I currently live in La Paz. I studied Public Relations, but my life has always been linked to tourism where I have been working for more than 10 years. I am passionate about my country, and I believe that everyone should someday discover Peru for its great cultural, gastronomic and natural wealth. I have been lucky enough to visit most of Peru, including the Coast, Andes and Jungle! In my spare time, I love to cook and eat, but above all, I like to spend as much time as possible with my baby boy.

Silvia Rincon

Maracaibo, Venezuela

I am extremely passionate about traveling. I love Latin American landscapes, from the Caribbean beaches, to highlands of the Andes, to the magical Patagonia lands. I truly believe sustainable tourism is essential for traveling, to ensure that future generations enjoy the same landscapes we see today. I have worked in the tourism industry for over ten years. I value friendship and happiness, so you will find a friend in me. In my spare time, I love to travel, go to the beach, get some wine, meditate and read a good book.

Debbie Sutcliffe

I was born and raised in Peru and have 21 years of experience in the tourism industry. I'm passionate about traveling and being able to create memories by showcasing my country. I consider myself lucky to have traveled the world on a cruise ship for over 10 years, giving me the opportunity to explore different destinations and learn about countries' customs, food and cultures. I love to bake, barbecue, visit the beach and, of course, travel and explore new destinations. I am also a big believer that every country has its own charm, but Peru will always have a special place in my heart.

Leila Dancuart

I was born in Lima, Peru, but my mom is from Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and my dad is from Lima. I can speak fluent English, Spanish, and Portuguese! Travelling has always been my passion, and learning about different cultures and trying new experiences is my favorite thing to do. Because of this, I studied Hotel & Restaurant Management at the University of Houston. After graduating, I found an opportunity to learn more about the tourism industry while customizing & crafting trips to South America! When I'm not working, I love to visit new restaurants, coffee shops, nearby bars, spend time with family and friends, take dance lessons, and discover new music and movies. My favorite food is Nikkei, which is a fusion between Peruvian and Japanese or Peruvian-Italian cuisine. One of my favorite drinks is coffee & Pisco Sour too!

Melissa Schenk

Stuttgart, Germany

I was born and raised in Germany . I received a bachelor’s degree in Health and Tourism Management from the University of Economics and Environment Nürtingen-Geislingen in Germany. During a semester abroad in Peru I got to know various places in the country and fell in love, so I decided to move back to Lima after the pandemic.

Mikey Blount

Prague, Czech Republic

I was born in Prague to a Czech mother and an American father, growing up I often moved between the two countries, which fueled my passion for travel from a young age. While studying for a psychology degree in the UK, I used part-time work to finance my travels in Europe and Asia. However, after a two-week field trip working on housing issues in Salvador, Brazil, I became hooked on Latin American culture, food, and lifestyle.

Noelia Castro

Noelia was born in Lima, she got her bachelor’s degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management from the University of Houston. Always eager to travel the world, she consistently explored Peru including: Cusco, Ica, Piura, Pasco, Junín, La Libertad, Cajamarca, Huánuco and San Martin.

Home > Peru

Peru - Private Travel

Peru is rich with modern luxury, archaeological treasures, colorful traditions, and world-famous cuisine.

Time your visit to coincide with one of Peru’s many vibrant annual festivals, taking over city streets.

Luxury travel to Peru will see you first in Lima, the capital city, where museums and monasteries bring both Incan and Spanish history to the fore. Balance the ancient treasures with modern meandering through the neighborhoods of Miraflores and Barranco, and be sure to make time for a few of Latin America’s number-one restaurants. Nestled in the valley of the Andes, Cusco is an architectural treasure, a city that is no stranger to luxury hotels and five-star flavor. Roam the quaint city squares and the busy markets to find more than a few souvenirs of your trip. From here, visitors take the luxury train with a private guide to Aguas Calientes, hitting its soothing thermal spas before visiting the nearby ancient Incan ruins of Machu Picchu high above the Urubamba River Valley. One of the most famous archaeological sites in the world, the citadel is a misty and mystifying place. More Incan antiquities can be found on a side step to the isolated villages and colonial towns of the Sacred Valley. Also in the southern reaches of the country, the scenic Colca Canyon is a hit with hikers and birders.

When Is the Best Time to Visit?

There is no bad time to visit Machu Picchu, but some travelers may enjoy it more during certain times of year. The rainy season and dry season each have their pros and cons.

Here’s what you can expect when visiting in either of Machu Picchu’s two seasons:

Rainy Season (December Through April)

• Rainy days are common, especially in February, which is the wettest month of the year
• Morning fog that may hinder views
• Breathtakingly green vegetation
• Possible cloud cover that can lead to lower visibility, clouds typically disperse after the morning
• Lower tourism for experiencing Machu Picchu with fewer people

Dry Season (May Through November)

• Buggy atmosphere (don’t forget your insect repellant)
• Often clear skies, ideal for taking photos
• Low chance of rain
• Peak tourist season in Machu Picchu and Cusco, with June, July and August being the busiest
• Intense sun (bring sun protection)

Traveling to a country as diverse and culturally rich as Peru is an incredible experience that can leave a lasting impact on both the traveler and the destination. As tourism continues to grow, it's essential for visitors to be mindful of their actions and choices to ensure that their presence contributes positively to the local communities, environment, and culture. This article aims to provide valuable insights and guidelines on how to be a responsible tourist when exploring the enchanting landscapes and vibrant traditions of Peru. 

Respect Peruvian Culture and Traditions 

Peru boasts a remarkable cultural heritage that includes ancient civilizations like the Inca, as well as the customs and traditions of its indigenous communities. As a responsible tourist, it's crucial to respect and appreciate the local culture. This includes dressing modestly when visiting sacred sites, asking for permission before taking photos of people, and refraining from disrupting religious ceremonies. 

Support the Local Economy 

One of the most effective ways to positively impact a destination is by supporting its local economy. Prioritize staying in locally-owned accommodations, dining at local restaurants, and purchasing handmade crafts and products from local artisans and local businesses. This practice ensures that the money you spend directly benefits the communities you visit, creating a sustainable source of income for them. You will probably also  get a lower price too! 

Choose Sustainable Tour Operators 

When planning your trip to Peru, opt for tour operators such as Valencia Travel that prioritize sustainability and responsible tourism practices. Look for those that follow ethical guidelines, focus on minimizing their environmental footprint, and support local initiatives. Responsible tour operators often provide educational experiences that foster an understanding of the local culture and environment. 

Porters Rights 

If you are planning to trek along the Inca Trail to machu Picchu, select a tour operator such as Valencia Travel that values and respects the rights of porters. Ethical tour companies ensure that porters are treated fairly, paid decent wages, provided with proper equipment, and work in safe conditions. They limit the weight porters carry and prioritize porter welfare throughout the journey. 

Minimize Plastic Waste 

The issue of plastic pollution affects destinations worldwide, and Peru is no exception. Bring a reusable water bottle and a cloth bag to avoid single-use plastic items. Many hotels and restaurants in Peru are adopting eco-friendly practices, so support their efforts by using eco-friendly products and avoiding unnecessary plastic consumption. 

Conserve Natural Resources 

Peru is home to diverse ecosystems, from the Amazon rainforest to the Andes Mountains. Be conscious of your water and energy usage, especially in regions where resources might be scarce. Opt for eco-friendly activities like hiking and wildlife spotting that have minimal impact on the environment. 

Wildlife and Nature Interaction 

Peru is known for its unique wildlife, including the majestic condors and colorful Amazonian creatures. However, it's vital to maintain a respectful distance from animals and their habitats. Avoid touching, feeding, or attempting to get too close to wild animals, as this can disrupt their natural behavior and ecosystems. 

Dispose of Waste Responsibly 

Whether you're exploring the bustling streets of Lima or the remote trails of Machu Picchu, always dispose of your waste responsibly. Use designated trash bins and recycling facilities, and if none are available, carry your trash with you until you find an appropriate place to dispose of it. 

Being a responsible tourist in Peru is about making conscious choices that preserve its cultural heritage, protect its environment, and support its communities. By respecting local traditions, supporting the local economy, and choosing sustainable practices, you can leave a positive impact on this beautiful country while creating unforgettable memories for yourself. Remember that your actions as a responsible traveler in Peru can inspire others to follow suit, ensuring that Peru remains a vibrant and cherished destination for generations to come. 

Peru, has long been a magnet for travelers seeking an adventure that combines natural wonders and historical intrigue. From the awe-inspiring ruins of Machu Picchu to the lush biodiversity of the Amazon rainforest, the allure of Peru is undeniable. However, as the global movement towards eco-consciousness gains momentum, it becomes imperative for travelers to explore this remarkable country with a commitment to sustainability. From supporting indigenous artisans to responsible wildlife viewing in the Amazon, reducing plastic waste to choosing eco-friendly accommodations, this guide is your roadmap to responsible and sustainable travel in Peru. Discover how you can immerse yourself in Peru's wonders while leaving only footprints and taking away unforgettable memories and a sense of fulfillment. Join us on this journey to explore the best of Peru in a way that respects its heritage and protects its natural beauty. 

Support Local Communities 

Stay in locally-owned accommodations, eat in local restaurants, and buy handicrafts from local artisans. This helps the local economy and reduces the carbon footprint associated with large, international chains. 

Responsible Wildlife Viewing 

When visiting the Amazon rainforest or other natural areas, choose operators that follow ethical wildlife viewing guidelines. Avoid tours that engage in activities harmful to animals, such as riding them or getting too close to nesting sites. 

Respect Cultural Heritage 

Peru has a rich cultural history. When visiting archaeological sites like Machu Picchu or historic towns like Cusco, be respectful of the heritage. Do not touch or climb on ancient structures and follow the guidance of local authorities. 

Reduce Plastic Use 

 Carry a reusable water bottle and use water purification methods to reduce the need for single-use plastic bottles. Avoid using plastic bags and opt for reusable bags. 

Minimize Energy and Water Consumption 

Conserve resources by turning off lights, air conditioning, and heating when not in use. Limit your water usage and choose accommodations with water-saving initiatives. 

Look for tour operators like Valencia Travel that have sustainability initiatives, such as waste reduction, renewable energy use, and low-impact transportation options. They should also employ local guides who can provide insight into the culture and ecosystem. 

Responsible Trekking 

 If you plan on hiking along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, use the services of operators who follow Leave No Trace principles. Pack out your waste, and choose responsible tour companies with responsible camping practices. 

Public Transportation 

Use public transportation or shared transportation options when moving between cities or exploring regions. This helps reduce the carbon footprint associated with private vehicles. 

Opt for Eco-Lodges 

Choose accommodations that are certified as eco-friendly or sustainably operated. These lodges often have initiatives in place to minimize their environmental impact. 

Learn About the Local Ecosystem 

Take the opportunity to educate yourself about the local flora and fauna. Understanding the environment helps you appreciate it more and encourages its protection. 

Reduce Water Waste 

Be mindful of water consumption, especially in regions where water is scarce. Take shorter showers and reuse towels to reduce the need for frequent washing. 

Dispose of Waste Properly 

Always use designated trash and recycling bins, and do not litter. In rural areas, pack out your trash to avoid impacting local ecosystems. 

Support Conservation Efforts 

Consider donating to local conservation organizations working to protect Peru's natural and cultural treasures. Visit museums and cultural centers that contribute to preservation efforts. 

Offset Your Carbon Emissions 

 if flying when you travel to peru, consider offsetting your carbon emissions by investing in carbon offset programs. , respect wildlife and nature .

Do not disturb wildlife, and stay on designated paths in protected areas to minimize your impact on the environment. 

By following these sustainable practices, eco-friendly tourists can help preserve Peru's stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage for future generations while also supporting local communities and minimizing their environmental footprint, during your trip to Peru. Eco-friendly tourism practices not only enrich your travel experience but also ensure that the natural beauty and cultural richness of Peru are preserved for generations to come, and will allow you to savor the splendors of Peru while minimizing your environmental footprint and contributing positively to the local communities. 

Peru, a land of astonishing ecological diversity, rugged mountain ranges, and ancient civilizations, stands as a testament to the remarkable harmony between nature and culture. From the Amazon rainforest to the majestic Andes and the mysterious Nazca Lines etched in the arid desert, Peru's landscapes hold an exceptional beauty that has captured the world's imagination. Yet, beneath this enchanting facade lies a delicate balance that requires our vigilant care and environmental consciousness. Environmental awareness is of vital importance whenever people visit on their Peru vacation package. Find out more here.

The Top Traditional Dishes to try in Peru

Peruvian food is a cuisine of contrast, robust yet delicate, acidic with sweet or starchy and hot and cold on the same plate. Traditional Peruvian food relies on different herbs and spices, producing bold flavors, ranging from the crisp and refreshing to the deep and hearty, combining opposites in a blend of culinary genius. While many people visit Peru to experience Machu Picchu and unparalleled trekking, Peru’s true treasure is its rich culinary heritage. Rich ingredients from the coast, the Andes and The Amazon combine with culinary techniques from Africa, Europe, and East Asia come together to produce unique taste sensations, giving Peru the title of the culinary capital of South America. Peru’s gastronomic boom began, reinventing dishes that had a long tradition in the kitchens of Peruvian families. Here is a list of top traditional Peruvian dishes to sample on your visit to Peru.

• Ceviche.-  Let’s begin with the national dish of the country. Ceviche can be described as addictive and there are not many Peruvians who don’t class this Peruvian dish as one of their favorites. Other South American countries have their own versions of the dish, but this marinated fish or seafood, served cold, includes the catch of the day, marinated for a few minutes in lime juice, onion, salt, and hot chilies (aji) in Peruvian cuisine . Preparing a ceviche is an art that Peruvians like to experiment with to make other dishes like quinoa ceviche and even a mango ceviche for vegetarians!.
• Lomo Saltado.-  There’s nothing more Peruvian than lomo saltado. As a country that is home to diverse cultures, the birth of this dish could only have been possible because of cultural influences in the kitchen. Lomo Saltado is originally a Chinese dish brought by Chinese immigrants. Combine sliced steak, marinated in soy sauce, red onions, french fries, ají amarillo or chili and you have the basic recipe, then serve with rice. Coming in second only to ceviche in popularity, lomo saltado is a mix of Chinese stir-fry and classic Peruvian cuisine. Originating from the coastal region of Peru, this world -famous dish is on most menus throughout the country these days and is a must -try on your Peruvian vacation.
• Aji de Gallina.- There are different stories about the origins of the deliciously creamy Aji de Gallina. Historians say that when Peru was taken over by the Spanish, a dish that came from Europe made with chicken breast and Arab seasonings, became the first version of Aji de Gallina. Another theory claims that poor citizens collected the hen bones that were thrown away by the rich and took the remains to their houses where they added chili and bread to make a bigger meal. Aji de Gallina today is generally made with strips of chicken, bread, potatoes, olives and eggs, and is one of the most unique dishes on your Peru vacation. 
• Pachamanca.- Pachamanca originates from the Andean region and the cooking is done underground, somewhat like an underground barbecue! The word “pachamanca” is broken down into two: “pacha” meaning earth, and “manca” meaning pot. This impressive dish has been served at important ceremonies since pre-Columbian times. It is cooked with hot stones that cover the meat and vegetables, along with potatoes and other spices used according to the region, then covered with earth to do its thing! 
• Cuy (Guinea Pig).- Guinea pig or “Cuy “in Spanish is the second most popular meat source in the Andes, with alpaca being the first. The thoughts of eating a rodent or a pet may seem an unfavorable idea for many, however a melt-in-your-mouth tender dark meat, infused with the taste of wood smoke, all beneath a crispy golden skin. Just imagine you’re eating a single-serving roast suckling pig or roast chicken and enjoy this tasty, low calory nutricious dish as the Incas once did. 
• Arroz con Pollo /Pato.- On the surface, this appears to be a simple Spanish Creole recipe. In Peru, however, this is a signature dish with many regional variations. Typically, the rice is combined with cilantro paste, herbs, and dark beer to lend it a hearty, earthier flavor. Topped with a leg or thigh of roast duck or chicken, this dish is served up all over Peru both at home or in restaurants. 
• Juane.-  This traditional Amazonian dish is a must-try if you are heading into the jungle region of Peru. It consists of rice, chicken, eggs and olives all wrapped in macaw flower leaves. In some parts of the Amazon , you can find Juane with yuca root, “paiche” (the biggest fish in the Amazon), and fried plantains and if you are heading to a jungle lodge, is often served on the boats for lunch, due to its organic, takeaway style, packaging. 
• Choritos a la Chalaca .- Along the coast of Peru, Choritos a la Chalaca make the best appetizers on any summer day. Originating from the port of Callao, this dish consists of mussels filled with onions, tomatoes, and corn kernels, while the fish marinates with the lime juice, just like a ceviche does. You do not even need a fork to eat Choritos a la Chalaca. Just eat it directly from the shell! 
• Pollo a La Brasa .- Named the unofficial national dish of Peru , this spit roast chicken is Peruvian soul food. Chefs marinate a whole chicken in a potent combination of garlic, herbs and spices, then spit roast it over hardwood to give it its heavenly crisped skin and exotically earthy flavor. Whatever time you arrive to a destination in Peru, you can guarantee that the local “polleria” will be open to sample this delicious dish.

The Altitude. Take it easy when you arrive at altitude and drink plenty of water. Do not take the altitude lightly this can make you feel bad and you do not want to spoil your Peru holiday package . Do nothing more than stroll around for the first few days until you feel your breathing is normal and you are used to the thinner air. After a couple of days do some day hikes around the local archaeological sites or some mountain biking in The Sacred Valley .  

Save the parties and drinking until after any trek you have planned, your body will thank you for it. Alcohol can cause terrible hangovers at altitude and should be avoided, at least while you are acclimatising 😊

The Truth About Drinking Tap Water in Peru

Peru is a country renowned for its rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and delectable cuisine. Yet, when it comes to something as fundamental as the quality of tap water, many travelers and even residents often question its safety. The question that looms large is: Can you drink the tap water in Peru without any concern? In this article, we'll explore the state of tap water in Peru, the challenges it faces, and the measures you can take to ensure your drinking water is safe, during your Peru vacation .

The State of Tap Water in Peru:

• Varied Quality.- Tap water quality in Peru can vary widely depending on where you are in the country. In cities like Lima and Cusco, the water treatment infrastructure is generally better, making the tap water safer to drink. However, in more remote or rural areas, access to safe drinking water can be a significant challenge. 
• Contamination Concerns.- Peru faces issues with water contamination, which can include bacteria, viruses, and pollutants from industrial and agricultural sources. This contamination can lead to health risks, particularly for those with weaker immune systems. 
• Boiling Water.- Boiling tap water is a common practice in Peru to make it safe for consumption. Boiling water kills most microorganisms, making it a straightforward method to ensure safer drinking water. However, it may not remove chemical pollutants. 
• Bottled Water.- Many locals and tourists opt for bottled water during their visit to Peru to avoid any potential risks associated with tap water. While this is a convenient option, it can contribute to plastic waste, an environmental concern that should not be overlooked. 
• Improvements in Water Quality.- Peru has made efforts to improve water quality in recent years. Water treatment plants, infrastructure upgrades, and government initiatives have all aimed to make tap water safer for consumption during your trip to Peru . The extent to which these improvements have reached every region of the country varies. 
• Use a Water Purifier: Investing in a portable water purifier or filter can be a smart choice, especially if you plan to explore remote areas of Peru. 
• Bottled Water: While it may contribute to plastic waste, opting for bottled water is a safe and convenient choice. Look for reputable brands and ensure that the seal is intact. 
• Ask Locals: When in doubt, consult locals or your accommodation staff for advice on the safety of tap water in the area. 
• Avoid Ice: In restaurants and bars, it's wise to ask for your beverages without ice, as it's often made with tap water. 

Drinking tap water in Peru is not universally safe, and the safety of the water can vary greatly depending on the location. While improvements have been made to water treatment infrastructure, it is essential when traveling to Peru to exercise caution. Boiling water, using purifiers, and opting for bottled water are practical measures to ensure that you can enjoy your vacation in Peru without risking your health. Always prioritize your well-being when deciding whether to drink tap water in Peru, and remember that prevention is better than a cure.

When traveling to the enchanting country of Peru on your Peru vacation package, your top priority should be experiencing its rich culture, stunning landscapes, and mouthwatering cuisine. But just as important is ensuring the safety of your valuable possessions while you enjoy your journey. Many hotels in Peru offer a valuable solution in the form of safety deposit boxes. Here, we will delve into the importance of these secure storage options and how they can provide peace of mind for travelers during their trip to Peru. 

Protection for Valuables 

Safety deposit boxes in Peruvian hotels serve as a reliable and secure means of safeguarding your most valuable belongings, such as passports, cash, jewelry, electronics, and important documents. Knowing that your possessions are locked away can help you relax and fully immerse yourself in you Peru travel experience. 

Convenience and Accessibility 

Most hotels in Peru provide safety deposit boxes in the rooms or at the front desk. This accessibility ensures that you can easily access your belongings when needed, without the hassle of carrying everything with you at all times, during your Peru vacation. 

Peace of Mind 

Traveling can be stressful, and the last thing you want to worry about is the safety of your valuables. Safety deposit boxes offer travelers the peace of mind they need, allowing them to focus on enjoying their trip rather than constantly checking on their possessions on the numerous Peru tours. 

Enhanced Security Measures 

Hotels in Peru take guest safety seriously, and safety deposit boxes are typically equipped with advanced security features, including digital locks or keycard access. This provides an added layer of protection against theft or unauthorized access. 

Insurance and Liability 

In the unfortunate event that any of your belongings are lost or stolen while stored in a hotel's safety deposit box, many hotels offer liability protection and insurance, providing compensation for the loss. Be sure to check with your hotel about their specific policies. 

Practical Usage 

Safety deposit boxes are not only for securing valuable items but can also be used to store important travel-related documents, such as travel itineraries, tickets, and visas. Having all these essentials in one secure location simplifies your travel experience. All hotels that we use have safety deposit boxes in the hotel rooms or at the reception for your safety during your visit to Peru. 

When planning your trip to Peru, make sure to prioritize the safety of your belongings by utilizing the safety deposit boxes provided by your hotel. It's a small but crucial step that can enhance your travel experience and ensure that your focus remains on exploring the wonders of this incredible country, free from the worry of your valuables. In Peru, safety and security are paramount, and the availability of safety deposit boxes in hotels is a testament to the commitment of the hospitality industry in ensuring your peace of mind during your vacation in Peru. These tips for ensuring a safe and secure trip in Peru will help you have a safe and pleasurable trip to Peru! 

Peru is a country in South America, located on the western side of that continent, encompassing a part of the Andes Mountain range that runs the length of South America, and facing the South Pacific Ocean. Peru shares its borders with Ecuador and Colombia to the north, Brazil, and Bolivia to the east and Chile to the south. What makes this country stand out among all the other countries in the world are its unsurpassed cultural diversity and history. The archaeological heritage of pre-Columbian cultures and the nexus of the ancient Inca’s empire attract the true adventure lovers to this country. Every year it gets thousands of visitors thanks to its wonders. Lots of travelers head straight to Machu Picchu as it’s the most famous destination in the country, but there is so much more to see and do. Peru has amazing beaches and its beauty is not only about historical sites and colonial cities like Lima and Cuzco. Of course, we can't forget about the natural wonders like Rainbow Mountain, Titicaca Lake, Amazon Rainforest, and the mysterious Nazca Lines. Unfortunately, Peru is also famous to be a quite dangerous country, for different reasons. The Media and Embassies often say it’s a dangerous country, it’s not unusual to see violent strikes and violent protests in the cities due to the dissatisfaction towards the government, and pickpockets are pretty common. 

But if you listen to all what media says, you would never go to Peru. They generally focus on the negative aspects of the country, they only talk about strikes, violence, protests, social problems, drugs, and poverty. Of course, we are not here to deny that these issues exist, just like every other country, Peru has its issues, yet you can travel safely throughout Peruvian territory especially if you join a tour group on a Peru vacation package 

The press rarely talks about how amazing the Peruvians are. They are kind people and always interested in making friends and they just want travelers to enjoy their time in the country and fall in love with their wonderful Peru. They want travelers to know that there is much more in Peru than crimes and social problems. It won’t take long to make Peruvian friends. They are really friendly, they have a Latin soul after all, and they are so lively. Of course, like in every country, not everybody is genuine and kind. Scams do exist on a small scale so it is important to have your wits about about you during your trip to Peru. 

Some Issues 

There are sometimes issues in Peru regarding protests and the strikes, more recently due to the arrest of the ex- President Pedro Castillo. However, this type of unrest is not generally directed at tourists. Most of the time Peruvians are just fighting for their rights in their country, because they want better conditions of life and work, they deserve a better country and they don’t want a government that makes bad decisions. The people are calling for a re-election but this has not been addressed by the government. Protests are generally not directed at tourism and tourists are generally safe unless they get caught up in the protests by accident, or the streets and tourist destinations are closed due to the protests. 

Embassy /Consulate Recommendations 

Embassies are advising that you should avoid any protests or government buildings where protests are likely to take place. The current protests could spread to other parts of the country and lead to road closures, further rail suspensions and closure of airports. Travellers are therefore advised to monitor local social media and adhere to government advice. They should also travel with a sufficient supply of food, water and medication, as well as local currency in cash. 

Is Peru safe for family vacations? 

In general, Peru is a safe country to travel with children. People are kind, the landscapes are truly stunning and the learning experiences are culturally enriching and fascinating. Many families travel to Peru, some more adventurous than others however, there are few basics to remember. For example, talk to your doctor before taking babies under 2-year-old to high elevation. Book in advance with a reputable tour operator and make sure that all activities you book are suitable for the younger members of the family. 

 Is it safe to travel to Peru alone?  

The general answer is yes, single travelers don´t usually have too many issues. It is recommendable to learn some Spanish before your travel, a little goes a long way, when you are getting around Peru.  

Female travelers 

Peru is generally safe for female travellers. Women will however, get more unwanted attention, such as dealing with wolf whistling and cat calls. Women should be prudent if alone at night, you may be seen as an easy target for thieves; also, if you are at the bar, you should never leave your drink unattended. 

How safe is the water and food in Peru? 

In some countries, it is appropriate to drink tap water. Unfortunately, this is not an option in Peru. Make sure you boil the tap water before drinking it at least for 1 minute. In general, the tap water is loaded with limescale and is detectable on drinking even when boiled.  If you are staying at hotels, we recommend bringing a refillable bottle with you to stock up on water from their “bidon” of purified water, and avoid the use of plastics.

Peru, a mesmerizing country known for its rich cultural heritage, ancient ruins, and stunning landscapes, beckons adventurers from all around the world. While the allure of Peru is undeniable, so is the presence of pickpockets, a common challenge for tourists. Here, we will shed light on the crafty pickpockets of Peru and provide essential tips to help travelers safeguard their belongings and enjoy a secure exploration of this Andean gem. Here are some Safety tips for travelers to Peru. 

The Pickpocket Predicament 

Pickpocketing is a prevalent issue in many major cities and tourist destinations in Peru, including Lima, Cusco, Arequipa, and Machu Picchu. These nimble-fingered thieves often target distracted or unsuspecting tourists in crowded areas, public transportation, markets, and even historical sites. The methods employed by pickpockets are as diverse as the country itself, making it crucial for travelers to be vigilant during their visit to Peru. 

Safety Tips for Travelers 

Conceal Valuables 

Keep your money, passport, and other valuable documents concealed in an under-clothing pouch or a money belt. Avoid carrying large sums of cash or flashy jewelry. 

Use Anti-Theft Bags 

Invest in anti-theft bags with features like lockable zippers, cut-resistant straps, and RFID-blocking compartments. These will make it much harder for pickpockets to access your belongings. 

Stay Aware 

Pay attention to your surroundings, especially in crowded places. Be cautious of individuals who get too close, bump into you, or exhibit unusual behavior. 

Divide and Secure 

Divide your valuables into multiple pockets and bags. This way, even if a pickpocket succeeds in taking one item, the rest will remain safe. 

Beware of Distractions 

Pickpockets often use distraction techniques. Be cautious if someone spills something on you, asks for directions, or engages you in conversation abruptly. 

Opt for Secure Transportation 

When using public transportation, especially buses and trains, be on guard. Keep an eye on your belongings and use luggage locks if necessary. 

Prevent Digital Theft 

Use password protection and tracking apps for your electronic devices. Ensure your gadgets are secure, and avoid using public Wi-Fi networks for sensitive transactions. 

Know Emergency Numbers 

Familiarize yourself with local emergency numbers and contact information for your country's embassy in Peru in case you need assistance. 

Stay Informed 

Stay updated on the latest travel advisories and safety recommendations for your destination. Local insights from fellow travelers in Peru can be invaluable. 

Blend In 

Avoid drawing attention to yourself by dressing like a local and speaking quietly in public. Dress modestly and respectfully when visiting religious or cultural sites. 

Exploring the enchanting land of Peru is an unforgettable experience, but it's essential to be aware of the presence of pickpockets and take measures to protect your belongings. By following the safety tips outlined in this article, you can minimize the risk of falling victim to theft and fully enjoy the remarkable attractions, culture, and hospitality that Peru has to offer. Stay vigilant, stay prepared, and create lasting memories in this captivating trip to Peru. 

On a Peru Vacation package to explore the enchanting landscapes of Peru, staying connected is crucial. Whether you want to share your incredible experiences with friends and family or ensure access to navigation apps and travel information, getting a local SIM card is a convenient and cost-effective solution. Here we'll guide you through the process of purchasing a SIM card in Peru, so you can stay connected and make the most of your journey. 

Why Buy a Local SIM Card in Peru? 

Cost-Effective Communication 

Roaming charges from your home country can quickly add up, making it expensive to stay in touch while traveling in Peru. Purchasing a local SIM card is a budget-friendly alternative, allowing you to enjoy affordable data, call, and text rates, saving you money in the long run. 

Reliable Coverage 

Local SIM cards in Peru are more likely to provide better coverage in remote and rural areas compared to international roaming services. This is especially important when you plan to explore places like the Andes Mountains, the Amazon Rainforest, or the Sacred Valley of the Incas. 

Convenient Data Access 

With a local SIM card, you can access the internet on the go, making it easy to use mapping and translation apps, check bus or train schedules, and search for nearby attractions, restaurants, and accommodations. 

Staying in Touch 

Having a local number during you Peru vacation package makes it easier for friends, family, or fellow travelers to reach you, reducing the hassle of international dialing codes and ensuring you can be reached in case of emergencies. 

Buying a SIM Card in Peru: Step by Step 

Choose a Network Provider 

Peru has several mobile network providers, but the two most popular and widely used ones are Claro and Movistar. Both offer reliable coverage and a range of prepaid plans suitable for travelers. You can purchase SIM cards from their stores or authorized resellers. 

Requirements 

You will need your passport to purchase a SIM card in Peru. It's a legal requirement for registration purposes, so make sure to carry it with you when you visit a provider's store or kiosk. 

Select a Plan 

Once you have chosen a network provider, discuss your needs with the store staff. They will help you select a suitable prepaid plan based on your data, call, and text requirements. Plans often come in different sizes, with varying amounts of data and validity periods. 

Registration 

The salesperson will register your SIM card using your passport information. This process is straightforward and should only take a few minutes. 

Insert the SIM Card 

After you have completed the registration and purchased a plan, the salesperson will help you insert the SIM card into your phone. They will also set up any necessary network settings. 

Top Up Your Credit 

Prepaid plans come with a fixed amount of credit for data, calls, and texts. You can top up your credit at most convenience stores, kiosks, and authorized dealers. Be sure to check your balance regularly to avoid running out of credit. 

Enjoy Your Stay 

With your new Peruvian SIM card, you're now ready to explore the country without worrying about expensive roaming fees. You can stay connected, share your experiences, and access valuable travel information on the go. 

Buying a SIM card in Peru is a simple and cost-effective way to ensure seamless communication during your journey through this captivating country.

Peru, with its diverse landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture, is a captivating destination for travelers. As you plan your Peru Vacation package to this South American gem, it's essential to be well-prepared, and one of the often overlooked aspects of travel is understanding the country's electrical system, plug sockets, and power chargers. Electrical voltage and adapter requirements in Peru, may be different from your home country, so this guide will help you navigate the complexities of Peru's power infrastructure, ensuring your devices stay charged throughout your Peru adventure trip. 

Peru's Electrical System 

Peru's electrical system operates at a voltage of 220 volts and a frequency of 60 hertz. This is different from many countries, including the United States and Canada, which use 110-120 volts and 60 hertz. It's crucial to check the voltage requirements of your electronic devices before plugging them into Peruvian outlets to avoid damage or malfunction. 

Plug Types in Peru 

Peru primarily uses two types of plug sockets: 

• Type A: This plug has two flat pins, similar to those used in North America. However, due to the higher voltage in Peru, it's not advisable to use a Type A plug for devices designed for 110-120 volts. If your device is dual voltage (110-240 volts), you can use a Type A adapter. 
• Type C: Type C plugs are the standard European two-pin plugs, with round pins. Most modern hotels and accommodations in Peru are equipped with Type C outlets. 

Some upscale hotels and establishments in Peru may also have Type B outlets, which are the same as Type A but have an additional grounding pin. These can accommodate both Type A and Type B plugs. 

Adapters and Converters 

To ensure your devices can be used safely in peru, consider bringing the following: .

• Adapter: If your device is dual voltage (110-240V), you will only need a plug adapter to convert your plug type to match Peruvian outlets. These are inexpensive and readily available online and in most travel supply stores. 
• Voltage Converter: If your device is not compatible with 220 volts, you will need a voltage converter. Be cautious when using converters, as they can be bulky and may not be suitable for certain high-power devices like hairdryers or curling irons. It's often more convenient to invest in dual-voltage travel-friendly appliances or purchase them locally on your Peru vacation package . 

Charging Your Devices 

When charging your devices in Peru, follow these essential tips: 

• Check the voltage requirements: Always check your device's voltage requirements before plugging it in. Most modern electronic gadgets like laptops, smartphones, and cameras are dual voltage, meaning they can handle both 110-120V and 220-240V. 
• Use surge protectors: Consider using surge protectors for sensitive electronic devices to safeguard them against voltage fluctuations and power surges that might occur in some areas. 
• Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS): In regions with inconsistent power supply, a UPS can help protect your equipment and prevent data loss during power outages. 

Understanding Peru's electrical system and the plug sockets used in the country is essential for a smooth and enjoyable travel experience. By knowing the plug types, having the right adapters, and being aware of voltage requirements, you can keep your devices charged and ready to capture the beauty on your Peru adventure trip. Traveling to Peru prepared ensures you can fully enjoy your journey without any unnecessary disruptions.

Ich habe einen Tagesausflug nach Paracas und Huacachina gebucht und bin sehr begeistert von der Tour. Der Reiseleiter war sehr angenehm und hat unterwegs alles bestens beschrieben. Die Tour war sehr gut organisiert. Ich habe die Bootstour zu den Islas Ballestas sehr genossen. Auch die Buggy Tour und das Sandboarding waren toll. Ich bin von dort aus in Huacachin geblieben und das hat auch super geklappt.

This French Hotelier Says the Travel Industry Is Doing It All Wrong

If tourism is going to make the planet better, argues Thierry Teyssier, it has to stop putting guests’ needs first.

700,000 Heures Impact’s location in Peru’s Amazon rainforest opened on June 1.

Welcome to the Better Travel Bureau , where we dive into the business of making tourism more equitable, more inclusive and less harmful to the environment—who’s transforming the industry, what’s changing and is it actually possible?

Thierry Teyssier is a hotelier who sells experiences rather than rooms.
