Quick tips
Essential Peru travel tips before choosing your route
Peru combines coast, Andes and Amazon in one trip. These practical notes help you plan realistic travel days, pack better and avoid common mistakes.
Altitude planning
Cusco, Puno and Arequipa sit high in the Andes. Keep your first day light, hydrate often and avoid rushing into demanding tours.
Best season
May to October usually brings better conditions for Andean routes. December to March is greener, but rain can affect timing.
Cash in soles
Carry small Peruvian sol bills for markets, rural communities, bathrooms, tips and small local purchases.
Smart packing
Bring layers, sunscreen, sunglasses, a reusable water bottle and a power bank for long travel days.
