Quick Tour Guide to Peru | Top Attractions, Tips & Highlights

1) HOW TO GET THERE

• If you enter Bolivia via the Copacabana-Puno route (Kasani Paso—Control), you can also take the Desaguadero alternative from La Paz.
• Via Chile, the entrance is by Arica (to Tacna)
• Another option is via Ecuador; there are several routes, either by the coast (Huaquillas), the Sierra (Macará, La Balza), or the jungle via river (Coca-Rocafuerte).
• From Brazil: Via Tabatinga, Iquitos by the Amazon River, or Iñapari to the south (road through Puerto Maldonado).

You can stay a maximum of 90 days as a tourist in the country, and you must re-enter to renew your visa (for Argentines).

It all depends on which trip each one makes.

2) BUDGET

* ACCOMMODATION: A dorm bed is between S/25 and S/30, reaching S/35 or S/65 (generally full of Europeans and Americans). Campings from S/20.

* FOOD: Ceviche, Lima cause or potatoes to the entrance huancaína. They say that food is one of the best foods for the soul. Peru is a country that can prove this. Sweets like the sig Lima (own of the capital) and the cremolada (very common in the north, in many fruit flavors).

The markets are an inexhaustible source of vegetables and fruits, ideal for stocking up.

3) PRACTICAL ISSUES

• CLIMATE: Peru has three environments (coast, mountains, and sea); the climate ranges from tropical to cold in a matter of hours.
• PLUG: Regarding electricity in Peru, the voltage is 220 V, and the pins are type A (II) and C (oo)
• INTERNET: If you come from Bolivia, you will notice a substantial change. The internet works well. There is Wi-Fi in all the bars, hostels, and Lima, even in the parks.

4) SAFETY AND WOMEN TRAVELING ALONE

What told us that the most dangerous cities are those on the coast for the year’s holidays (who said that many people from the north would steal), Trujillo, and Piura. And for women, Peru is super cute to travel to, and they will not feel harassed.

5) WHAT TO SEE AND DO

The beauty of Peru is that it has everything: jungle, Sierra, and coast. There are trekking tours (Sacred Valley, Arequipa, and Callejón de Huaylas are ideal) and visiting museums and ruins (Peru is an open-air museum of pre-Hispanic cultures).
