Peru

Language

The official language of Peru is Spanish. Quechua and Aymara are also recognized as official languages in some regions. Learning basic Spanish phrases can enhance your travel experience and help you communicate with locals, especially in rural areas.

Time Zone

Peru follows Peru Time (PET), which is UTC-5. There is no Daylight Saving Time in Peru, so it remains the same year-round. It is 2 hours ahead of Salt Lake City Mountain Time during Standard Time and 1 hour ahead during Daylight Saving Time.

Electricity

The power plug sockets used in Peru are Type A and Type C. The standard voltage is 220 V, and the frequency is 60 Hz. Be sure to bring a voltage converter if your devices are not compatible with 220 V, as well as a power adapter for the plugs.

Climate

Peru's climate varies significantly depending on the region. The coastal areas are dry, the Andes have cooler temperatures, and the Amazon region is hot and humid year-round. Pack accordingly for the specific areas you plan to visit.

Health

Travelers to Peru should consider purchasing travel insurance that covers medical expenses. It's also wise to consult a doctor about recommended vaccinations, such as yellow fever, especially if visiting the Amazon region. Drink bottled or boiled water to avoid waterborne illnesses. https://www.travelexinsurance.com/homepage?location=44-0110&go=bp

Tips

While tipping is not mandatory in Peru, it is appreciated for good service. In restaurants, a 10% tip is common if a service charge isn’t already included. For guides and porters, tips are customary and often expected in tourist areas.

Currency

The official currency in Peru is the Peruvian Sol (PEN). As of the latest exchange rate, 1 US dollar is approximately equal to 3.85 Soles. Exchange rates may vary, so it's a good idea to check before your trip.

Transportation

Peru has various transportation options, including buses, taxis, and domestic flights. Long-distance buses are an affordable and common way to travel between cities, while taxis are best for shorter distances. Always agree on the fare beforehand for taxis without meters

Dining Etiquette

Peruvians usually eat their main meal in the afternoon, called "almuerzo." Dinner is lighter and served later in the evening. When dining out, greet your server with a polite "Buenos días" (Good day) or "Buenas noches" (Good evening).

Safety

Peru is generally safe for tourists, but petty theft can occur in busy areas. Keep your valuables secure and avoid flashing expensive items. Be cautious in crowded markets and public transportation.

Local Customs

Greetings in Peru are often warm and friendly. A handshake is common, and in social settings, a kiss on the cheek may be exchanged. Respect for local traditions, such as not taking photos of people without permission, is highly appreciated.

Cultural Sites

Many iconic sites, such as Machu Picchu, require tickets that should be purchased in advance due to limited daily entry. Sundays often provide free entry to archaeological sites and museums for Peruvian residents, which can lead to larger crowds.

Visa Requirements

What is the typical food in Peru?

Peruvian cuisine includes dishes like ceviche (marinated seafood), cuy (guinea pig), lomo saltado (stir-fried beef with vegetables), and aji de gallina (chicken in creamy sauce). Rice and beans are staples in many meals.

Should I be concerned about Peru's altitude?

Altitude sickness can affect visitors in high-altitude areas like Cusco or Puno. It’s recommended to acclimate gradually, stay hydrated, and bring medicine for altitude sickness if needed. Coca tea is also a popular local remedy.

Is it safe to drink tap water in Peru?

No, tap water in Peru is not safe to drink. Always use bottled or boiled water for drinking and brushing your teeth.

Do I need a Visa to travel to Peru?

US citizens can visit Peru visa-free for up to 183 days for tourism. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months after your arrival date. https://apply.joinsherpa.com/travel-restrictions

What kind of clothing should I pack?

Pack lightweight, breathable clothing for the coast or Amazon and layers for cooler areas like the Andes. A waterproof jacket is useful during the wet season.

Is tipping expected in Peru?

Tipping is appreciated but not obligatory. In restaurants, a 10% tip is customary. For tour guides and porters, tipping is expected and varies based on the service.

Are there any cultural customs I should know?

Respect for local customs is essential. Always ask permission before taking photos of people, especially in indigenous communities. Greet others with a handshake or "Buenos días" for a warm impression.

Are credit cards widely accepted?

Credit cards are accepted in major cities, but cash is preferred in rural areas and small shops. Carry Soles for convenience, especially for small transactions.

All the details were taken care of. Our tour guide was personable, knows the history and all of the interesting facts, entertaining, and gracious. This is our first tour with Evolution35, but it won’t be our last. We are already planning our next trip to Italy with them.

- Stefan and Molly

Our Happy Clients

I was very pleased with the service that I received from evolution35 travel company. Our 9 day trip to Cancún was wonderful time in this beautiful country. The resorts that evolution35 chose for our stay were all wonderful! Evolution35 people was in constant communication with us via email and WhatsApp asking how the trip was going and if we had any concerns or requests and when I did have a request they responded immediately and took care of it. Everything including tours and transportation were taken care of for us so it was very relaxing knowing we did not have to think about anything except when and where we were going next. Evolution35 also worked hard to ensure that we have a wonderful time during our stay in Cancun an that we return home safe. We are planing a trip to Costa Rica with Evolution35 in October.

- Jose Ruiz

Our Happy Clients

The Paris 99 trip was great. We enjoyed the driving tour of Paris, although we did fall asleep a few times as we were tired from the overnight flight from SLC. Our guide, Pedro, provided excellent information on the history of Paris and the sites we saw. The tour of Versailles was excellent, but we do wish we could have spent a little more time there. The Eifel Tower was amazing but felt a little rushed. The dinner on the Seine was excellent. Thank you for a great trip.

- Richard Leake

Our Happy Clients

Evolution35 Paris tour was an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide, Pedro, was spectacular. He is very knowledgeable and personable. He treated us like family. The tour was a happy balance between guided sightseeing tours and free time. We had so much fun that we can't wait to see what other tours Evolution35 offer.

- Kenneth S Davis

Our Happy Clients

We did the Costa Rica trip and it was incredible. Zipline, rainforest, boat rides, catamaran. It
was soooo much trip for the money. Loved the hotel Tabacón with the hot springs and the
Westin was also 5 star! You go from the Carribean side to the Pacific. It's the trip of a
lifetime. Well done evolution35

- Jason Shamy

Our Happy Clients

Evolution35 made our dream vacation come true! Great package price inclusive of airfare, 5
star hotel, transportation, meals, and excursions. I did not have to do anything. Everything

forward to booking again with evolution35! Evolution35 is the way to vacation!!!!!!

- ANALIS CARATTINI-RUIZ

Our Happy Clients

Fantastic trip to Paris with Evolution 35. Between booking our trip and the time we left, we had lots of questions and they were always so quick to respond to our emails. It was so wonderful that they took care of many details of our trip for us, especially the first couple of days as we were getting oriented in a foreign place! Our tour guide was hilarious and knowledgeable. He helped us stay safe and have a lot of fun too! A great experience for us!

Our Happy Clients

Contacté con esta empresa gracias a una amiga. La relación calidad/precio me ha parecido
excelente. La atención durante la contratación del viaje fue muy buena y rápida.
Solucionaron todas nuestras dudas, que eran muchas, con paciencia y acierto. La propuesta
que finalmente contratamos ha sido ideal para una primera vez en Hawaii, nos ha permitido
vivir la tranquilidad de la isla y hacer rutas por los parques naturales. En la llegada a Maui no
reubicaron a un apartahotel mejor en una zona diferente a la inicial que resultó ser un gran
acierto, dado que íbamos en familia, y facilitó nuestra estancia. Si podemos volver en el
futuro para conocer las otras islas, seguro que repetimos con ellos. ¡Gracias!
