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.

"Awai Riccharichiq is the quechuan name of the Center of weavers of Chinchero and Nilda Callañaupa is its founder and current director. The site is a marvel. Around the ample garden there is a covered gallery and towards the end, a venue built of natural colored mud, roofed with tiles. The garden gathers groups of women enthralled in a task that demands the effort of their hands but also, of their memories and intelligence. They are weaving and through this activity they are revitalizing a labor that during pre-Hispanic times was one of the most valued by society. The art of textile making divided work, provided the different social classes of pieces for daily use, and also ornaments of power and wealth. The textiles synthesized and conserved a Cosmo vision, which was almost a language on its own. Today, these women, young, adult, old, continue weaving over the base of the same ancient technology and using natural fibers and dyes extracted from plants that grow wildly in the lower areas. Visiting this place will generate a transformation in the traveler, as he will understand that there is an immense ancient world that is updated daily thanks to the hands of the weavers from Chinchero. "

5. 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM - Transfer from Chinchero to Maras - Sacred Valley

6. 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM - Visit Maras - Sacred Valley. || -13.335578696380214, -72.15724514557374

Maras is a small community 40 kilometers from the city of Cusco, on a turnoff from the road to the town of Urubamba. Its main attraction, apart from its church, that dates from the colonial period, are the salt mines located near the town which captivate sightseers and, in particular, photographers. Salt is extracted from mines which have been in use since pre-Columbian times. The extraction method employed involves using an ancient drying process, whereby salt-water, flowing from an underground stream, is left in the sun in thousands of wells until it has evaporated, leaving behind only the salt, which is then ready to be sold or exchanged for provisions. During the summer months (April – October) the shimmering spectacle offered by the pools is incomparable.

7. 11:30 AM - 12:00 PM - Transfer from Maras to Moray - Sacred Valley

8. 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM - Visit Moray - Sacred Valley. || -13.329742049315374, -72.19715453325428

Only 38 Km away from Cusco, Moray lies just 7 Km away from Maras, although the road to it is not always in good condition. This community is famous for its embedded amphitheater, formed by four circular terraces which seem to disappear into the interior of the puna, like an artificial crater. Evidence seems to suggest that Moray was an important center of Inca agricultural research on crops, which was carried out on different sized plots located at various altitudes (some of which were at more than 100 m underground). The Andean terraces, built on retaining walls filled with fertile soil and watered via a complex irrigation system, offer up more than 250 different types of vegetables and cereals, such as corn, quinoa and kiwicha. The Moray agricultural laboratory, are the mysterious four circular terraces of Moray that resemble gigantic finger prints on a high plateau at 3.500 m.a.s.l. As recent research has shown, the terraces at Moray were used for adapting plants to new weathers and environments, and are additional proof of the highly sophisticated level of agricultural knowledge reached by the Incas. At the experiment station, the large conic depressions 47 to 84 meters deep cut in limestone made it possible to replicate on each terrace’s depth. Resembling a sunken amphitheater or an artificial crater, the terraces were built by erecting containment walls filled with fertile land and provided with complex irrigation systems. Temperature differences between the top and bottom of these depressions permitted using each terrace for adapting many different plant varieties (more than 250 plant species). The Incas are reported to have organized the agricultural production throughout the Tahuantisuyo from the experience gained at the Moray site.

9. 12:45 PM - 1:15 PM - Transfer to local restaurant.

10. 1:15 PM - 2:15 PM - Lunch at local restaurant.

11. 2:15 PM - 2:45 PM - Transfer to Ollantaytambo - Sacred Valley

12. 2:45 PM - 5:45 PM - Visit Ollantaytambo - Sacred Valley. || -13.25850290065732, -72.26434350466334

"The fortress of Ollantaytambo was named after the legendary Ollanta, a chieftain famous for his romance with a princess, the daughter of Pachacútec. Ollantaytambo is divided in two sectors, according to the dual Hanan and Hurin scheme, separated by a rivulet (Patacancha) that flows north to south along an old Inca canal. The upper sector occupies a hill and part of the rivulet’s banks, where there is a large square and a series of adobe brick and stone rooms. A beautiful stone known as the “Ñusta Bath” can be seen to one side of the square. The top of the hill can be reached by stairways built between terraces. At the summit, we find plastered-wall rooms, the Temple of the Sun and other fine buildings of cyclopean size. Finally, a half-finished wall of finely polished and carefully fitted stone blocks featuring high relief motifs found between the Kachijata quarry and Ollantaytambo reveals that the building process was suddenly interrupted. The site is completed with ponds, carved rocks and several hectares of agricultural terraces with their respective canals and stairways. Large courts with four rooms and a courtyard separated by stone streets and squares of orthogonal design like a chessboard form the lower sector. After the ollantaytambo tour we can walk through the main square

13. 5:45 PM - 7:30 PM - Transfer from Ollantaytambo to Cusco.

14. 7:30 PM - Dinner at the hotel. || -13.516772058707538, -71.97603619092193

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.

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

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
was planned ahead for me under one affordable price. We had a blast and are looking
forward to booking again with evolution35! Evolution35 is the way to vacation!!!!!!

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!
