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.

  • Use this site to check visa requirements when traveling to Peru: https://apply.joinsherpa.com/travel-restrictions

Peru

What is Peru best known for?

Peru is widely recognized for Machu Picchu, its Inca heritage, exceptional cuisine, and diverse landscapes. Its global reputation is shaped by several key features: Machu Picchu: A 15th-century Inca citadel and UNESCO World Heritage Site (listed in 1983), drawing more than 1.5 million visitors each year. Cuisine: Internationally celebrated for blending Indigenous, Spanish, African, Chinese, and Japanese influences. Lima has repeatedly been named the World’s Leading Culinary Destination. Popular dishes include ceviche, lomo saltado, and anticuchos, while the Pisco Sour is the national cocktail. History and Heritage: The legacy of the Inca Empire is especially visible in Cusco, the former capital, where pre-Columbian stonework and colonial architecture coexist. Nature and Biodiversity: Peru spans the Andes, Amazon Rainforest, and Pacific coast, containing 84 of the planet’s 117 life zones. It is one of the world’s most biodiverse countries, home to thousands of potato varieties and many endemic species. Adventure Travel: Outdoor activities range from surfing in Chicama, known for one of the longest waves in the world, to trekking routes like the Inca Trail.

What is the most beautiful part of Peru?

The Sacred Valley is often considered one of the most scenic areas in Peru, though many regions compete for that title. Each offers its own distinct beauty: Sacred Valley (Urubamba Valley): Known for terraced landscapes, Inca ruins like Ollantaytambo and Pisac, and traditional Quechua culture. Machu Picchu: One of the New Seven Wonders of the World, set among dramatic mountain and jungle scenery. Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca): Located at 5,200 m, famous for its colorful mineral-striped slopes. Colca Canyon: One of the deepest canyons in the world, reaching over 3,270 m in depth. Arequipa: A UNESCO-listed city built from white volcanic stone and surrounded by prominent volcanoes.

What is the nicest city in Peru?

Cusco and Lima are often considered the most attractive cities for visitors: Lima: The capital and largest city, known for its historic center, major museums, and world-renowned dining scene. Cusco: A UNESCO World Heritage Site and former Inca capital, famous for its blend of Inca and colonial architecture and as the gateway to Machu Picchu. Arequipa: Known as the “White City,” admired for its architecture and proximity to Colca Canyon. Iquitos: A remote city in the Amazon, accessible only by air or river, and a hub for jungle exploration. Trujillo: Recognized for nearby archaeological sites like Chan Chan and its colonial heritage.

What is the number one tourist attraction in Peru?

Machu Picchu is Peru’s top attraction, welcoming over 1.5 million visitors annually. Built around 1450, it is considered a masterpiece of Inca engineering and sits at 2,430 m above sea level. Cusco serves as the main gateway for travelers visiting the site.

Do I need a visa to go to Peru?

No visa is required for many travelers, as a tourist entry permit is issued upon arrival. Ensure your passport has at least one blank page and that you have proof of onward travel. This permit is typically valid for up to 183 days and allows a single entry. Check requirements here.

When are the best times to visit Peru?

The best time depends on your destination and activities. In the Andes, the dry season runs from June to August, while coastal regions are most pleasant from December to April. Climate conditions vary significantly across the country due to elevation differences.

Can I drink the tap water in Peru?

It’s not recommended to drink tap water. It’s safer to boil water before use or rely on bottled or purified water.

Is altitude sickness a major concern?

Altitude sickness can occur, particularly in high-altitude areas like the Andes or during hikes such as the Inca Trail. To reduce symptoms, stay hydrated, rest well, and ascend gradually. Coca tea is commonly used as a local remedy. Travel Insurance is also recommended, check here.

What kind of currency does Peru use?

The official currency is the Peruvian Sol (PEN).

How much should I tip in Peru?

Tipping is not deeply ingrained in local culture but is appreciated in certain situations. In restaurants, a tip of around 10% is customary for good service. Tipping bartenders and taxi drivers is not expected, though rounding up the fare is common.

What kind of adapters will I need for my electronics?

Peru uses 220V electricity. If your devices are not dual voltage, you may need a voltage converter. The country uses both Type A (flat two-prong) and Type C (round-prong) outlets, so bringing a Type C adapter is recommended.

Our Happy Clients

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.

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

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

- 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!
