Everybody loves a few travel facts and our Peru Travel Snapshot gives you a brief idea of what to expect when planning a holiday to Peru. Read on below as we expand on our travel bites…

Best Time To Travel – The very best time of year to travel to Peru is between April and November, especially if you plan to go on a trek. It is a wonderful time, with sunny days and bright blue skies, but early booking is crucial because it’s the peak season. 

Capital City – Peru’s capital city Lima is considered to be the political, cultural, financial and commercial centre of the country.

Currency – The national currency in Peru is the Sol. The approximate exchange is $1 = 2.5 Sol. Please make sure you have cash with you while on tour as not all hotels, restaurants accept credit card – US Dollars are also widely accepted.  Our guides can help you source a money exchange or take you to an ATM while on tour in Peru.

Approximate Travel Time – The approximate travel time to Peru from Australia to Peru is 19 hours. There are no direct flights and you will have to transit at least once.

Religion – 75% of people living in Peru practice Christianity.

Famous Dish – Ceviche. It’s Peru’s national dish, the best versions of this marinated fish dish are in Lima and it’s the freshest, zestiest and healthiest dish you will ever have.

Visa Required – No visa is required to visit Peru. All you need is a valid passport with at least 6 months validity from your return date and return flight ticket to present on arrival.

Fitness Level – We rate our Peru tours at requiring a high fitness level, especially if you plan to trek.  Many places on our Peru itineraries are at high altitudes, which can require a high level of fitness for simply walking around.
