Peru Frequently Asked Questions and Useful Information for Travel

Is it safe to visit Peru right now?

Yes, you can travel to Peru, but you should exercise increased caution due to risks of crime, civil unrest, and the threat of kidnapping. Travel advisories recommend avoiding demonstrations and being aware of risks in certain areas. While major tourist sites like Machu Picchu are open, you should stay informed about local conditions, avoid displaying valuables, and use reputable transportation. Be aware of pickpocketing and theft, especially in bustling cities like Lima. Protests and demonstrations can occur, sometimes turning violent and disrupting transport. Avoid large crowds and stay informed through local media. There is a risk of kidnapping, particularly in specific regions like the VRAEM (Valley of the Apurímac, Ene, and Mantaro Rivers).

Which month is the best to travel to Peru?

In a country with everything from mountains to rainforests, Peru is a true year-round destination. That said, if you want blue skies and fewer soggy socks, aim for the dry season from May to October.

Can girls wear shorts in Peru?

Casual, comfy attire like t-shirts, jeans, shorts or skirts will do. As in most big cities, it's best to leave expensive jewelry at home as this can attract attention.

Can I brush my teeth with tap water in Peru?

No, it is not recommended to brush your teeth with tap water in Peru to avoid waterborne illnesses, even if you are in a city or tourist area. The tap water can contain bacteria and parasites, so you should use bottled water, purified water from a filter, or boiled water to brush your teeth and for drinking. Tap water in Peru can contain harmful bacteria, parasites, and other pathogens that can cause illnesses like traveler's diarrhea. Water quality and sanitation infrastructure can vary significantly, and in many areas, particularly rural ones, the water is not treated to meet international safety standards. Safer alternatives include bottled water or water purified through a reliable filter.

What are the must-see attractions in Peru?

Peru is home to an incredible array of attractions, with the iconic Machu Picchu being the most famous. Beyond this Incan citadel, explore the ancient ruins of the Sacred Valley, discover the Nazca Lines etched into the desert floor, and wander through the historic streets of Cusco, the former Incan capital. For nature lovers, the Amazon rainforest offers unparalleled biodiversity, while Lake Titicaca presents a unique cultural experience on the world's highest navigable lake.
