Peru Travel FAQs
- How many days do I need in Peru? For a week, you can explore the highlights of the Inca culture, during which you'll set foot in many historical sites in Lima, Cusco, and Aguas Calientes.

- Will I be able to exchange Dollars, Euros, or other currencies during my tour in Peru?
In Peru, US Dollars and Euros can be easily exchanged for local currency (Peruvian Sol) in airports, banks, exchange offices, hotels, or street money changers. But the exchange rate differs in different places, it is suggested to make a comparison or ask your tour guide for personal suggestions.
- Is it a common practice to give tips in Peru? Tipping in Peru is generally considered a good practice and strongly encouraged among travelers. You'll find that tipping is normal at restaurants, hotels, and bars, where typically, you can tip an extra 10% of the bill if you are provided with satisfying service. How much to tip your tour guide and driver depends on how you rate their service. Normally we suggest USD 3-6 per traveler per day to the guide or driver.
Best Places to Visit in Peru

Aguas Calientes, a town famous for its thermal pools and bustling market, serves as the ideal entry point to adjacent Machu Picchu, which can be reached in about 30 minutes by bus. Machu Picchu, which rises at a height of nearly 2,300 meters on the eastern ridge of the Andes Mountains, was constructed by the Inca Empire during the pre-Columbian era and is regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It was left undiscovered for 400 years before being found in 1911, making it one of the best-preserved Inca cities and a gem of archeology. It also earned the nickname "Lost City of the Incas."
- CUSCO
Cusco was the ancient Inca Empire's capital city. In the 16th century, colonists preserved the existing buildings while adding new Baroque ones. These locations, including Plaza de Armas, Cusco Cathedral, Sacsayhuaman, and Sacred Valley, are now well-known tour destinations.
- PISAC & OLLANTAYTAMBO
The two towns, which are in Peru's Sacred Valley, are well-known for their enigmatic remains, stone terraces, and picturesque surroundings. The Pisac Archaeological Park, Pisac Market, and Archaeological Park Ollantaytambo are some of its most representative tourist spots.
- PUNO
Though visitors can glimpse the unique culture of indigenous people here, they come mostly to see Lake Titicaca. In legend, it's the landing site of the Incas' forefathers, the deity of the sun. The Uros Floating Islands on the lake are must-sees, which are surprisingly made of reeds.
- PARACAS
The town is located on the west coast of Peru and is home to some nice beaches and the Ballestas Islands teeming with marine life. However, what makes it more famous is as a gateway to mysterious the Paracas Candelabra and the world-renown Nazca and Palpa Lines.
