Peru: Trip Preparation & Destination Information

Where can I find information on travel safety? Check out the US Department of State's website for the most up-to-date information on safety while traveling.

Is the water safe to drink? Tap water should be avoided by Travelers. You should also avoid brushing your teeth with tap water when possible. For drinking water, make sure to drink treated water which can be found at all lodging accommodations. 

Do I need a Visa? For Visa information, visit click here. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months after you return home and has two or more blank pages. Otherwise, some countries may not let you enter.

What about vaccines? For vaccination information, click here.

Do you recommend travel insurance? While not required, we highly recommend all travelers get travel insurance for their trip to protect themselves from the unknown! Check out travel insurance options from our partner, worldnomads.com, or from a provider of your choice.

How much should I pack? As we will be using shared transfers and spaces throughout our tour we recommend all travelers pack as lightly as possible. Please review our luggage restrictions below.

Should I include an overnight bag in my packing? If your trip includes a night in Aguas Calientes, we highly recommend bringing an overnight bag with you. Since we travel to Aguas Calientes by train, we are unable to carry our full luggage. Having a small overnight bag specifically for that part of your itinerary is convenient. The rest of your luggage will be safely stored and waiting for you at the subsequent destinations of your trip.

What does public transportation look like? Taxis and buses are available in Lima and Cusco. However, the best way to get around Cusco is by walking!

Is Uber or Lyft available? Uber is available in Lima.
