The land of a thousand marvels

SECURITY


We recommend that you take the same precautions you would normally take when visiting any other tourist destination.

Carry a copy of your identity documents. Keep the originals and your valuables in the hotel safe. Do not change money in the street.

Use taxi companies (telephone reservation) or those authorised by the local council (in Lima) they are usually painted yellow and have an iluminated sign on the roof.


TELEPHONE


When making international calls dial: 00+ country code + city code + telephone number.

For inter-city calls: 0 + city code + telephone number. Public telephones accept coins and cards which can be bought in kiosks and supermarkets. Ensure that the card you buy is for the telephone company you want to use. For information on telephone numbers: dial 103.

HEALTH


Drink only bottled or boiled water. Avoid eating at street food stalls.

Altitude sickness (soroche) can be avoided by resting on the first day you arrive in the highlands and by eating sparingly. Coca leaf tea is recommended.

If you are traveling to the highlands or jungle make sure you take insect repellant and waterproof clothing.


CHANGING MONEY


You are recommended to change money in your hotel and authorised money changers (open: 9:30 to 18:00 approximately). On Saturdays most banks are open only until midday.

FLYING
