Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season from May to November. Pack light clothing, sunscreen, and a hat for the sunny climate. Respect local customs and greet people politely. Keep an eye on personal belongings in crowded areas. Use bottled water and avoid street food if you have a sensitive stomach. Currency is Peruvian Sol; credit cards are accepted in many places, but cash is preferred in markets. Learning basic Spanish phrases enhances the experience.
