Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season (May to September). Pack warm clothing for cool nights and sun protection for daytime. Acclimatize to the altitude gradually to avoid sickness. Respect local customs and ask permission before photographing people. Use cash (Peruvian soles) for markets but credit cards are accepted in many places. Stay hydrated and be cautious with street food if you have a sensitive stomach.
