Yes, Peru is generally safe for tourists, especially when traveling with a professional tour operator. As with any destination, it is important to follow safety recommendations, stay aware of your surroundings, and travel with trusted agencies.

We recommend at least 2 to 3 days to properly visit Machu Picchu, including travel time from Cusco or the Sacred Valley. Longer itineraries allow you to enjoy additional sites such as the Sacred Valley and optional hikes.

Some travelers may experience altitude sickness when visiting high-altitude destinations like Cusco. We recommend arriving gradually, staying hydrated, avoiding heavy meals the first day, and allowing time for acclimatization.

Packing depends on the regions you will visit. We recommend comfortable walking shoes, layered clothing, a light jacket, sun protection, rain gear (during the rainy season), and personal medications.

Travel insurance is highly recommended for all visitors. It should cover medical expenses, trip cancellations, and emergency evacuation, especially if you plan to participate in trekking or adventure activities.

The official currency of Peru is the Peruvian Sol (PEN). US dollars are also widely accepted in tourist areas. ATMs and exchange services are available in major cities and towns.

No vaccinations are required for most travelers. However, vaccinations such as Yellow Fever may be recommended if you plan to visit the Amazon region. Please consult your doctor before traveling.
