Peru (Spaans: Perú) is ongetwyfeld een van die mees boeiende lande in Suid-Amerika. Tuiste van die epiese verlore Inca-sitadel van Machu Picchu en die gedagtes Nazca-lyne, maak hierdie land se unieke verlede die avonturier wakker by reisigers van alle soorte. Sy ontsagwekkende natuurskoon wissel van die wilde Amazone-oerwoude tot uitgestrekte kuswoestyne en die ysige pieke van die Andes. Peru bied 'n biodiversiteit aan wat selde binne die perke van 'n enkele land gesien word, met 'n lys van skouspelagtige natuurlewe ver buite die bekende lama's en sirkelvormige kondore. Boonop is Peru se vriendelike, multi-etniese mense 'n kulturele skat op hul eie. Die betowerende mengsel van tientalle verskillende inheemse groepe en mestisos, almal met hul eie kleurvolle tradisies en lekkernye, is 'n ontmoeting wat u nie maklik sal vergeet nie.

Kortom, dit is 'n land van onvoorstelbare uiterstes waar die keuse van u reisbestemmings 'n ware uitdaging kan wees. Of u besluit om buite die gebaande voet te gaan, volg in die voetspore van duisende besoekers voor u wat die Gringo-roete langs 'n paar van die beste hoogtepunte, of gaan ervaar die oerwoud deur 'n ontspannende Amazon-bootrit van meerdere dae - Peru sal u waarskynlik verbaas oor alles wat u doen.

Ondanks 23,9% (2014) van die bevolking (meestal Amerikaners op die platteland) wat onder die armoede grens, is die meeste Peruaanse nasionaliste en sal hulle met liefde en trots oor hul land praat. Vir baie van hulle kan die regering, polisie en politieke aangeleenthede gewantrou en gekritiseer word, want korrupsie en skandale is oral rondom. Dit is egter nie die belangrikste deel van Peru nie. Dit is die ryk natuurlike hulpbronne en sterk geskiedenis as die middelpunt van die antieke kulture van voor die Inca, die Inca-ryk en die later koloniale Spaanse kolonie wat hul nasionalistiese sentimente inspireer.

U kom die term dikwels teë gringo, wat vroeër verwys het na alle wit mense wat nie Spaans praat nie. Baie mense gebruik dit nou net vir Amerikaners of Amerikaanse voorkoms, maar dit is gewoonlik nie bedoel om aanstoot te gee nie. Peruanen sal nie huiwer om jou te groet met "¡Hola, gringo!", veral as jy blond is.

Soos in baie Suid-Amerikaanse lande, is doeltreffendheid of stiptelikheid nie een van die vele eienskappe van Peru nie. Gaan saam met die stroom en moenie verwag dat dinge presies betyds of presies sou wees soos beplan nie. Neem in ag dat mense buite die belangrikste toeristeplekke dikwels nie Engels sal praat nie, en dat hulle (probeer behulpsaam wees) verkeerde of onakkurate advies kan gee. Vir 'n paar algemene advies, kyk na ons wenke vir reis in ontwikkelende lande.

Elektrisiteit

'N Tipiese kragpunt wat in Peru gevind word

Elektrisiteit in Peru is 220 Volt en 60 Hertz. Uitsonderings is Talara, waar 'n mengsel van 110 V, 60 Hz en 220 V, 60 Hz gebruik word, en Arequipa met 220 V, 50 Hz.

Twee soorte elektriese afsetpunte word gebruik: die een neem tweepuntige proppe met plat, parallelle lemme in, en die ander een met twee ronde punte. Baie winkels aanvaar albei. Aarde-afsetpunte bestaan ​​maar is ongewoon. As u 'n 110 V-toestel wil gebruik, moet u seker maak dat dit 220 V kan neem, anders kan u die toerusting breek. Indien nie, bring 'n kragadapter saam. Dit word nie aanbeveel om 'n driepinsprop aan te pas vir gebruik in 'n tweepin-uitlaat nie.

Tydsone

Peru Time (PET) is 5 uur agter Gecoördineerde Universele Tyd (UTC / GMT). Daar is geen sonlig nie.

Geskiedenis

Peru se oudste komplekse samelewing genaamd die Norte Chico-beskawing het in 3000 vC gefloreer. Vroeë ontwikkelinge is gevolg deur antieke kulture soos Cupisnique, Chavin, Paracas, Mochica, Nazca, Wari en Chimu. In die 15de eeu het die Inkas na vore getree en die grootste beskaafde ryk in die Pre-Columbiaanse Amerika geword. Die Spaanse veroweraars het die Inca-ryk in die 16de eeu verower, maar terwyl hulle die aristokrasie uitwis, leef die boere, wat Quechua en Aymara gepraat het, vandag nog baie in Peru en naburige Andes-lande.

'N Kaart wat die visumvereistes van Peru toon
La Alpaca. Huayllay National Sanctuary

Visums

Toeriste van Noord-Amerika, Australië, Hongkong, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan en die Europese Unie ontvang 'n visum by aankoms vir tot 180 dae. Chinees (insluitend Macau) en Indië burgers wat Amerikaanse, VK, Kanada, Australië, Schengen-lande se visums of permanente verblyfreg het, ontvang 'n visum met aankoms vir tot 180 dae (raadpleeg die naaste Peruaanse ambassade of die Die Ministerie van Buitelandse Sake vir die mees opgedateerde inligting, hoewel dit in Spaans is).

As u die land binnekom, moet u die immigrasie-kantoor verbygaan (inmigración). Daar kry u 'n stempel in u paspoort wat aandui hoeveel dae u mag aanbly (gewoonlik 180 dae). U kan nie langer 'n verlenging kry nie, dus sorg dat u die hoeveelheid tyd vra wat u dink u benodig. As die 180 dae verby is en u langer wil bly, kan u die grens oorsteek na 'n buurland (Ecuador, Colombia, Brasilië, Bolivia of Chili) en keer die volgende dag terug en kry nog 180 dae, of betaal eenvoudig die boete wanneer u vertrek. Die oorblywende boete is VS $ 1 per dag, te veel, dus as u 30 dae langer bly, is dit US $ 30. Baie mense doen dit omdat dit baie goedkoper is as om die land te verlaat en terug te keer.

As u vertrek, moet u die emigrasie-kantoor besoek (migrasie), waar u die uitgangstempel kry. Inmigración en migrasie word op alle grensoorgangspunte aangetref. Om per land van en na buurlande te reis, is geen probleem nie.

Met die vliegtuig

Die hoofstad van Lima het Jorge Chávez Internasionale Lughawe (LIM IATA) met gereelde vlugte na / van regoor die wêreld. Die belangrikste lugdienste op die Jorge Chávez Internasionale Lughawe in Lima is Air Canada, Aeromexico, Aerolineas Argentinas, American Airlines, Avianca, Copa, Delta, Latam (voorheen LAN & TAM Airlines), Gol, Iberia, Copa Airlines, Sky Airlines, United Airlines, Viva. Onder andere Colombia. Daar is ononderbroke vlugte na Lima vanaf Antofagasta, Sao Paulo, Bogota, Caracas, Santiago, La Paz, Sucre, Guayaquil, Quito, Buenos Aires, Saltos, Rosario, ens., In Suid-Amerika; van Toronto in Kanada met Air Canada; en uit verskeie stede in die VSA met American, Delta, United, Spirit en Jetblue. Daar is vyf ekstra lugrederye wat ononderbroke diens aanbied Europa. Reisigers van Oseanië of Asië maak gewoonlik verbinding via Los Angeles (nie-Amerikaanse burgers moet immigrasie slaag selfs vir oordrag, wat 1-2 uur in beslag neem - sorg dus dat die tussenstop lank genoeg is!) of deur Santiago de Chile.

Die stad van Cuzco het direkte vlugte vanaf La Paz en Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia met Amazonas; van Bogota met Avianca Perú en van Santiago met Latam.

Byvoorbeeld, Iberia vlieg direk vanaf Madrid na Lima, die reis duur ongeveer 13 uur. Latam en KLM vlugte is egter baie beter. Latam en Iberia vlieg dikwels in die kode-delingsmodus (1 vliegtuig, 2 vlugkodes), wat beteken dat as u op 'n Latam-vlug is, moet u dalk by die Iberia-diensbalie of andersom aanmeld, soms stuur hulle u van die een na die ander en terug, so wag net by die korter diensbalie. Daar is 'n interne vlugbelasting, ongeveer US $ 6, dieselfde voorwaardes as die internasionale.

Wanneer u binnelandse vlugte bespreek, kan die Peruaanse reisagentskappe beweer dat u u vliegtuigkaartjies vir die "Peruaanse prys" teen ongeveer US $ 20 kan ontvang. Latam het die einde van 2017 die differensiële pryse afgeskaf, maar hul webwerf laat nie toe dat buitelandse kredietkaarte die goedkoopste kaartjieklas kan koop nie. U kan vlugte aanlyn koop. Dieselfde vir Avianca of LC Perú.

Bevestig u kaartjie 72 uur vantevore, want as u dit nie doen nie, loop u die kans om van u vlug afgestamp te word. Die meeste reisagentskappe kan dit vir u doen, as u wil.

Vir die huidige lugdiensinligting, sien die webwerf van die Internasionale lughawe Jorge Chavez.

Chavez-lughawe is in 'n gevaarlike distrik, wat beteken dat u nie lukraak taxidiens moet gebruik nie. As u van of na die Lima-lughawe reis, word dit sterk aanbeveel om die luukse te gebruik Airport Express Lima-bus om na of van u hotel te kom, of om u taxi te bespreek en te betaal by een van die taxi-maatskappye in die aankomingsarea. Die bus is goedkoper as 'n taxi vir alleenreisigers, het geen bagasiebeperking nie en het gratis WiFi en USB-laaiers aan boord.

Van Ecuador

Aangesien Ecuador Peru in die noorde buur, is dit maklik om goedkoop vlugte te vind wat Guayaquil en Quito met Lima verbind, (die middelpunt vir middestede in Peru). Of u kan per bus na Piura of Tumbes reis en 'n vlug neem na Lima.

Met die bus

Daar is internasionale busse wat Peru met die buurlande Bolivia, Ecuador, Chili en Colombia verbind. Daar is addisionele verbindings tot by Buenos Aires, Argentinië en Sao Paulo, Brasilië vanaf Lima via Tacna. Die volgende busmaatskappye bied internasionale verbindings na en uit Peru:

U kan meer inligting op RedBus.pe wat die uiteenlopende aantal maatskappye vergelyk.

Met die trein

Per boot

Die stad Iquitos in die Amazonas streek het verbind per boot na Leticia in Colombia en Tabatinga in Brasilië (ongeveer 10 uur). Daar is ook ietwat duur kruise aan die Amasone-rivier om die prag van die Peruaanse-Brasiliaanse oerwoud te geniet.

Kry rond

Tye en afstande

Byna alle belangrike toeristebestemmings buite Lima is tussen een en een en 'n half uur per vliegtuig vanaf die hoofstad. Vlieg is die maklikste manier om in Peru rond te kom. Van Lima na Zorritos in Tumbes (pragtige strand met moderne oorde) is die busreistyd byvoorbeeld 21 uur.

  • Yurimaguas-Iquitos (water): 2½ dae
  • Quito-Lima (bus): 27 uur
  • Lima-Cuzco (bus): 21 uur
  • Lima-Cuzco (vliegtuig): 1½ uur

In stede en omstreke

Mikro in Arequipa

Binne die stede is daar gewoonlik geen probleem om met stadsbusse of taxi's rond te kom nie. Busse kos S / 0,70-1,50 (sole) in 'n stad, taxi's S / 7-8 in Lima, gewoonlik minder in ander stede. "Taxi" beteken nie noodwendig 'n motor nie; die term verwys ook na fietse, motor-riksja's en motorfietse te huur. Huurmotors word verdeel tussen 'formele' taxi's, geverf en as sodanig gemerk en het 'n plakker met SOAT, en informele, dit is net motors met 'n ruitplakker waarop staan ​​'Taxi'. Die laaste moet beter aan die plaaslike inwoners oorgelaat word, veral as u nie Spaans praat nie. Afgesien van die meer luukse radiotaxi (ook die duurder), is die tarief nie vasgestel of gemeet nie, maar daar word met die bestuurder onderhandel voordat hy in die voertuig klim. Vra by u hotel of koshuis oor die tarief wat u kan verwag om na 'n spesifieke plek te ry om 'n verwysingspunt te hê. Wip word nie in taxi's beoefen nie.

"Micros" (van microbús), "combis" en "coasters", hulle het bushaltes, maar stop dalk ook in die middel van die pad. Die rigting word deur borde in die voorruit aangedui of aan die kant geverf. As u 'n bus wil neem, beduie die bestuurder net om te stop. As die bus nie heeltemal te vol is nie (en soms ook), sal dit stop om u op te laai. Tydens die rit sal die kaartjieversamelaar u die fooi vra, of as daar nie 'n kaartjieversamelaar is nie, betaal u die bestuurder wanneer u afklim. Laasgenoemde kom meer voor by langer reise waar die meeste mense laaste stop, byvoorbeeld van Ollantaytambo na Urubamba. As u wil verlaat, moet u die knoppie druk of net hard sê "¡Baja paradero!"of net ¡Bajo! (BAH-ho), en die bestuurder sal by die volgende stop (paradero) stop. Hulle is beknop en vuil, en is nie nuttig nie, behalwe in klein dorpies of gedurende spitstye. Hulle stop ook in die middel van die pad, dus wees versigtig wanneer u afklim.

Mikro's is baie algemeen, maar is bekend daarvoor dat dit redelik gevaarlik is, en verskillende regeringsprogramme probeer om die aantal mikro's te verminder. Dit word aanbeveel om nie 'n mikro te neem nie.

Met die vliegtuig

Vanweë die betrokke afstande en die omstandighede van die paaie in sommige afgeleë gebiede (of 'n gebrek aan), kan dit beter wees om te vlieg, wat die meeste mense doen, veral as u tussen Lima en Cuzco reis. Op sommige plekke, soos Iquitos, is die enigste moontlike manier om te vlieg weens die gebrek aan paaie en die beperkte aantal (of die gebrek) aan rivierbote wat in die waters loop om daarheen te kom. Die volgende lugdienste bied binnelandse dienste binne Peru aan:

  • Avianca Peru (voorheen Taca Peru). Die ander groot vervoerder bied plaaslike en internasionale dienste aan na ander dele van Suid-Amerika. Internasionale vlugte na / vanaf Noord-Amerika verbind gewoonlik deur El Salvador, Colombia of Costa Rica en via Avianca Colombia na / van Europa. (Mei 2016 opgedateer)
  • Latam (LAN Peru), (Miraflores-verkoopskantoor) Gem. José Pardo 513-Miraflores;, ☏ 51 1 213-8200. Die naaste ding aan 'n 'nasionale nalatenskap' met plaaslike en internasionale dienste na ander dele van Suid-Amerika en daarbuite. (Mei 2016 opgedateer)

Die volgende is kleiner vervoerondernemings wat hoofsaaklik binne Peru werksaam is:

  • Movil Air, ☏ 51 1 716-8000. Vlieg hoofsaaklik tussen die noordelike stede Chachapoyas, Chiclayo, Iquitos, Tarapoto en Trujillo in kleiner turbopropvliegtuie. Daar word beplan om addisionele bestemmings in te sluit. Filiaal van Movil Tours-buslyne. (Aug 2018 opgedateer)
  • Sky Airlines (Peru). (Mei 2019 opgedateer)
  • Ster Peru, ☏ 51 1 705-9000. (Mei 2016 opgedateer)
  • Viva Air Perú, ☏ 51 1 705-0107 (Lima-oproepsentrum), tolvry: 080078200. 'N Filiaal van Viva Colombia om binnelandse vlugte in Perú te bedryf en na bykomende stede in Colombia vanaf Lima. Soms bied dit belaglik lae pryse aan as u buigsaam is in u reisplanne. (Julie 2017 opgedateer)
  • [dooie skakel]Wayraperu, ☏ 51 1 222-3999. Vlugte slegs na Huanuco vanaf Lima. Daar word beplan om Chachapoyas en ander stede in te sluit. (September 2019 opgedateer)

Die meeste lugdienste werk op 'n naaf-en-spaak-stelsel via Lima eerder as punt-tot-punt. Om van een stad soos Iquitos na Cusco te kom, kan u dus na Lima vlieg om van vliegtuig te verander, selfs al is Lima in 'n ander rigting tussen die stede waarheen u reis en waarvandaan u reis. Verder bied die kaartjiestelsels moontlik nie via kaartjies nie, dus moet u dalk twee aparte kaartjies bespreek om te kom waarheen u oppad is. As u byvoorbeeld van Iquitos na Cusco wil reis, is daar moontlik geen kaartjies op enige tydstip beskikbaar nie. Maar as u een kaartjie na Lima en 'n ander na Cusco met dieselfde of ander lugdiens bespreek, is daar meer opsies beskikbaar. Maak seker dat u genoeg tyd (minstens 2 uur) spandeer tussen aankoms van Iquitos en vertrek na Cusco, veral as u met twee verskillende lugdienste reis om vermiste vlugte te vermy. Sommige lugdienste bied ook direkte vlugte aan sonder om deur Lima te vlieg, soos tussen Arequipa en Cusco.

Wees versigtig wanneer u aanlyn vlugprystelsels gebruik, want sommige pryse kan die kwalifikasie hê "Slegs vir inwoners". Hierdie vlugte kan steeds deur nie-inwoners gebruik word, maar die kaartjiepryse is hoër.

Met die bus

Bus en ander verkeer in Cuzco

Sommige hoofpaaie, veral langs die kusstrook, is geplavei, maar daar is steeds baie grondpaaie in 'n baie slegte toestand. In die reënseisoen kan grondstortings selfs groot paaie versper.

Reis deur die stad reis meestal met die bus, en sommige stede het treinverbindings. In kontras met colectivosbusse, en natuurlik treine, begin vanaf vaste punte, óf 'n sentrale busterminaal (na verwys as Terminale Terrestre of Terrapuerto) of die busondernemings hul eie terminale op verskillende plekke het. Dit is 'n goeie idee om u kaartjie een dag voor die tyd te koop, sodat u relatief seker kan wees om 'n sitplek te vind. As u direk voor die bus vertrek, loop u die gevaar dat daar nie meer sitplekke beskikbaar is nie. In die meeste busterminale moet u 'n aparte vertrekbelasting van S / 1-1.5 koop.

As u langer as 1,80 m is, sal u waarskynlik ongemaklik wees tydens die rit, aangesien die sitplekke baie strenger is as in Europa of sommige dele van Noord-Amerika. In hierdie geval kan u die middelste sitplek agter probeer kry, maar op grondpaaie swaai die agterkant swaar. In ouer busse is die sitplekke in die eerste ry die beste, maar baie busse het 'n bestuurderskajuit wat van die res van die bus geskei is, sodat u 'n donker skerm of 'n gordyn eerder as voor die voorruit uitkyk. In ouer busse kan u een of twee sitplekke langs die bestuurder kry, wat u 'n goeie uitsig op die verbygaande landskap gee.

Eersteklas-snelbusse, kompleet met video, bagasie en selfs maaltye, reis tussen groot stede, maar onthou om oorproppe saam te neem, want die video op hierdie busse kan vir die grootste deel van die reis ekstra hard gespeel word. U moet dalk 'n paspoort aanbied om 'n kaartjie te koop.

Maak seker dat u bagasie reënbestand is, aangesien dit gereeld op die dak van die bus vervoer word as u in die Andes reis.

Vermy busmaatskappye wat reisigers toelaat om van buite die amptelike stasies in die bus te klim. Hulle word normaalweg sleg bestuur en kan gevaarlik wees as gevolg van onveilige bestuurspraktyke en / of rooftogte op die snelweg, wat ongelukkig nie ongewoon is nie. Daaraan moet veral aandag gegee word deur vroulike reisigers wat alleen gaan of iemand wat oornag reis. Daar is baie slordige busdienste in Peru, en dit is die beste om saam met een van die groot ondernemings soos Cruz del Sur, Oltursa of ander te gaan. Kry inligting by die hotel-, koshuis- of toeriste-inligtingskas voordat u 'n rit gaan maak. Die volgende is die belangrikste busondernemings wat deur 'n groot deel van die land reis, wat betroubaarder is (adresse is hul Lima-terminale in / rondom San Isidro en La Victoria):

  • Peru Hop, Lima-kantoor: Centro Comercial "Torre Larco" Gem. Larco 812 Oficina 206. Miraflores Lima, ☏ 51 1 2422140, ✉. 09:30-19:00. Peru Hop is 'n hop-on, hop-off bustoer.

Aflaai by en by u koshuis of hotel, en afslag by baie koshuise en hotelle word aangebied. Busse ry gewoonlik daagliks, sodat u soveel of min tyd aan elke stop kan spandeer as wat u wil. Lima-Cusco kos US $ 179-199, en Cusco-La Paz kos US $ 59. Ander passe langs hierdie roete is in albei rigtings beskikbaar. Elke bus word deur 'n GPS-stelsel gemonitor en bied tweetalige hulp aan boord op alle passe. Baie roetes stop heeltemal van Januarie tot Februarie weens die weer (Maart 2018 opgedateer)

U kan meer inligting op RedBus.pe wat die uiteenlopende aantal maatskappye vergelyk.

Met die trein

Selfs as u per trein ry, is dit die beste om die kaartjie vooraf te koop. Koop eersteklas- of buffetklas (nog hoër), anders loop u die kans om heeltemal deur bagasie gedek te word. Mense sit hul bagasie onder u sitplek, voor u voete, langs u en oral waar daar ruimte is. Dit maak die reis nogal ongemaklik, want u kan nie meer beweeg nie en die uitsig op die landskap sleg is. Die volgende ondernemings bestuur passasierstreine in Peru:

  • Ferrocarril Central de Andino (FCCA), ☏ 51 1 226-6363. Die Ferrocarril Central Andino is die tweede hoogste spoorweg ter wêreld en die hoogste in Suid-Amerika, wat Lima verbind met Huancayo. Die reis aan boord van die Trein van die Andes, deur die hart van Peru, is eenvoudig asemrowend. Dit is 'n ervaring van 11 uur waar die trein 4781 m (15.681 voet) bereik en deur 69 tonnels, 58 brûe gaan en 6 sigsakke maak. In 2005 het Ferrocarril Central Andino hul passasierswaens op 'n luukse en gemaklike manier opgeknap wat die spoorlyn op die lys van die bekendste treine plaas. (Julie 2017 opgedateer)
  • Tren Macho. Een of twee keer per dag trein tussen Huancayo en Huancavelica. In Huancayo vertrek hierdie trein vanaf (of kom na) 'n ander stasie as die Central de Andino. (Julie 2017 opgedateer)
  • Inca Rail, (verkoopskantoor) Calle Portal de Panes 105, Plaza de Armas, Cusco, ☏ 51 84 581860. Treine na Machu Picchu (Aguas Caliente-stasie) vanaf Cusco en 'n tweede roete vanaf Ollantaytambo na Aguas Caliente. (Julie 2017 opgedateer)

Treine vanaf Cusco Wanchaq-stasie na Machu Picchu (via Ollantaytambo) deur die Heilige Vallei op die Belmond Hiram Bingham (luukser klas soos die Orient Express) en die Heilige Vallei treine; na Puno (by Titicacameer) via Juliaca en 'n derde roete van Cusco na Arequipa op die Belmond Andean Explorer. Hulle het ook 'n kaartjiekantoor in Miraflores Lima. Sommige variasies van die Sacre Valley-roetes na Machu Picchu kom oorspronklik van Urubamba na Aguas Caliente. (Julie 2017 opgedateer)

Te voet

Die begin van die Inka-roete

Behalwe die bekende Inka-roete na Machu Picchu, kan u heelwat meer staptogte langs die Sierra maak, verkieslik in die droë seisoen. Die stapper se mekka is Huaraz, waar u baie agentskappe kan vind wat begeleide toere en toerusting bied om te leen. Die dun plantegroei in die hoër Sierra maak staproetes maklik. Goeie kaarte is moeilik om binne Peru te vind. Dit is beter om hulle van die huis af te bring. Maak seker dat u genoeg jodium het om u drinkwater te suiwer. As u in hoër hoogtes stap, is goeie akklimatisering absoluut noodsaaklik. Neem 'n goeie slaapsak saam, aangesien nagte in die Sierra bitter koud kan word (-10 ° C in 4500 m hoogte is normaal, soms nog kouer). Pasop vir donderstorms wat baie skielik kan opkom. Vinnige dalende temperatuur en harde reënval is 'n ernstige gevaar in hoër hoogtes. Moenie vergeet dat die nag die hele jaar 12 uur duur nie, dus is 'n flits 'n goeie idee. Wanneer u op hoër, maar nie sneeubedekte berge stap, kan water skaars wees. Dit is maklik om alkohol vir stowe te kry: koop die blou kleur alkohol de quemar of, beter, koop suiwer drank. U kan dit in elke stad vir ongeveer S / 3 per liter kry (dink nie eers daaraan om dit te drink nie). Dit sal nie so maklik wees om spesiale brandstof vir petrolstowe te kry nie. Petrol vir motors kan ook in baie hardewarewinkels gevind word (ferreteria) per liter verkoop, maar u kan dit direk op vulstasies koop, mits u u eie bottel saambring.

Met die motor

Dit is ook moontlik om per motor deur die binneland van die land te toer. Dit gee u die kans om 'van die gebaande baan af te gaan' en 'n paar gebiede te ontdek wat nie deur toerisme getransformeer is nie. 'N Internasionale rybewys is nodig om in Peru te bestuur.

Peru het drie hoofpaaie wat van noord na suid loop: die volledig geplaveide Panamericana Sur / Norte (PE-1S / 1N) wat deur die hele land gaan; meer in die ooste is daar die gedeeltelik geplaveide Longitudinale de la Sierra Sur / Norte (PE-3S / 3N), Interoceánica Sur (PE-26) sowel as die Interoceánica Norte (PE-5N). Die meeste dele van hierdie paaie is tolpaaie in die rigting van noord na suid. Die hoofweë is verbind deur 20 strate van wes na oos.

Pas op dat, behalwe vir 'n paar groot paaie wat in 'n goeie toestand is, die meeste paaie ongeplaveide is en dat u spoed daarop streng beperk sal word. Vir hierdie paaie is 'n 4WD nodig. Dit geld veral gedurende die reënseisoen van November tot April. U moet baie goed ingelig wees oor u roete. Neem 'n goeie padkaart saam (bv. Waterdigte Peru-kaart deur ITMB). Op die web, cochera andina bied nuttige inligting oor padtoestande, reistye en afstande vir meer as 130 roetes in Peru.

Maak seker dat u baie petrol saambring, want vulstasies in onbevolkte gebiede kom baie skaars voor en sal dikwels gesluit wees. Om laat in die nag gas te koop, kan 'n avontuur op sy eie wees, want selfs in meer bevolkte gebiede is vulstasies geneig om vroeg te sluit en die pompe is gesluit. Die eienaar van die stasie slaap soms binne en as u hom kan opwek, sal hy uitkom en u volmaak. Verwag hoër petrolverbruik in die berge, wat dikwels styg tot meer as 20 L / 100 km (12 mpg).

Die verkeersregulasies is amper dieselfde as in Europa en die VSA. Maar plaaslike inwoners is geneig om dit vry te interpreteer. U moet beter toeter in onduidelike situasies, bv. in krommes en by kruisings om die reg van weg aan te dui. Verkeerscontrolepunte is gewoonlik verspreid oor die land en die polisie kan probeer om omkoopgeld uit buitelanders te haal vir deurgang. Dit sal verstandig wees om saam met 'n moedertaalspreker te reis wat die paaie kan navigeer en met wetstoepassing kan werk.

Touting

Daar hang gewoonlik 'n skare touts rond die lughawens en busstasies. Dit is 'n wyse besluit van enige reisiger om nie sake te doen met die mense wat hul goed op straat, busstasie en lughawe probeer verkoop nie. In die eerste plek, as hulle 'n ordentlike plek sou hê, sou hulle dit nie aan niksvermoedende toeriste hoef te verkoop om hulle weg te sleep van waar hulle dit ook al vind nie. Belangriker nog, dit is regtig nie 'n goeie idee om geld uit te deel aan die eerste persoon wat u ontmoet wanneer u êrens aankom nie.

Wenk: Wanneer u in 'n dorp aankom, moet u seker wees dat u reeds besluit het na watter hotel u gaan gaan. Moenie hierdie of enige ander inligting noem aan die touts wat op u wag nie. Hulle sal alles gebruik wat u vir hulle sê om leuens te vertolk, sodat u van plan verander en saam met hulle gaan. As u reeds 'n redelike hotel gekies het, is die kans dat u daar goed sal wees en dat u enige (ekstra) inligting sal hê waarna u sou soek, soos besprekings vir toere of kaartjies.

Praat

Die amptelike taal van Peru is Spaans, soos in die meeste Suid-Amerikaanse lande. Dit is die moeite werd om 'n paar basiese Spaanse woorde te leer ken, aangesien u dit nodig het om buite die belangrikste toerismesentrums te kom. Alhoewel 'n toenemende aantal jongmense in Lima Engels en in 'n beperkte mate op die gewildste toeristeplekke praat, vind u Engels baie minder algemeen as wat u sou verwag in 'n land waar toerisme so 'n groot bedryf is.

Veral as jy jou eie manier maak om iets te leer Quechua of Aymara kan deure oopmaak, want inheemse mense sal u moeite waardeer. Quecha is die taal van die Inkas en die eerste taal vir baie inheemse inwoners op die platteland van die Sierra. Aymara was die taal van die Tihuanacu-kultuur en word algemeen op die Altiplano gepraat. In albei gevalle praat mense egter gewoonlik ook Spaans.

Sommige slengterme:

bacán, koel.

chela (cerveza), 'n bier.

Ek llega, dit maak my kwaad.

Loco, mal mens. Word gewoonlik vriendelik gesê, beteken ook "maat, vriend, maat"

Tombo beteken 'polisieman' (en polisiemanne hoor dit nie graag nie).

Chibolo (a), 'n kind.

Bamba / pirata vals, vervalste goedere en produkte

Sommige slengterme kom uit Quechua:

Que piña: beteken 'watter ongeluk', alhoewel 'piña' in Quechua 'coraje' beteken of in Engels 'woedend'.

Tengo una yaya: beteken 'Ek is beseer'. In Quechua beteken 'yaya' besering. En 'yawar' beteken bloed.

Arranca arranca no mas: beteken 'kry die hel uit'

'N Lama wat uitkyk Machu Picchu
The Condor, een van die vele pragtige figure van die Nazca-lyne

Vergete tempels in digte Amazone-oerwoude, verlore Inca-stede, fantastiese natuurlewe en buitengewone folklore. Peru bevat al die dinge waaruit avontuurflieks bestaan.

Baie van die beste Inca-webwerwe is in die Inca Hooglande, rondom die pragtige stad van Cuzco, eens die hoofstad van die Inca-ryk en nou 'n wêrelderfenisgebied self, sowel as 'n bruisende stad. Book at least half a year in advance if you want to walk the famous 4-day hike Inca Trail, which commonly starts at the 15th century Inca dwellings of Ollantaytambo. Your imagination must be on its A-game to see past the large crowds at the end destination, Machu Picchu, but it's worth your trouble. Wait for the biggest crowds to leave, find a quiet spot away from the tourist hassle and contemplate your view of one of the most famous and spectacular archaeological sites in the world. Many other sites are in the neighboring Sacred Valley.

The list of great Peruvian ruins from Pre-Columbian times is long, and not all of them are of Inca origin. A World Heritage Site, the ancient adobe capital Chan Chan, built by the Chimú culture, was conquered in the 15th century. Other popular sites are the tombs of Sipán, the ruined fortress of Kuelap, the pre-Incan burial grounds of Sillustani, en Caral, the most ancient city in the Americas. Particularly well-known are the spectacular Nazca lines, which you should see from the air, even if it'll take some haggling to get your ticket for the right price.

Natural attractions

Home to 84 out of the 104 recognized ecological zones in the world, Peru is incredibly rich in biological diversity. Benefiting from a broad array of landscapes and ecosystems, this country is an extraordinary place for anyone who loves wildlewe. It's condors, llamas and jaguars that Peru is famous for, but almost a third of the bird species in the world and no less than 4000 butterflies live here too.

One of the best places to see all of this natural beauty is Manú National Park. This World Heritage Site boasts over 15,000 plant species, a 1000 different birds and some 220 mammals, including pumas, Giant anteaters and many monkeys. Disputably called the "world's deepest canyon", the stunning Colca Canyon is Peru's third most-visited destination, just a stones-throw out of the beautiful city of Arequipa. Get close to the celebrated Andean Condors as they fly along the high canyon walls or buy a colourful handmade souvenir from one of the indigenous people that populate the picturesque Colca Valley. Of all the peaks in the Peruvian Andes, the 6768m Huascarán in Huascarán National Park is the highest of all. This 3000-km² World Heritage Site holds 663 glaciers, 296 lakes and 41 tributaries of three major rivers. The large city of Iquitos is a popular starting point to discover the mystic Amazon River, one of the seven natural wonders of the world. It's also the capital city of the Charapa culture. Just a few other great picks out of the long list of protected areas in Peru are Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, Rio Abiseo National Park and Cutervo National Park (with many caves).

Folklore

The diversity of Peru's people and cultures is reflected in a rich tradition of festivals, dance and music. In the Andes, the plaintive wail of the flute and beat of the drum accompany songs depicting indigenous life while dancers masked as devils and spirits are a marriage of pagan and Christian beliefs. In the jungle, ceremonial music and dance are a window into tribal life. And along the coast, a blend of elegant Spanish sounds and vibrant African rhythms reflect the Conquest and later slave labor of the New World.

One of the shows you can not miss it is the Caballo de Paso Peruano in Lima and the north coast of Peru. The Concurso del Caballo de Paso Peruano is in april and it is a mix between the caballos and the dance called "marinera" which is the coastal cultural expression in Peru.

Other highlights

Make your way to the blue waters of Lake Titicaca for an enchanting, high altitude encounter with local peasant women wearing bowler hats and join in the celebrations of their ancient communities. Puno is a good place to start, also for a laid-back boat ride to the various islands and Altiplano towns on and around the lake, all with their own character and historic remains. If you're craving perfect beaches and a sunburn, head to the crowded sands and resorts of Piura/Tumbes. Spend a day in one of the many excellent museums in Lima and dance until the morning in one of the cities popular clubs. Buy shamanistic herbs at the market of Chiclayo and see the dozens of tombs around it.

Doen

Trekking is a great way to see the country. The most widely known route is the classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Other popular routes include Cordillera Blanca, Colca Canyon, Ausangate circuit en die Salkantay trail.

Trek prices can vary considerably between companies, as can their respective porters' working conditions (no pack animals are allowed, hence equipment is carried by human porters). Although there is a minimum porter wage (S/42 a day) and maximum load porters can carry (25 kg/55 lb), not all companies keep to their claims!

Exchange rates for Peruvian sol

Vanaf Januarie 2020:

  • US$1 ≈ S/3.3
  • €1 ≈ S/3.7
  • UK£1 ≈ S/4.3

Wisselkoerse wissel. Huidige tariewe vir hierdie en ander geldeenhede is beskikbaar vanaf XE.com

The currency of Peru is the sol (ISO code: PEN), symbolised as S/. It is one of the more stable currencies in South America.

Coins are available in five, two and one sol, and in 50, 20, 10, 5 and 1 centimo. 5 and 1 centimo coins are not normally accepted outside of big supermarkets or banks, so avoid them (or bring them home for a collection or to give to friends). s are available in 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 soles denominations; 200 soles notes are uncommon and – just like large bills in many countries – will not always be accepted.

ATMs

ATMs are available in big cities, upmarket hotels, and tourist areas. With a Cirrus or Maestro sign on it, you can withdraw cash easily. The exchange rate is the same as credit cards.

The withdrawal limits are generally low and withdrawal fees are high (Feb 2018):

  • Scotiabank: limit S/400, fee S/20
  • Globalnet ATMs: limit S/400, fee S/19
  • BBVA: limit S/400, fee S/18
  • Banco de la Nacion: limit S/400
  • BanBif: limit S/700, fee S/18
  • Banco de Crédito del Perú (BCP): limit S/700, fee S/13.50, but you can only do this once per calendar month with each foreign card

Credit cards and money exchange

Make sure to carry sufficient cash when visiting smaller towns, as your credit card or travelers checks might not be accepted there.

Credit cards and travelers checks are common. Although cash has a ~2% better change rate, don't carry large amounts of cash on your journey. The Banco de Credito (BCP) gives good rates on traveler checks.

Rates in change offices are often somewhat worse. It's always worth comparing them before changing your money. When changing your money in change offices, check their calculations. Most of them make calculations on the fly for the amount you want using an electronic calculator in plain view, even showing you the process step by step (unless they are brutally obvious, like changing tens or hundreds). If they moenie show, keep the money in your pocket and find someone that does.

Banknotes

Typically, small bills are very helpful to carry around. Change large bills into small ones as often as possible. If you only have 50 and 100 soles notes with you, consider changing them at a bank. Local merchants and taxistas often claim to not have any change on them, forcing you to wait in public while they search for some (potentially dangerous) and sometimes with the hope that you'll grow impatient and let them keep the change.

In Peru, it's not as common for US dollars to be accepted in transactions as in other countries (such as Ecuador), but some nice, new 10 or 20 US dollar bills can be helpful in some situations. Often in small towns, local shops will change money for you. If so, it will be clearly marked.

Counterfeiting

Counterfeiting is a big problem in Peru – more sophisticated stores use a machine to inspect notes, while others will simply refuse to accept suspicious or worn currency.

It's a big problem in Peru: make sure to get familiar with the money and do not hesitate to reject any note or coin (especially the S/5 coins) that look suspicious, just like any Peruvian would do. In other words, if you want to look like a savvy foreigner, take 10 seconds to check any paper note you get, even at a bank. All bills have a watermark and security stripe, and the large number on the extreme right denoting the denomination of the bill will change from purple to green when viewed at an angle. Don't take any note that is ripped; you won't be able to use it anywhere else but a bank.

If you are stuck with a counterfeit coin or note, if you try to use it at big stores they may want to confiscate it. Don't accept damaged or ripped bills, since you will have to take them to a bank in order to change them into new ones before you can spend them. Be especially careful when exchanging money with money-changers on the street (a common way for counterfeit money to enter the money supply) or at the border (notably the one with Ecuador).

Inkopies

Koste

If you're on a budget, you can get around well for US$50 a day. Basic hotels or hostels (hospedajes) are available everywhere, with dorm beds in youth hostels typically costing US$8-15. You'll find plenty of very cheap restaurants (US$0.50-1.50) but for slightly more (US$2-3) you'll get an often much better lunch or dinner at better restaurants. Fancy restaurants are available in every city, with menus starting from US$20.

Buses are a fairly cheap way to get around. A 10-hour bus ride in a normal bus (not "Royal Class" or something like that) will set you back about US$20. If you can afford it, the more luxurious seats go for about double the price but will make a great difference in terms of comfort. Avoid bus companies that allow travellers to get into the bus outside the official stations. They are often badly managed and can be dangerous, due both to unsafe practices or to highway robberies, which are unfortunately not uncommon. This should be heeded especially by female travellers on their own. Your hotel, hostel or a local tourist information booth can point you to the better options.

Trains (except the ones for Machu Picchu, which are relatively expensive) run for similar fees.

Don't forget to retain your exit fee of US$30.25 They accept US dollars or soles for the fee. Be sure to pay the exit fee before you get in line for security checks or you'll get to wait again.

Bedinging

Bedinging is very common. If you are not used to it, respect some rules. If you intend to buy something, first ask the price, even if you already know what it actually should cost. Then check whether everything is all right. (Does the pullover fit you? Do you really want to buy it? Is the expiration date on the cheese exceeded? etc.) If the price is OK, pay it. If not, it's your turn to say a lower price, but stay realistic. First get an idea about how much you would expect to pay. Then say a price about 20-30% lower. It's always good if you can give some reason for that. Once you have said a price, you cannot give a lower one later. This would be regarded as a very impolite behavior. If you feel that you can't get your price, just say "No, gracias." and begin to walk away. This is your last chance. If you are lucky, the seller will give you a last offer, if not, say "No, gracias." again and go on walking. Realize that most of the products in touristy markets (i.e. the market in Pisac) will be sold in nearly every other market throughout your travels in Peru and South America, so try not to worry about never again finding that particular alpaca scarf.

You have a way for bargaining without saying an exact price, and it's saying "¿Nada menos?", then you will be asking just if they can lower a bit the price.

Keep in mind: Never begin to bargain if you don't really want to buy.

Handwerk

Colorful handicraft in making

Peru is famous for a lot of different, really nice and relatively cheap handicrafts. Keep in mind that buying handicrafts support traditional skills and helps many families to gain their modest income. Look for:

  • Pullovers, and a lot of other alpaca-woolen products in all the Sierra. Puno is maybe the cheapest place.
  • Wall carpets (tejidos).
  • Carvings on stone, wood and dried pumpkins.
  • Silver and gold jewellery.
  • traditional musical instruments like pan flutes (zampoñas), skin drums.

Doen nie accept any handicrafts that look like (or actually are) pre-Columbian pottery or jewelry. It is illegal to trade them and there is the possibility not only of them being confiscated, but of being prosecuted for illegal trading, even if the actual artifacts are copies or fakes. Dealing with the police from the criminal side is messy and really unpleasant.

Buyer beware: Watch out for fake (Bamba) Alpaca wool products many items sold to the unsuspecting gringo are actually synthetic or ordinary wool! That nice soft jumper in the market for US$8 or so is most certain to be acrylic. Even in places such as Puno there is no easy way to tell if it is made from Alpaca, sometimes it might have a small percentage of Alpaca mixed in with other fibres. Baby Alpaca is not from baby animals but the first shearing and the fibre is very soft and fine. Generally Alpaca fibre has a low lustre and a slightly greasy hand to it and is slow to recover from being stretched. Shop and compare.

Coca

Do not bring coca products home.

Coca leaves and derived products (unless decocainized) are illegal in the vast majority of countries, under the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. Even just bringing home a box of coca tea may subject you to very severe drug trafficking laws. Also, while coca is legal in Peru, buying or selling cocaine is illegal.

Decocainized coca products are not generally available in Peru, and vendors may assure you that processed coca products (like tea) are fine to bring home, but this is wrong. It is legal to purchase and consume coca products in Peru (other than cocaine), and it is likely legal to purchase decocainized coca products (like Coca-Cola, or decocainized coca tea) in your home country, but importing coca products is illegal.

Instead of coca tea, consider emoliente, a traditional herbal tea of coastal regions, widely available in Lima.

While in Peru, in addition to coca tea and coca leaves, you may also find coca candies, coca beer, etc. The Museo de la Coca in Cuzco sells a wide variety of coca products.

Tips

Giving tips in restaurants (at least when basic or middle-range) is not very common but 10% for good service is polite. In the cities, you will always find some beggars, either sitting on the streets, or doing a musical number on the buses. If you choose to give, typical donations are about S/0.10-0.20 (US$0.03-0.06). This may not sound like much, but keep in mind that some unskilled workers don't get much more than S/10 for a hard working day. Whether you want to give money to child beggars or not is your decision, but consider that doing so may make it more attractive for parents to send their children begging in the street instead of sending them to school. Buy them food instead; hulle doen need it.

Shops and supermarkets

Supermarkets can only be found in cities and are somewhat expensive. In every town, there is at least one market place or hall, except Lima that has a dense concentration of supermarkets, malls and department stores. In cities, there are different markets (or sections of one big market) for different articles.

Stores with similar articles tend to be grouped in the same street. So, if you once know the appropriate street when looking for something special, it shouldn't be no more problem to find it quite soon.

Eet

Chanfainita is one of Peru's many beef organ dishes, mostly made of lungs
Peruvian purple corn is the base for many dishes and drinks, including the popular purple sweet custard (mazamorra morada)

Peruvian cuisine is among the most varied in the world. Not only does the country grow a variety of fruits and vegetables, but it does so throughout the year. Peruvian geography offers at least 8 different climates (desert along the coast, steep and high mountains, the Amazon basin). In Lima, due to its history as an important Spanish colonial port, the dishes are a mixture of amerindian, Spaniard, African, Asian and even Italian influences that contribute to the ever changing platos criollos (creole dishes). Rice is the staple foodstuff, and expect many dishes to include rice, in the Siera it's corn and potatoes, and in the Jungle yuca. Meat is traditionally included in most Peruvian dishes. Chicken (pollo), pork, sheep and beef are common. Alpacas are actually kept for wool, not for meat. Mostly, you will find that alpaca meat is rather tough. An Andean delicacy is guinea pig (cuy). Peruvian cuisine includes dishes which use various organs, including anticuchos, a kebab made from very marinated and spicy beef heart, and cau-cau (sounds like cow-cow), made from cow stomach served in a yellow sauce with potatoes. Anticuchos are a standard street stall food, but be careful with it.

Vis can be found along the coast (of course), but also in the jungle area since the rivers supply fresh fish (but beware of contamination in the area known as high jungle or selva alta, where most of the cocaine is made and strong chemicals get dumped into rivers; mining is a minor source of pollution in this area). In the Sierra, trout (truchas) are bred in several places. A very common fish dish is ceviche, raw fish prepared by marination in lime juice. Popular variations of the dish can include shellfish, and even sea urchin. The exact recipe and mode of preparation of ceviche will vary from region to region. Definitely worth a try, especially in summer, but cleanliness and sanitation make all the difference. Use care when buying from street vendors and remember that it is often served spicy.

Throughout Peru there is a wide variety of potato dishes (papas as in Spain), the traditional Andean vegetable. Papa a la Huancaina is a tasty dish of potato slices and diced boiled egg topped with a thin, creamy yellow sauce, and usually includes a lettuce leaf and an olive or two. (A similar green sauce, called Ocopa, can be served over potatoes or yuca.) Papa rellena is mashed potato reformed into a potato-like shape, but with meat, vegetables, and other spicy filling in the middle. Aji de gallina is shredded chicken in a thick, spicy, cheese-based sauce over sliced potatoes, often with an olive and slice of hard-boiled egg. Causa is mashed potato layered with mayonnaise-based tuna or chicken salad mixed with hot peppers.

Many Peruvian dishes can contain strong condiments and be heavy, so if you have a weak stomach, proceed with caution.

Nowadays, the transport routes from the flat jungle areas are good enough to supply all the country with vegetables and fruits. Nevertheless, groente still have the status of a garnish for the meat. Vegetarian restaurants exist in all cities, but are relatively rare. In most areas, there is a rich offering of tropical fruits and fresh squeezed juices.

The natives typically eat in small restaurants or Chinese eateries ("chifas"); a menu there costs S/5-8 and includes a soup, a choice of main dish, and a drink.

Peruvians are quite proud of their desserts, especially in Lima. Try them with care, since they tend to be extremely sweet and loaded with sugars, eggs yolks and similar ingredients. Probeer mazamorra morada, or purple custard, made from the same purple corn used for chicha morada drink; together with arroz con leche (rice with sweetened condensed milk) is called a combinado (combination). Picarones are a sort of donut, made from fried yams dough and served with chancaca, a very sweet sugarcane syrup. And the sweetest dessert suspiro a la limeña is perfect if you are in sore need of a high-calorie glucose shock. Panetón is a type of sweet bread with dried fruit. It is usually served for breakfast around Christmas with a cup of hot chocolate. They used to come in big boxes only with huge panetóns inside but now they also sell personal portions. Chocotón is variety of panetón that replaces the fruit with chocolate bits. The bread is very light and sweet. Because Christmas is the hottest time of year, people often replace the hot chocolate with coffee or a drink that's served cold.

Drink

The Pisco-Nazca area is famous for wine cultivating. Their more expensive vintages compare favorably against Chilean imports. Beer is nice, stronger than American brands but less full bodied than European ones. Most of Peruvian beers are made by Backus, which is owned by SAB Miller.

When drinking at bars and/or restaurants, be aware that Peruvian "Happy Hour" is a little different than in most countries. Prices for drinks will usually be posted on the walls and be a little cheaper than normal. The real differences is that you will be served 2 drinks, instead of one, for the listed price -- giving a new meaning to the term "half price." This can be a great way to save money (if you are travelling with a group) or to meet locals (if you are travelling alone). It can also lead you to get completely falling-down-drunk by accident, so be careful.

  • Caliente is a hot alcoholic drink served during celebrations in Andean towns such as Tarma. Its basically a herbal tea with white rum for that added kick.
  • Chicha de Jora, A cheap traditional alcoholic drink made from corn that is fermented and rather high in alcohol content for a non-distilled beverage. Not normally available at formal restaurants and quite uncommon in Lima outside of residential areas. Places that sell chicha have a long stick with a brightly-colored plastic bag on it propped up outside their door.
  • Chicha morada, not to be confused with the previous one, is a soft drink made from boiled purple corn, with sugar and spices added (not a soda). Quite refreshing, it is widely available and very recommendable. Normally Peruvian cuisine restaurants will have their freshly made supply as part of the menu; it is also available from street vendors or diners, but take care with the water. Bottled or canned chicha morada is made from concentrates and not as pleasant as freshly-boiled chicha.
  • Coca Tea of Mate de Coca, a tea made from the leaves of the coca plant. It is legal to drink this tea in Peru. It is great for adjusting to the altitude or after a heavy meal. It may be found cold but normally is served hot.
  • You can find many places that serve fresh fruit drinks. Peru has a wide variety of fruits since its natural variety, so if you get a good "jugueria" you will have lots of options to choose from.
  • The Peruvian Amazon cities offer some typical drinks too such as: masato, chuchuhuasi, hidromiel en ander.
  • Koffie. Peru is the world's largest producer of organic coffee. Ask for 'cafe pasado', the essence produced by pouring boiling hot water over fresh ground coffee from places like Chanchamayo.
  • All of Peru's wines are inexpensive. Tacama, Ocucaje and Santiago Queirolo branded wines are the most reliable.
  • Emoliente. Another popular drink in Peru, often sold in the streets by vendors for 50 centimos. Served hot, its flavor is best described as a thick, viscous tea, but surprisingly refreshing - depending on what herb and fruit extracts you choose to put into it, of course. Normally the vendor's mix will be good enough if you choose not to say anything, but you're free to select the mix yourself. Normally sold hot, is the usual after-party drink, as a "reconstituyente", but it can be drunk cold too.
  • Inca Kola
    Inca Kola. The Peruvian equivalent of Coca Cola in the rest of the world, which has been purchased by Coca Cola yet retains its unique taste. It is bright yellow and has a unique flavor. It tastes like Hierba Luisa.
  • Pisco Sour. An alcoholic drink with an interesting ingredients list, such as egg whites, that is the main drink in Peru and is available in most places. It is made from Pisco, a Peruvian kind of brandy that is worth a try; it is a strong drink as pisco is over 40% (around 70-80 proof) spirit, and the sweet taste can be deceiving. Since Chile registered the brand Chilean Pisco for commercial purposes in some countries, Peruvian producers decided to defend the denomination of origin (Pisco is a very old city in Peru) by being very strict about the quality standards. Be sure that you will find a very high quality product in any brand of Pisco made in Peru.

Bier

Some large towns have their own brand of beer which is hard to get elsewhere in the country. Cusqueña is one of the most popular beers while Cristal is known as the beer of Peru, both can be found nation-wide.

  • Arequipeña
  • Brahma
  • Cristal
  • Cusqueña
  • Franca
  • Pilsen Callao
  • Pilsen Trujillo

Slaap

Hotels in Peru are very common and fairly cheap. They range from 1 - 5 stars. 5 star hotels are normally for package tourism or business travel, and very common outside of Lima for most visited tourist attractions such as Cuzco/Machu Picchu with amazing landscapes, Paracas (to flight over the Nazca Lines), Tumbes with great beach resorts, and of course in Lima with international and Peruvian companies. All of them under international standards and expensive, but really worthwhile to try them. 4 star hotels are usually a bit on the expensive side (>US$80 per night) and common in the large cities. 3 star hotels are a good compromise between price and quality and usually US$30-50. 2 and 1 star hotels are very cheap (

In many cities there are hotels in residential areas, but they are not tourist hotels but "couples" rooms for lovers. They are usually signed as "Hostel", which can confuse the unaware traveller thinking it was for backpackers.Lately there have being a huge development of guesthouses, backpackers lodging, bed and breakfast, and also vacation rentals (apartments for short term rent). So, the lodging options are more varied now.

Leer

Peruvian Spanish, particularly on the coast, is clearer than European Spanish and Spanish from other Latin American countries, especially México, Colombia and Chile. People generally don't tend to speak too fast, though they use slang quite liberally. On the whole, Peru is a good and cheap place to embark on Spanish courses (once you are there).

Werk

While there a very limited options for unskilled work and local wages are very low, teaching English or other language tutoring is an option.

Volunteering

Working as a volunteer, learning Spanish and seeing the country on a shoestring is popular with many travellers in South America. Mostly people with lot of time opt for this kind of travelling, getting to know the country and its people.

Volunteering can be done as part of a large organisation, or for local families. When working with or for local families, they often provide you with food and accommodation for about 3-5 hr work per day. Such engagements can be found with any of the following websites, which differ by length and type of stay: Workaway, HelpX, Wwoof, en Worldpackers. The website generally demand a small commission or a yearly fee.

Use the rating system of these websites to determine good and reliable hosts. And beware, many locals just use those websites to find cheap labour, offering a terrible experience, sometimes no food or no decent accommodation. Avoid such offers, which are just badly managed businesses, and opt for placements that really depend on volunteers (like green farming, education, NGOs, etc.).

In general, avoid paying for volunteering. You can also contact a bunch of international NGOs and let them know you are interested in working for them. Sometimes you can also get a paid job after doing some volunteer work. Just be clear that you are able to stay a fixed amount of time for unpaid work, and that you would need some money to continue your work.

Night in Lima

Dial 911 for all emergency services, but dialing the old 105 can also connect you with the police. In Lima and some of the larger cities there is a sort of local police called "Serenazgo": you may ask for help but they have no tourist oriented services.

  • Be aware of your surroundings and try to avoid unlit or unpopulated areas, especially at night. There is a lot of petty crime that can turn violent. Avoid groups of male youngsters since there are many small gangs trying to rob passers-by. If you witness a robbery be very careful before intervening, since robbers may be armed and are quite prone to shooting if they feel threatened.
  • Armed robberies of tourists are fairly common.
  • A dirty old backpack with valuable contents is safer than a new one with old clothes in it. It's often good not to look too rich.
  • Some travelers don't use wallets, but keep the bills and coins directly in their pocket. Let's say some little bills on the left side and the rest on the right side. Thus, the pickpocket's job gets much harder.
  • Don't walk around with debit or credit cards in your pocket. Leave them in a safe place when you do not immediately need them, because tourists have been kidnapped and forced to take out money each day for a period of a few days.
  • If you want to take large amounts of cash out with you, a neck wallet is always a good idea - you can hide it under your shirt.
  • Watch out for false bills. Every bank has posters that explain what to check for when getting higher valued bills. The only security element that has not been falsified is the bichrome 10, 20, 50, 100 or 200 now also used on US$ bills. Don't be shy about checking any bills you receive. Most Peruvians do so, too. You may get false bills even at upscale places or (quite unusually, but it's been known to happen) banks, so check there too.
  • A possible petty scam is to replace 5-Soles coins with very similar-looking 5-Boliviano coins when giving change. Bolivianos are worth about half the amount of Soles, but you will likely be out the whole amount, considering Bolivian currency is useless in Peru.
  • Small quantities of drugs for personal use or possession (up to 2 g for powdered cocaine or 8 g for marijuana) are permitted by law (Section 299 of the Penal Code of Peru) provided that the user is in possession of only one type of drug. However, though possession in these amounts is legal, buying or selling these drugs is illegal.
  • When taking a taxi, take a quick look in the back seat and in the trunk, to make sure there is nobody hiding there. There have been reports of armed robberies/kidnappings taking place in taxis. Afterwards, tourists are blindfolded and driven outside the city and left behind by the highway.
  • At the border crossing from Ecuador (Huaquillas) to Peru people have tried to steal passports by acting like plain-clothed police officers. They give you another form to fill in which is fake. This has taken place although police and customs personnel have been next to them.
  • When traveling on buses, it is recommended to keep your backpack under your seat with the strap hooked around your leg.

Polisie

  • Tourist police are dressed in white shirts, instead of the usual green ones, and normally speak English and are quite helpful to tourists. The common police officer does not speak any other language but Spanish but normally will try to help.

Dealing with the police can take a lot of time. In order to get a copy of a police report you need to go to a Banco de la Nación and pay S/3. Without this the police won't give you a copy, and you can only arrange this during working days.

Natural disasters

Located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, earthquakes may occur in Peru. If you're near the coast when the ground starts shaking, beware of tsunamis.

Bly gesond

Food safetyEnjoy the food, but be judicious, lest you contract diarrhea, dysentery, or a more serious disease such as a parasitic infestation that could ruin your trip. Thoroughly cooked food is most likely to be safe. Food that's been left out too long or landed on by flies could make you sick. Seafood can go bad particularly easily. Raw fruits and vegetables can be dangerous unless you can safely peel them without touching the pulp inside, or at least wash them in safe (not unboiled tap) water. Bananas and papayas are the safest fruits.

KraanwaterTap water is unsafe to drink or use for brushing your teeth in Peru, unless you boil it. Bottled water is cheap and tastes better than boiled water. Check the bottle to make sure that it has not been opened and refilled. In restaurants, (if you don't trust them) you could ask for the bottle of water to be opened in your presence. Ice cubes are ideally made with purified water, however avoid ice if in doubt.

Insect bitesAvoiding insect bites reduces the risk of contracting diseases transmitted by mosquitoes such as yellow fever, dengue fever, leishmaniosis and malaria. Consider wearing long sleeves and read Pests#Mosquitoes for other useful advice.

Zika virusZika is a mosquito-borne and sexually transmitted infection that can cause serious birth defects. Travellers who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy should avoid travel to Peru or follow strict mosquito bite prevention measures.

RabiesThere have been reported cases of rabies in Peru, so beware of animals that behave strangely around you and get treatment immediately if you are bitten.

Heat and sunDo not expect to become quickly acclimated to the heat, especially in the jungle. Avoid exhaustion, heat stroke and sunburn by taking sensible precautions, including drinking plenty of safe water and not waiting to feel thirsty before taking a sip.

Accidents and injuriesAccidents and injuries produce more deaths of travellers than diseases, so be alert. Aside from normal precautions, you might want to avoid riding a bicycle or motorcycle in Peru if you are not very advanced.

Neem 'n first aid kit, especially if you plan to hike in the countryside during your visit.

Vaccinations and prophylaxis

Landscape in the Peruvian Amazonas

The quantity and type of vaccines necessary to travel to Peru depend on several factors, including your medical history and which parts of the country you plan to visit. The vaccines most commonly needed to travel to Peru are against tetanus, diphtheria, typhoid fever, hepatitis A and B, yellow fever, rabies and meningitis. Some of these require more than one dose or significant waiting time before they become effective. Therefore, you should inquire about necessary vaccines 6 to 8 weeks before your trip.

Hepatitis A and Typhoid fever vaccinations are recommended for all travellers.

The government of Peru recommends Yellow fever vaccine for all travellers who are going to visit forest areas (Amazonia) below 2,300 m (7,546 ft). Travellers that only visit coast or highlands do not need the vaccine for yellow fever.

The vaccine for yellow fever is also required for all travellers who arrive from countries in Africa and the Americas where the disease is endemic. Yellow fever has been reported in Cuzco, San Martín, Loreto, Pasco, Amazonas, Ancash, Ayacucho, Huánuco, Junín, Madre de Dios, Puno and Ucayali. More information is available from the Vaccination Center Perú[dooie skakel].

Hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for travelers who believe they might have sex in the country, especially if the visit is for more than 6 months.

The rabies vaccine is recommended for travelers who could have close contact with infected animals while not in range of a hospital, but if you are bitten, get medical help as soon as possible in any case, as the prophylactic rabies vaccine is not sufficient to prevent a rabies infection, which is almost always fatal once symptoms start.

Two doses of the measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) are recommended for all travellers who have not received this vaccine before.

A tetanus/diphtheria booster is recommended every 10 years.

For more information, see our article on infectious diseases and consult a doctor.

Malaria is present in parts of Peru. There is no risk of malaria in the big cities like Lima and surrounding areas or in areas above the 1500 m (4,921 ft). However, you could be at risk: (1) on the coast north of the country (Tumbes, Piura, Lambayeque); (2) in the Amazon region: Loreto department (Iquitos), San Martin, Ucayali, Just as Amazon (chachapoyas), Cajamarca (Jaen). There have also been reported cases of malaria in Cuzco Department (Province of Concepción away from the tourist area of Machu Picchu) and Madre de Dios. Take appropriate precautions — and if advised by a physician, prophylactic medications — if you plan to visit these areas.

Pharmacies

Common medicines, like antibiotics, can be bought in pharmacies (farmacias of boticas)quite cheaply and without restrictions. However, make sure the expiration date has notbeen reached. Pharmacists are mostly very helpful and can be consulted if needed.For less serious illnesses, they may replace a doctor.

Diarrhea

Electrolytic drinks help guard against dehydration. You can get powders to dissolve in water in almost every pharmacy. If not, just dissolve sugar and salt in water. But don't forget to use safe water, not unsafe tap water! Bacterial diarrhea can be treated with antibiotics, if itdoesn't vanish during a week. Usually, pharmacies are quite helpful.

Altitude

If you do not have experience with higher altitudes above 3,500 m (12,000 ft), don't underestimate it! It is not unusual for unacclimatized tourists to faint. If you are coming from sea level,stay at a medium height of about 3,000 m (10,000 ft) for at least one week. Then, altitudes of around 4,500 m (15,000 ft) should not be a risk, although you still will strongly feel the height.

Sunburn

Sunset in Cuzco

Since Peru is close to the equator, the sun can become dangerous for your skin and eyes. Especially in the Sierra, the strong UV radiation due to the height in combination with the rather cold air may burn your skin before you notice it. Sun-blockers are easy to get in drug stores (boticas). If your eyes are sensitive to light, bring good UV-blocking sunglasses from home. Of course, you can buy sunglasses in Peru, too, but you should really be sure that they block the whole UV spectrum; otherwise, they might be worse than none.

Sanitary facilities

Outside of obviously well-set up restaurants and hotels in cities and towns, toilets are often quite primitive and sometimes really dirty. It's a good idea to bring your own paper with you, as Peruvian toilet paper may be too rough as well as being one ply. Toilet doors are marked with "baño", "S.H." or "SS.HH.". The latter two are abbreviations for servicio higienico, which is the rather formal expression. Expect to pay no more than 20 centimos at public restrooms for paper and 50 cents to 1 dollar to enter the bathroom.

In hostels or budget hotels, you cannot rely on having water all the time. In the Andean region, it also can easily happen that showers min of meer warm water slegs die middag hê, aangesien die water slegs deur sonenergie verhit word. Elektries verhitte storte is wydverspreid, maar die elektriese installasie is soms baie gevaarlik, aangesien die boiler meestal by die stortkop geleë is. Kyk daarna voordat u die stort aanskakel, veral as u lank genoeg is dat u die kabels of ander metaal kan aanraak terwyl u stort en u self kan elektrisiseer. Wees egter nie te paranoïes nie, want hierdie elektriese skok is gewoonlik pynlik eerder as lewensgevaarlik.

As vrou, as jy gebruik tampons gedurende u tydperk, moet u dit van die huis af saambring, want hulle is nie baie gewild in Peru nie. In Lima kan u dit vind in supermarkkettings soos Tottus, Wong, Metro, Plaza Vea of ​​by apteke / apteke, bekend as farmacias en boticas. As u dit kry, koop genoeg vir die res van die reis, want dit is feitlik onbekend in die res van die land. Alternatiewelik kan u 'n menstruasiebeker inpak, want dit is herbruikbaar en kompak.

Respek

Moenie die woord gebruik nie indio, al is dit Spaans. Vir inboorlinge hou dit baie van die Engelse n-woord, omdat dit deur Spaanse veroweraars gebruik is. Die polities korrekte manier van praat is el indígena of la indígena - hoewel, soos die n-woord, baie nabye mense binne 'n vriendekring daarmee kan wegkom. 'N Ander woord om mee versigtig te wees, is cholo, chola, of cholita, betekenis indígena. Dit kan liefdevol onder inheemse mense gebruik word (dit is byvoorbeeld 'n baie algemene benaming vir 'n kind), maar dit is aanstootlik van 'n buitestaander. Die n-woord word gebruik, maar op 'n snaakse / speelse manier, dus as u dit in die straat hoor, moet u nie dadelik aanstoot neem nie.

Al het u ongeveer 20 Geen dwelms nie t-hemde by die huis aanvaar, aanvaar dat mense - veral van die platteland - kokablare kou. Sien dit as 'n deel van die kultuur met sosiale en rituele komponente. Hou in gedagte dat kokaiblare nie kokaïen is nie en wettig is. U kan hulle probeer om die kultuur te ervaar. Probeer a as u dit nie wil kou nie maat de hojas de coca (ook baie effektief teen hoogtesiekte). Die gebruik van kokaiblaartee kan egter binne die volgende paar weke tot 'n positiewe toetsing in Noord-Amerikaanse dwelmtoetse lei.

Amptelik is die meeste Peruaanse Rooms-Katoliek, maar veral op die platteland is die antieke pre-Spaanse godsdienstigheid nog steeds lewendig, en sinkretiese vorme van katolisisme en inheemse godsdiens is algemeen (maar moenie aanstoot neem aan hierdie 'dwaalleer' as u redelik godsdienstig is nie) ). Respekteer dit as u tempelruïnes of ander rituele plekke besoek, en tree op asof u in 'n kerk is.

Verbind

In almal, behalwe in die kleinste dorpies, kan 'n mens vind openbare telefone vir nasionale en internasionale oproepe. Die meeste is in kroeë of winkels. Sommige van hulle aanvaar muntstukke, maar pas op vir vasgesteekte munte of dodelike muntontvangers, want dit kan u geld verloor. Moenie bekommerd wees as u 1 Nuevo Sol-muntstukke eers nie deurgaan nie, probeer maar net en dit sal uiteindelik werk. Baie openbare telefone kan duur wees, en 'n aantreklike alternatief is 'n Locutorio, of "inbelsentrum". Tipiese tariewe sluit in S / 0,2 per minuut vir oproepe in die land, en S / 0,5 per minuut vir die meeste internasionale oproepe.

U kan ook koop telefoon kaarte met 'n 12-syfer geheime nommer daarop. Skakel eers met behulp van 'n telefoonkaart 147. As u dit doen, sal u vertel word hoeveel u kaart nog geldig is en word u (natuurlik in Spaans) om u geheime nommer gevra. Nadat u dit getik het, word u gevra vir die telefoonnommer waarmee u wil koppel. Tik dit in. Dan word u vertel hoeveel tyd u kan praat. Daarna word die verbinding probeer.

Vir internasionale oproepe, is dit dikwels 'n goeie idee om na 'n Internet kafee wat bied Internet-gebaseerde telefoon oproepe. U kry dit in die stede. Internetkafees, in Peru genoem cabinas públicas, groei soos sampioene in Peru en as u nie regtig op die platteland is nie, behoort dit glad nie 'n probleem te wees nie. Selfs in 'n kleiner stad soos Mancora of Chivay kan u steeds internetkafees met 512kbit / s ADSL vind. Die verbinding is betroubaar en goedkoop (S / 1,50-3 per uur). Moet net nie verwag dat die meeste van hulle koffie sal verkoop nie - of enigiets anders as rekenaartyd of dienste soos drukwerk. Dit is nie ongewoon om dit te vind nie cabinas wat CD's direk vanaf SD-, CF- of geheuestokkies verbrand. Baie internetkafees het koptelefone en mikrofone, gratis of teen ekstra koste.
