Peru has always been an interesting South American country for visiting and exploring. Here are a few top tips to ensure that your trip to Peru is an enjoyable one:
1) Bear in mind that the local in Peru do not consider timeliness to be a high priority; for example, a 5:00PM dinner can easily become a 6:00 PM or a little later. So set your times and dates for whatever occasion accordingly.
2) Bring your credit cards with you, for they are generally accepted in most locations.
3) Do not make currency changes at airports and banks; they offer the highest-charging exchange rates in comparison to the regular exchange bureaus.
4) Be conscious of the fact the culture of Peru has adopted the act of honking right before moving through an intersection when driving.
5) It's worthwhile to take a look at the Nazca Lines which are huge designs carved into the land by the Nazca Indians; the best way to experience them is by a plane trip.
6) Consider one of the most traditional meals in Peru: a guinea pig which is provided with coca tea, pfutti, a hot soup of herbs and meat, and arroz tapado.
7) Generally you do not need to tip, for 18% of the service charge is usually included in your bill.
8) Visit Lima in order to experience its colonial character with markets and handcrafts, cafes, beautiful architecture, and museums.
9) Always keep an eye on your wallet as you travel from the chief square Plaza de Armas along the Jiron de la Union to the Plaza San Martin.
10) Stop by to take a look at the macabre San Francisco Church and Monastery.
11) If you love archaeology, visit Cuzco which is highly regarded as the archaeological capital of the Americas.It's ringed by Inca-constructed stone walls.
12) You absolutely cannot miss Machu Picchu; you can get there by following the Inca Trail from the Sacred Valley of the Urubamba River up the mountain to the Incan City of Machupicchu.
