The lay of the land
With 5 neighbours sharing a border, Peru lends itself to chaining. Overland isn’t plan B: it’s often faster and you always see more.

TRIP FILE DATA
Machu Picchu, the cooking of Lima, and an Amazon that begins where the Andes end. Peru rewards anyone who respects the altitude: Cusco sits at 3,400 metres and the first day isn’t negotiable.

Travel notes for Peru
PE / FIELD NOTESData the moment you land
The first place being connected pays off is passport control, when they ask for your hotel address and it’s sitting in your email. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. An Ozu eSIM installs before you fly and wakes up when you touch down.
Timing your trip
Peru sits close enough to the equator that the year is measured in rain, not seasons. The dry stretch is the comfortable one for moving around. The wet one doesn’t cancel the trip, but it does soak it.
Paying your way
Read your card’s small print before you go: many charge a fee on every purchase in another currency, and it piles up where you don’t see it. Carry a second card in a different pocket too: the day the first one gets blocked, you’ll want a plan B.
Documents & cover
Entry rules depend on your passport, so confirm whether you need a visa or travel authorisation before you book, and check your passport has enough validity left. Travel insurance is worth arranging either way: medical care abroad can get expensive fast.
Getting understood
When you share no language at all, writing beats talking: type it, show the screen, let them type back. Speaking louder and slower has never worked for anybody.
