Peru has a lot to offer!

Highlights

  • Ballestas Islands boat tour to see sea lions, penguins, and marine birds

Insider tips

  • Acclimatize in Lima (sea level) for 1–2 days before heading to high-altitude regions; altitude sickness is common above 3,400 m
  • Book Machu Picchu entry and train tickets in advance—slots fill quickly, especially June–August
  • Bring layers: Andean temperatures swing 20°C+ between sun and shade, and nights are cold year-round in the highlands
  • Negotiate transport with local guides in Puno and Cusco for better rates on private excursions

Good to know

  • Includes multiple bus/minivan transfers between cities; journeys range 6–12 hours, often overnight
  • Boat tours (Ballestas Islands, Lake Titicaca) operate year-round but rougher seas June–September
  • Most meals are guided group experiences; dietary restrictions should be communicated in advance
  • Machu Picchu requires moderate fitness (3–4 hours hiking); stairs are steep and oxygen is thin at 2,430 m elevation
  • Yellow fever vaccination recommended for jungle regions; consult your doctor
