Top Tips For Peru Tours

Vacations are difficult in the planning stage

, and particularly if you are heading off on a Machu Picchu and Galapagos tour , you should expect the unexpected. However, in order to ensure the experience that you have always imagined, there are certain things to do which can aid the process. Here are a few things to consider and to keep in mind for travelling in Peru that can help to make your vacation go as smoothly as possible. Whatever you are doing within South America, whether it is a trip to Machu Picchu or a Galapagos Islands cruise you need to research effectively.

Peru

Transportation is a key thing to consider when it comes to Lima. This is a large city and, as in any large city, you need to be cautious as to where you go on your own and not carrying expensive items. While Lima is not particularly dangerous, one of the main areas where people have experienced problems is taking taxis so it is a good idea to have your hotel call for secure ones for you.

When it comes to booking tours, consider booking private ones, especially the ones that are most important to you. It doesn't cost that much more and you will get a lot more out of the experience. You will be able to hear the guide better and will be able to have the tours catered more to your specific interests. Excursions to do this for, for example, are the Cusco City Tour and the nearby Sacred Valley Tour.

Be sure to leave some extra time both for enjoying the places you visit, such as Cusco, as well as for travelling between destinations. While there has been great improvements across the board when it comes to tourism, delays can still be expected. You don't want to schedule yourself so tightly that you risk missing your next transport, especially when it comes to international travel.

When it comes to carrying money, be aware that there are ATMs in all cities as well as towns that are major tourist destinations. They will dispense either Peruvian soles or U.S. dollars. This is a much safer alternative to carrying a lot of cash around. A general thing to remember when travelling anywhere is to make sure that you have the pin number for taking money out with a credit card should it become necessary. Try to use the largest bill you can wherever you are at because smaller shops rarely have change.

You are probably going to be heading to Machu Picchu so be sure to book your entrance tickets and your train tickets ahead of time, especially during the months of May through August when there are more tourists. You may notice in older guide books that they say that hiking Huayna Picchu, the peak nearby Machu Picchu is free but that you need to get there early. This is no longer the case. Now, you must purchase tickets for entering Huayna Picchu at the same time as you buy the entrance ticket for the archaeological site itself.
