Rules in force · 7Street taxis are not metered and some are unsafe
- Peru ↗Check entry rules for your passport with Peru's migration authority (Migraciones) or a Peruvian consulate; keep the entry record you receive, as hotels may ask for it.
- Peru ↗Machu Picchu entry is by timed ticket for a named circuit, with daily caps; in high season tickets sell out weeks or months ahead. Buy tickets only from the official Ministry of Culture seller or a licensed agency.
- Peru ↗The classic Inca Trail needs a permit booked through a licensed operator, often months ahead; the trail closes every February for maintenance.
- Peru ↗Altitude sickness is common above 2,500 m: ascend gradually, rest on day one, and ask a doctor before travel if you have heart or lung conditions.
- Lima area ↗If you fly on to Cusco, go up gradually: sleep in the Sacred Valley first.
- Lima ↗Street taxis are not metered and some are unsafe: book through a ride-hailing app or a taxi your hotel calls, and never hail a cab on the street at night.
- Lima ↗Traffic peaks 07:00–10:00 and 17:00–20:30: plan cross-city rides outside those windows, and add 30 minutes to any airport transfer.
