Travel Note

Entry Requirements

Entry to Peru depends on your passport nationality. A U.S. visa or Green Card does not automatically grant entry. Please check with your nearest Peruvian consulate for specific requirements and processing times.

Travel Note

Weather in January

January is summer in Peru, with temperatures between 75–85°F (24–30°C), high humidity, and strong daytime sun. We recommend wearing light, breathable clothing and using sunscreen.

Travel Note

Currency

Peru uses the Peruvian Sol (PEN). It is recommended to exchange money at local Casas de Cambio, especially in areas like Miraflores and Barranco. Some smaller shops, taxis, and local markets do not accept credit cards, so carrying some cash is highly recommended. While Peruvians widely use a payment app called Yape, it requires a Peruvian bank account and is generally not available to international visitors.

Travel Note

Water

Tap water is not potable. Please drink bottled or filtered water only.

Travel Note

Transport

We recommend using ride-share apps like Uber, DiDi, or Yango, as they are convenient for visitors. Public buses are inexpensive but can be confusing for non-locals. Traffic in January is heavier due to summer, so allow extra travel time.

Travel Note

Where to Stay

For safety and convenience, we recommend staying in Miraflores, Barranco, or San Isidro. These neighborhoods are the most visitor friendly areas in Lima.
