Country info and facts

Here's what you need to know to plan a trip to Peru. Please take careful note of the visa and entry procedure, as it's a little different from most other countries.

Currency

Peruvian soles

Airports

The main airport is Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima.

For Arequipa and Colca Canyon, there's Rodríguez Ballón International Airport. For Lake Titicaca, there's Juliaca Airport. And for the Amazon, there's Padre Aldamiz International Airport (south), Captain Rolden International Airport (central) or Iquitos International Airport (north).

Seasons

Peru is very close to the Equator, so it's not really helpful to think of its seasons in terms of temperatures. Rather, the main seasonal distinction is rainfall. The rainy season runs from December to March, and the dry season from May to September. April and November are transition months.

Please note that the seasons affect different parts of the country very differently. The three main climate zones are the narrow coastal belt, the middle Andean region, and the interior lowland rainforest. The best months to visit Peru if you want to explore all three climate zones are April and May.

Visa and Immigration

Some nationals require a visa to visit Peru, but many don't. Also, everyone needs to provide certain documents outlining their travel plans. It's important to please give yourself enough time to work through the necessaries, which you find explained in detail here.

Health and Safety

Malaria can be an issue in certain parts of Peru, like the Amazon rainforest. In other parts of the countries in the Andes range there's the chance of developing altitude sickness if you don't acclimatise properly. Please read 8 tips to stay healthy and safe when travelling in Peru to learn more.
