However, some activities, like the Humantay Lake trek or the Rainbow Mountain trek, involve moderate physical activity and might be more suitable for older children or those comfortable with hiking. In case you have babies, they are welcome too BUT remember to bring their special request and take care of them all the time.

Food and Drink

Peruvian dishes: Peru is famous for its diverse and tasteful cuisine. Don't miss trying dishes like ceviche (raw fish marinated in citrus juices), lomo saltado (stir-fried beef), and causa limena (mashed potato dish). Sample local dishes at recommended restaurants or street food stalls under safe and hygienic conditions.
Pisco Sour: A popular Peruvian cocktail made with pisco (grape brandy), lime juice, syrup, egg white, and bitters. It's a must-try drink that perfectly shows Peru's culinary culture.

Culture

Hand crafts: Always keep some cash with you to buy some souvenirs you may want. They sometimes accept cards but cash is the most popular payment method.
Tipping Culture: Tipping norms in Peru for tour guides, drivers, and other service providers are not fixed. We always recommend giving a personal appreciation but it is not a must, it is up to you.

Climate

Weather Variation: Weather across regions can differ; ensure to pack for diverse climates, especially for varying altitudes. For example, Ica y warm and dry, so summer clothes can be good. For Cusco or Machu Picchu, we never know so it is important to always pack a warm jacket and rain gear.

Connectivity: In cities like Lima and Cusco, you'll find good internet connectivity. However, in more remote areas, such as the mountains or while hiking, you have to be aware that we will not be connected to wifi or the internet. Expect limited or no internet access.
