• Recommended vaccinations for Peru include: diphtheria, tetanus, polio, typhus, hepatitis A/B, and rabies.
• A yellow fever vaccine is strongly recommended for trips to the Amazon (Puerto Maldonado or Iquitos) and required for travelers arriving from yellow fever-infected countries in Africa or Latin America.
• The yellow fever certificate is valid 10 days after vaccination and remains valid for a period of 10 years.
• The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends taking anti-malarial drugs if traveling to the northern parts of Peru and Iquitos in the Amazon.

Peru is served by five major mobile network operators that provide 4G services:

• Claro
• Movistar
• Entel
• Bitel

As of now, 5G services are only available in the main cities of the Peruvian Coast for households/local companies with fixed plans. According to the local authority Osiptel Claro offers the fastest mobile speed.
These providers offer prepaid SIM card packages that can be purchased at their official stores, authorized resellers, and even kiosks in major cities. Bring your passport for registration purposes.
However, buying a prepaid SIM card at Lima Airport, particularly at the stand in the arrival hall, is significantly overpriced.
If you are in a rush and have a device that supports e-SIM, you can visit the user-friendly website:

• Holafly

They provide detailed instructions on how to purchase and activate your e-SIM card. Holafly uses Movistar in Peru.
Additionally, Entel also offers e-SIM cards, but this option requires a visit to one of their physical stores.

• In larger cities, you have the option to use taxi-hailing apps such as Uber or Cabify.
• However, for safer alternatives, you can consider using Taxi Satelital, which allows phone reservations or booking through their app, or Green Taxi (Whatsapp).
• Both Taxi Satelital and Green Taxi offer fixed fares based on the distance traveled.
• While it is possible to find local taxis outside the airport, it's important to exercise caution as some drivers may attempt to take advantage of foreign travelers.
• Street taxis are usually cheaper but less secure, and they may try to overcharge.
• It's worth noting that Peru does not have taximeters, so having a basic knowledge of Spanish is helpful for negotiating the fare in advance. Additionally, taxi fares typically increase by 35% to 50% after midnight and on holidays.
• In Cusco, registered taxis are generally white and display the license plate number on the side of the car.

• Outlets in Peru provide 220 volts at a frequency of 60 Hz (50 Hz in Arequipa).
• The outlets have a two-prong configuration that accepts both flat and round prongs.
• If you want to use a 110-volt appliance, you will need to purchase a power adapter.
• Some higher-end hotels in Peru may have outlets compatible with 110-volt appliances.
• Plug types commonly used in Peru are compatible with both European and American plugs.

• When properly arranged, there is only a marginal risk of altitude sickness for a healthy person traveling to the Andes.
• It is important to take enough time to acclimatize, especially in Andean cities like Cusco (3,360m/11,023ft) or Puno (3,827m/12,556ft).
• Avoid physical exertion during the first few hours after arrival.
• It is recommended to avoid consuming alcohol during the acclimatization period.
• Eat light meals and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
• Local coca tea is highly recommended for alleviating symptoms of altitude sickness.
