To make your visit an enjoyable one Go on excursions along known and signposted tourist routes. Check with IPERÚ for more information. Take your lodging information with you: name, address, phone number, and reservation code. Exchange money or withdraw cash from ATMs at banks or authorized stores. Do not accept help from strangers.
Look after your belongings in public places and avoid frequenting isolated places.
Find out about the opening hours of tourist attractions and/or services before your visit.
Avoid eating at unauthorized street food stalls. Drink bottled or boiled water.
When hiring tourist services Request IPERÚ the list of travel and tourism agencies registered. It is advisable to get information from more than one formal company before hiring a service. Request details in writing of the terms of service and cancellation policies. Take authorized taxis. In Peru, taximeters are not used, which is why it is recommended to agree on the price before taking the service.
In case of non-compliance To file a complaint, request the Complaints Book. You can also request assistance from IPERÚ or the National Institute for the Defense of Competition and Protection of Intellectual Property (INDECOPI). Keep in mind that tourist services with very low costs do not guarantee good service.
