To make your visit an enjoyable one Go on excursions along known and signposted tourist routes.
Exchange money or withdraw cash from ATMs at banks or authorized stores. Do not accept help from strangers.
Keep your original IDs, valuables, and credit cards that you will not use on excursions in custody or in your lodging’s safe. Avoid getting on motorcycles or motorcycle taxis that are not in a formal stop or whose driver does not wear the vest that identifies him with a transport association.
During the rainy season (December to April) Wear waterproof clothing, umbrella, hat, sunscreen, and repellent.
Check in advance for the visit availability to the Cerros de Amotape National Park.
When registering your visit with Customs and Migration If you are traveling with minors, remember to bring their respective IDs and permits to register their entry or exit from the country. If leaving the country, it is advisable to use an international public transport that makes it easier for you to process your immigration registration at the corresponding points.
When hiring tourist services Check out the list of travel and tourism agencies in IPERÚ Tumbes.
Avoid hiring services that are offered out loud outside land or air transport terminals. It is advisable to get information from more than one formal company before hiring a service. Visit their offices and request details in writing of the terms of service and cancellation policies. When buying products or contracting a service, request the corresponding payment receipt.
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.
