Frequently asked questions about hotels in Peru
What are the best landmarks to visit in Peru?
For iconic landmarks, Machu Picchu is a must-see, a breathtaking Inca citadel nestled in the Andes. Cusco, the former Inca capital, boasts impressive colonial architecture and Inca ruins like Sacsayhuamán. The Nazca Lines, gigantic geoglyphs etched into the desert, are another incredible sight. For something different, the floating islands of Lake Titicaca offer a unique cultural experience.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Peru?
Hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is a classic adventure. Exploring the Amazon rainforest, perhaps by boat on the Amazon River, is another popular choice. White-water rafting on the Urubamba River offers thrills, while exploring the vibrant markets of Cusco and Lima provides a taste of local life. A visit to the Colca Canyon, one of the deepest canyons in the world, is also highly recommended.
The best time to visit much of Peru is during the dry season, from May to September. This period offers the best weather for trekking and exploring the Andes and the coast. However, the Amazon rainforest has a different climate and can be visited year-round, with the dry season (May to September) generally being the best time.
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Peru?
A week in Cusco allows you to explore its historical centre, visit nearby Inca sites like Sacsayhuamán, and perhaps take a day trip to the Sacred Valley. Lima offers a different experience, with its vibrant Miraflores district known for its parks and ocean views, and Barranco, known for its bohemian atmosphere and nightlife. A week in the Amazon could focus on exploring the rainforest's biodiversity.
Which parts of Peru are perfect for a weekend getaway?
Paracas National Reserve, with its stunning coastline and Ballestas Islands (known as the 'poor man's Galapagos'), is perfect for a weekend. Alternatively, a weekend in Arequipa, a beautiful city with colonial architecture and proximity to the Colca Canyon, provides a blend of culture and nature. The Sacred Valley, near Cusco, offers a shorter Inca Trail trek option.
Renting a car isn't always recommended, especially for exploring the Andes. The roads can be challenging, and public transport, including buses, is often a more convenient and affordable option, particularly for reaching remote areas. However, car rental can be useful for exploring certain coastal areas.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Peru?
Credit cards are increasingly accepted in larger cities and tourist areas, but it's wise to carry some Peruvian Soles (PEN), especially in smaller towns and villages. Many smaller businesses and markets primarily operate on a cash basis.
What are the largest airports in Peru?
The two largest airports are Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) in Lima and Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ) in Cusco. These are the main gateways for international and domestic flights.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Peru?
It's polite to greet people with a handshake or a 'hola'. Bargaining is common in markets, but do it respectfully. Being punctual isn't always strictly adhered to, so some flexibility is appreciated. Showing respect for local customs and traditions is always advisable.
What local specialties should you try in Peru?
Ceviche, a fresh seafood dish marinated in lime juice, is a must-try. Aji de gallina, a creamy chicken stew, and causa, a layered potato dish, are other popular choices. Don't forget to sample the various varieties of potatoes and corn, staples of Peruvian cuisine.
Where are the best shopping spots in Peru?
Miraflores in Lima has many boutiques and shopping malls. The San Blas artisan neighbourhood in Cusco offers unique handicrafts. In addition, markets throughout the country provide opportunities to find local textiles, ceramics, and other souvenirs.
What signature events or festivals take place in Peru?
The Inti Raymi, the Inca festival of the sun, is a spectacular event held in Cusco in June. The Señor de los Milagros procession in Lima, in October, is a significant religious event. Many smaller, local festivals are celebrated throughout the year, often linked to harvests or religious occasions.
What’s the best place in Peru for mild and comfortable weather?
The coastal areas, particularly around Lima and Paracas, tend to have a mild climate year-round, although it can be foggy in the winter months. The Sacred Valley also offers pleasant temperatures, although it can get cooler at night.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Peru?
Not acclimatising properly to the altitude, especially when visiting Cusco and Machu Picchu, is a common mistake. Underestimating travel times and not booking accommodation and tours in advance can also lead to difficulties. Ignoring altitude sickness symptoms can also be dangerous.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Peru?
The Chachapoyas region, in northern Peru, with its Kuelap fortress and stunning landscapes, is relatively less visited. The Manu National Park, in the Amazon, offers a more remote and challenging, but rewarding, rainforest experience. The Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) is gaining popularity but still feels less crowded than other major sites.
