    Take care with the tours always ask for prices in different locations.

    Clothes for everything you will find every kind of climate in peru

  • Transportation Tips?

    The busses are cheap so you can move easily

  • Any surprises?

    There are chains like the Dragonfly hostels who exist in more places in Peru and you often get a better price when you were in 2 of them but in different locations.
