Pro tips

Acclimatize to the altitude before engaging in strenuous activities, especially in the Andes. Spend a day or two in Cusco or another high-altitude city before heading to Machu Picchu or other high-altitude destinations.
Pack for all types of weather, as temperatures can vary greatly, especially in the Andes. Layers are key, and don't forget a good pair of walking shoes or hiking boots.
Learn a few basic phrases in Spanish or the local indigenous language (e.g., Quechua) to enhance your travel experience and show respect for the local culture.
Try local dishes and beverages, such as ceviche, lomo saltado, and pisco sour. Peru is a food lover's paradise, and the country's diverse culinary traditions are not to be missed.
Be cautious when using ATMs, especially at night. Stick to ATMs located inside banks or shopping centers, and be aware of your surroundings.
