Peru
COMPLETE TRAVEL GUIDE
Peru will always be special in my heart because this ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ค๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ marked my very first adventure in South America. I have traveled to many Asian countries, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA, Mexico, and many other countries. I don’t know what took me so long to travel to this great continent. Anyway, Peru is a beautiful country that offers a wide range of great things to enjoy. I understand that the main reason for most visitors to Peru is the worldโs wonder of Machu Picchu. And, it truly is A-MA-ZING… it’s worth the journey. It feels so surreal to step into the lost city of Inca for the very first time.
However, there is more of Peru than just the Inca ruin Machu Picchu. Be ready to be amazed by what this beautiful country has to offer. To name a few: the Amazon Jungle, Nazca Lines, Rainbow Mountains, Poor’s Man Galapagos, Colca Canyon – the second-deepest canyon on earth, Lake Titicaca – the highest elevation lake in the world, colonial towns, Inca cultures, foods, and many many more. Some of the best family activities in Peru are cycling, hiking, sandboarding, watching wildlife in the Amazon jungle, visiting floating islands in Lake Titicaca, wandering through the local markets, learning to make chocolate. Oh, don’t miss petting and feeding some cute alpacas and llamas. This is enjoyable for both kids and adults alike, super fun!
I hope to inspire you to visit Peru and help you plan a great trip with this ๐๐ก๐ฉ๐๐ข๐๐ฉ๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ช ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ก ๐๐ช๐๐๐.

Peru offers a great culinary experience. It is one of the countries in South America that has a truly defined cuisine. Peruvian food is a cuisine of opposites: hot and cold on the same plate, robust and delicate at the same time. No wonder that many Peruvian dishes are recognized globally. Lima, the capital city of Peru, is often noted as the food capital of South America. It is well worth spending time here exploring the wealth of great restaurants and markets on offer here.
.
๐พ๐๐ซ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ช๐๐ฃ๐ค - Ceviche is the most popular dish in Peru. In fact, it is considered the national dish and can be found throughout the country. Ceviche is a fresh raw seafood dish (often white fish) mixed with lime, chili peppers, aji, and other seasonings. Then garnished with thinly sliced red onion and cilantro. It is a unique dish with intense flavor. Ceviche is DELICIOUS, yum!
.
๐๐ค๐ข๐ค ๐๐๐ก๐ฉ๐๐๐ค ๐ค๐ง ๐๐ฉ๐๐ง-๐๐ง๐ฎ ๐ฝ๐๐๐ - Lomo Saltado is a mix of Chinese stir-fry and classic Peruvian cuisine. It is made from marinated tender beef strips mixed with onions, tomatoes, aji chilies, and other spices. Occasionally, you will find Lomo Saltado made with alpaca meat. The ingredients are stir-fried together until the beef/alpaca meat is the right level of cooked and the tomatoes and onions turn into a gravy-like consistency. It serves with white steamed rice and french fries.
.
๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ค๐ง ๐พ๐ง๐๐๐ข๐ฎ ๐พ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ - This is another popular Peruvian dish that you can find across the country, from street food vendors to gourmet restaurants. Aji de gallina is made from shredded chicken breast and prepared with curry-style thick cream sauce. It serves with boiled potatoes and white rice, sometimes topped with boiled eggs and black olive too.
.
๐พ๐ช๐ฎ ๐ค๐ง ๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐ช๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐๐๐ - Pronounced Kwee. Cuy is a unique Peruvian delicacy made from whole (fried or grilled) young guinea pigs. I understand the feeling of eating a dish made from a furry critter rodent may sound unconventional. It probably would help if you know that guinea pig is the second-largest source of meat in Peru, after alpaca. In fact, cuy is a staple food for Andean Peruvians for over 5,000 years. It is actually considered a delicacy dish.
.
Cuy is prepared by squishing (under stones) and deep-frying or grilling the whole guinea pig. In traditional Peruvian cooking, cuy is stuffed with local herbs and slow-roasted over an open wood fire. It serves with potatoes or rice. And cuy is usually eaten by hands - it is acceptable even in gourmet restaurants.
.
๐๐ค๐ก๐ก๐ค ๐ ๐ก๐ ๐ฝ๐ง๐๐จ๐ ๐ค๐ง ๐๐ค๐ฉ๐๐จ๐จ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ - ๐๐ค๐ก๐ก๐ค ๐ ๐ก๐ ๐ฝ๐ง๐๐จ๐ ๐ค๐ง ๐๐ค๐ฉ๐๐จ๐จ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ - Pollo a la Brasa is a Peruvian rotisserie chicken made with a marinade that consists of salt, pepper,ย huacatayย (Peruvian mint), panca peppers, cumin, and other ingredients. It is a staple of Peruvian cuisine and one of the most popular fast foods in the country. What is so special about this rotisserie chicken? It is delicious comfort food. The secret remains in the marinated sauce and grilling method. You should go to a localย Polleriaย to try an authentic traditional Pollo a la Brasa. The chicken is served with a side of french fries and salad - sliced tomatoes, lettuce, and sliced cucumbers with a vinaigrette dressing.ย
.
๐๐๐๐๐ง๐ค๐ฃ๐๐จ - And for a sweet treat in Peru, definitely try to pick up some picarones from a street vendor. These delicious desserts look like a doughnut but are actually a pastry made from sweet potato. They are served with a delightful sticky sugar cane sauce.
.
๐๐๐จ๐๐ค ๐๐ค๐ช๐ง - Pisco is ultimately the Peruvian national spirit and an absolute South American favorite. Pisco sour is an alcoholic cocktail made from fermented and distilled grape spirit. Pisco must be aged for a minimum of three months in vessels that cannot in any way alter the flavor. The best pisco is generally acknowledged to come from the Ica Valley in Peru and the Elqui region of Chile. It is best consumed neat or in a Pisco Sour, including lime juice, sugar, and egg white. You definitely have to try a pisco sour when you travel to Peru or Chile, even if you are not a big fan of cocktails.

What to pack and wear greatly depends on where you go, when you go, and what activities you do on your vacation. This ultimate packing guide consists of essential must-have items for most hot climates and tropical beach destinations.ย
.
Clothing is one of the hardest things to pack for traveling. You need to bring enough for the trip without over-packing. The struggle to pack light and still be cute is real, especially for women. I understand that perfectly. I hope this ultimate packing guide helps you for your next vacation to a tropical and beaches destination.ย
.
The secret to packing for vacation is to bring ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต๐ข๐ฃ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ญ๐ฆ clothing pieces. What are versatile clothes? They can be combined well with many other garments, worn for many occasions, and in different ways (opened, closed, or half-closed; layer on top or underneath; tucked-in or loose; belted or not, etc.). Choose neutral colors and basic style for a more effortless mix and match. Then add a few coordinated patterns and colors statement pieces to create cuter outfits.ย ย

๐ธ ๐๐๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ก๐ - Everyone has different styles and preferences, so please adjust accordingly. The key to packing light is choosing versatile clothing pieces. And layering during a colder time when necessary. Always... Always pick comfortable items over style. Although it's possible to have both, comfort comes first.
.
Choosing suitable fabrics is also important to keep you comfortable when traveling to tropical and hot climate destinations. My family and I are in the process of replacing most of our regular cotton and polyester blend with lightweight wool basic shirts and undergarments. It's an excellent investment.
.
- Cotton blend, hemp, and linen are fantastic lightweight fabrics for low sweat activities. Choose wrinkle-resistant clothing pieces is super helpful, especially when traveling.
- Lightweight wool and bamboo fibers are great options for outdoor activities.ย
- ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐ข ๐ง๐๐ฃ - Good quality lightweight merino wool is AWESOME for any season and destination, even for summer and tropical places. YES, you read correctly. It keeps your body temperature cool when it's hot AND keeps you warm when it's cold. Not the thick and itchy wool of the past -- but rather thin, stretchy, super-soft to touch, breathable, natural anti-bacterial, moisture-wicking, UPF 50+, and wrinkle-resistant. Just like regular cotton shirts, only better.ย

Peru as a whole is a safe and welcoming country, and as long as you use common sense, you shouldnโt have a problem. Violent crime is rare in tourist destinations, but petty crime can occur. We all need to stay vigilant wherever we are, it doesn't matter in which country we are traveling. If you have any questions or concerns, ask local guides about best practices for staying safe in each area. They are locals from the regions and will have the best advice.ย
.
Here are some general tips on how to stay safe in Peru:
- Leave expensive jewelry and valuable at home.
- Use the hotel safe.
- Just carry enough cash for that dayโs activities.
- Be alert to pick-pockets, keep things in front pockets. Consider using a money belt or anti-theft crossbody bag.
- Keep purses and handbags on your lap in restaurants rather than on the floor or back of your chair.
- When exploring inside the cities, take one credit or debit card with you and leave another in your hotel safe. Also, carry a copy of your passport and leave the original in the hotel safe.
- When traveling outside cities, you may want to take your original passport with you. A copy passport would suffice in most situations unless you visit specific places to bring the original one.
- Keep walking at night to a minimum โ ask your hotel to arrange a taxi for you or use Uber.
