What if I lose my migration card?

Be careful not to lose your tourist card, or you will have to queue at the National Migration Superintendency (migration office), also known as migrations, for a replacement card. It is a good idea to carry your passport and TAM in your pocket at all times, especially when traveling in remote areas, for example: it is required by law on the Inca Trail.

Peru uses the Nuevo Sol (S/.) as its official currency. The exchange rate of this US dollar fluctuates constantly between 3.6 and 3.8 Peruvian soles.

The most practical thing is to combine cash, debit and credit cards. Carry small denomination notes for ease of purchasing and accessing services.

Credit card is for emergency withdrawals. When you get local currency, ask for small bills, as it is difficult to exchange large ones (S/. 100) in towns or for small purchases. Try to bring change to hand, especially in small towns.

In Peru, Type A and Type C plugs and sockets are used. The electrical current is 220V at a frequency of 60HZ AC, standard plugs accept round teeth. But, many places will have dual-voltage plugs that take flat teeth. Even so, you may need and adapter with a built-in surge protector.

On the other hand, when calling Peru from abroad, dial the international access code of the city in which you are located. Then, the country code of Peru (51), then the area code without the (0) and finally the local number.

Then, when making international calls from Peru, dial the international access code (00). Then the country code of the country you are calling, then the area code and finally the local phone number.
