Is it safe to travel to Peru? |
Travel Info Is it safe to travel to Peru? Travel Tips It's safe if you are careful - do not wear any jewelry, purse, watch, fanny packs - men must keep their wallet in their front pocket - carry your passport at all times - those zipper pants are great to carry all the stuff safely. If you are touring Peru itself, it is best to hire a guide - we hired someone recommended by the hotel staff and we were left alone by the rampant pick pockets, etc. We got to see places that tourists didn't know about - he also took us to great restaurants that we never would have found - of course we paid for his meal! As in any "foreign country" you must be vigilant and use your head. Spent a month traveling around Peru, Ecuador, Cuzco and surrounding areas but the hub is Peru and you always fly in and out of there. Air planes.....well, just relax and enjoy - but do pay attention as they often cancel flights and do not make any announcements - really! Need patience as they do not have computers - everything is done by hand so you will need lots of patience. Safest is to have made arrangements with a travel agent so that there will be a person to meet you and get you to your first location. You should go - it was a great experience. :) Others Um you will have to take a plane. And there could be snakes on it. Meh y not but from us to any other countyer they dont use extra security so there is a bigger chance of hijacking A good site to go to would be the US state department. http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw... You'll never know for sure if you don't go there yourself. Everyone has different travelling experience. Some are lucky while the others are not. Who knows? I hiked the Inca trail a few years ago. I had no problems but I would recommend a guided tour. It's reall the ebst way to travel these countries. You get a guide who knows the country,speaks the languages, and can keep you out of harms way. GAP Adventures is good company to travel with. Peru can be dangerous (as are many large cities in the USA.) It's best if you travel with an organized tour group. Don't go off alone, don't go out at night. |
