GOOD TO KNOW

Peru Travel and Vacation – Good to know

No visa is required for most EU citizens if the stay is less than 183 days. The visa is available upon entry and does not require prior online registration. Check before traveling whether your nationality is included in the visa waiver program. Otherwise, you should apply for a visa in time.

The International Airport Jorge Chávez in Lima is the best choice for entering Peru. It is a well-connected airport with numerous international flights. Plan transfers to other cities (e.g., Cusco) in advance, as domestic flights are often fully booked. Take the opportunity to explore the capital before you start riding your motorcycle.

The local currency in Peru is the Sol (PEN). Credit cards are accepted in many cities; however, you should always have cash ready, especially in rural areas. You can withdraw Sol at ATMs; be aware of fees. It is advisable to have a certain amount of cash for small expenses and tips.

For entry, no vaccinations are required, but it is recommended to get vaccinated against hepatitis A/B and typhoid. A travel insurance is also advisable to cover any medical costs. Also check the altitude sickness precautions, as many motorcycle routes lead to high altitudes.

A national driver's license is sufficient for renting a motorcycle in Peru, but an international driver's license is recommended. To buy a SIM card, visit local providers like Claro or Movistar. These are available in shopping centers and at the airport. Be sure to have your identification and top-up credit ready.
