What to take with you to Peru: spotlighted

Featured items:
  • Documents: a passport that is valid for at least 6 months, and copies!
  • Money: taking Peruvian Sol is useful for everyday business and because ATMs can sometimes be empty. US dollars are very useful to have with you for emergencies.
  • Care: high factor sunscreen and good lip balm, for trips to altitude.
  • Outdoor and practical: cap or hat and sunglasses because the sun is incredibly strong.
  • Protection: a raincoat is essential with the unpredictable weather and a rain cover or liner for your backpack will probably come in handy too.
  • Comfort: a quick-drying towel.
  • Clothing: in Peru, a layering system with lightweight, quick-drying clothing for the rainforest and slightly warmer clothing for the higher towns and mountains is useful.
  • Shoes: comfortable walking shoes.
  • Medicines and travel kit: a small first aid kit with plasters, painkillers, ORS (dehydration is a thing) and hand gel. Mosquito repellent is also important.
  • Safety: a money belt.
  • Technology and equipment: world plug type A&C, as a Dutch person you often need a travel plug.
What are some other options for packing:
  • Reusable water bottle with filter, because tap water is technically drinkable, but often tastes strange.
  • Toilet paper, easily biodegradable tissues for the public toilets.
  • A pee cloth for when you go for a long walk (never just leave paper behind in nature!).
  • Headlamp for when the power goes out or for when you are hiking.
  • Power bank for during the hikes.
  • A hat for in the mountains - although it is of course much more fun to buy one there.
  • Altitude sickness pills if you have big plans (they are also available there).
  • A mosquito net, if you are planning to go to remote areas yourself. Most jungle treks and lodges offer accommodation with mosquito nets.
Back to top

What should you keep in mind when traveling to Peru with your belongings?

  • Which medicines you can and cannot get, especially if you are going to more remote places.
  • In which season you are going to Peru and what the weather is like in the places you are going.
  • What is the situation with mosquitoes in the locations you are going to visit.
Back to top

Are there mosquitoes in Peru?

  • There are mosquitoes in Peru, but not everywhere.
  • Mosquitoes particularly enjoy the lowland areas, such as the Amazon and other forests. Mosquitoes are also found at Machu Picchu. In the higher areas, including on the Inca Trail, they are hardly found.
  • There are more mosquitoes during the rainy season in the Amazon.
  • The mosquitoes can transmit several diseases.
  • More about protection against mosquitoes and insects.
Back to top

Are there sandflies in Peru?

  • Peru has several species of sandflies. Most of them are found in the Amazon, but little is known about the further spread of sandflies.
  • Sandflies increase in numbers during the dry season.
  • The country also has a high number of cases of Leishmaniasis.
  • Socks, long, airy clothing and mosquito repellent help a lot.
  • More about sand flies and sand fleas.
Back to top

Can you buy DEET, or other mosquito repellents, in Peru?

  • Yes, mosquito repellent is available in Lima and Cusco, but often expensive and without or with lower concentrations of DEET.
  • So the choice is limited.
Back to top

Can you buy a joint or weed in Peru, or take it with you to Peru?

  • Using cannabis for your own pleasure is not permitted in Peru. Nevertheless, you are allowed to have 8 grams of marijuana, or two grams of derivatives, in your pocket if it is really just for you.
  • The police are not always predictable, so you do run a risk.
  • In any case, do not smoke in public. That can cause quite a bit of irritation.
  • The rules are somewhat vague and in transition with regard to medical cannabis. But as a tourist you are not allowed to use it, or take it into the country.

Health, Insurance & Safety

How does the healthcare system work in Peru, and which insurance do you need?

Back to top

What is the quality of healthcare in Peru?

  • The quality of health care varies greatly between the public and private sectors and urban and rural areas.
  • Because of living conditions (e.g. poor sanitation, infections), there is still a big difference in health between the relatively small group of richer Peruvians and the large group of poorer people.
    • That contrast is still strong, for example, between maternal health in rural (poor) versus more urban environments.
    • Many Peruvians also face meager access to quality dental care, leading to common problems such as tooth decay and gum disease.
  • The Peruvian government and many NGOs are working together to improve infrastructure and make changes to the health system. Many organizations also work on the front lines of health care, providing medicine, education, and support. Especially in poor or less accessible areas, where the need is greatest.
  • In Peru, you often still find a mix of modern and more traditional medicine.
    • Western medicine and traditional medicine are not mutually exclusive in Peru but complement each other. And are used in the same way.
    • Many indigenous people continue to perform medical practices used by their ancestors.
    • In many parts of the country, shamans (“curanderos”) help maintain balance between body and soul.
  • Specific (emergency) treatments may require medical evacuation from locations outside Lima to Lima or from Lima to another country.
  • Emergency care is available 24/7 in the larger cities.
  • As an expat, you have the same rights regarding health care as locals. Some treatments are free, but often expats and expatriates turn to private care.
  • In general, you'll find the best care in capital Lima and in more densely populated areas on the coast. These mostly private hospitals often also offer ambulance services, which you can use if you are already a client of the hospital, or by calling the hospital directly and paying for the service.
Back to top

How does the public healthcare system work in Peru?

  • In Peru, residents can choose between two types of public insurance.
    • The first layer of health care is the subsidized system SIS (Seguro Integral de Salud). It provides universal assistance to low-income people.
    • Then you also have EsSalud, which is paid for by employers. This is mandatory for every employee, both in the private and public sectors.
  • Public health care is developing in Peru, but mostly still of a different standard:
    • Waiting times are often very long, and care is not of high quality.
    • Medical facilities are often limited, especially outside Lima. The Peruvian government facilitates projects in which (graduate) doctors and health workers in their first year provide -obligatory- primary care outside major Peruvian cities.
    • Be careful with blood transfusions; these are often not safe.  
Back to top

How does the private healthcare system work in Peru?

  • In Lima and Cusco you will find good private health care, which is, therefore, often preferred among expats and immigrants.
  • Sometimes you have to pay in advance in cash; keep that in mind. Or you may be asked for a credit card guarantee, even if you have (travel) insurance. As a foreigner, you may have to pay a fee at the entrance to the hospital or clinic to gain access.
  • The chances that you can get into private care with doctors who speak English are still a lot higher than in public care.
  • The cost of private treatment can be quite high.  
Back to top

How is the family doctor or general practitioner arranged in Peru?

  • General practitioners are often called “doctors” or el “medico/la medica.
  • You also encounter the term “medico familiale. They work in community teams in the public system and independently in the private system.
  • A visit to the family doctor is approachable, not expensive.
  • You find medicos both in the public and private health care system.  
Back to top

How is the dental care and dentist arranged in Peru?

  • Dental care is good, mostly inexpensive and accessible.
  • Dental care is available at both public and private clinics. Private dental care is not always cheap.
  • In rural and remote regions, dental services are more scarce.
  • “Dental tourism,” a trip to Peru for specific high-quality dental care, is common. Lima offers many good facilities and clinics for this purpose.
  • Improving oral health is one of the focal points in Peruvian health care, especially targeting children and low-income communities. Precisely because it also affects overall well-being. 
Back to top

How is pregnancy and maternity care arranged in Peru?

  • Most births take place in the hospital. There is plenty of support and staff. 
  • Home birth is also an option but is less common. 
  • A third option is a birth center. It is a center with a home-like feel and good midwives. 
  • Cesarean section is also still relatively common. 
  • There is good prenatal care. 
  • For high-risk pregnancies, you can go to Lima, Arequipa and Trujillo. 
  • Abortion is mostly illegal, with some exceptions. 
Back to top

How safe or unsafe is a trip or stay in Peru?

What should you pay attention to in terms of safety in Peru?

  • Peru is relatively safe compared to other countries in Latin America, but there are obviously areas of concern.
  • In the cities, theft is a big problem, and robberies also occur.
  • Certain areas of Lima are no go areas: crime is high and the police are very active.
  • There are also many unregistered cabs, which take advantage of tourists/expats.
  • Protests are pretty common, and sometimes they last from days to weeks. Usually they are peaceful, but it may be wise to avoid these kinds of gatherings and monitor the situation through media.
  • In Peru you have “The Shining Path,” a domestic insurgency group involved in drug smuggling. They have been less active in recent years, and chances are slim, but it is better to avoid the areas where they are active.
  • Be especially careful in the border area with Colombia and around the Amazon River. In the border area with Brazil, there are many illegal coca plantations and drug trafficking. There is also illegal gold mining.
  • Floods and landslides are relatively common in Peru, partly under the influence of “El Niño. Through roads and train connections are then closed, for example, to Machu Picchu, Cusco, Puno and Arequipa.
  • Earthquakes can also occur in Peru; keep an eye on local and national media and know what to do if an earthquake hits your area.
  • Always check the latest safety advice.

What should you pay attention to in terms of diseases in Peru?

  • Altitude sickness is common in Peru. Watch for symptoms such as headache, nausea, lethargy (dullness, sleepiness) and dizziness.
  • Several tropical diseases are common. So be sure to get the necessary vaccinations or medications in advance.
  • The drinking water is not safe to drink.
  • Never accept tea or any other herbal concoction from people you're not familiar with: a well-known “trick” to rob you.

What should you pay attention to in terms of traffic in Peru?

  • One of the biggest safety risks is the risk of road accidents. Fatal accidents often occur because of driving.
  • Be careful when walking on the streets. Not much consideration is given to pedestrians. 
  • Bus accidents are also common, especially at night. So make sure you book your bus trip with a good transportation company.

What is insurance for working abroad?

  • Insuring yourself for working abroad means taking out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your paid work abroad.
Back to top

Why take out insurance, and when is normal travel insurance no longer sufficient?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for paid work abroad.
  • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.
  • The risk of accidents is sometimes greater during your work, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work.
  • During specific work abroad, additional requirements may apply as soon as you start performing work that involves additional risks. Only special insurance policies offer coverage during this type of work.
  • During work, internships, or volunteer work abroad where you receive a salary or compensation (for example, food or housing), your local health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally do not provide sufficient coverage to apply for a work visa or working holiday visa.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally only cover stays abroad for a limited number of days. If your trip or stay abroad exceeds the maximum number of days, this generally means that there will be no coverage for the entire travel period.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally only provide coverage for recreational travel without study, internship, or work. If you engage in activities other than recreational activities, this generally means that you will no longer be covered for the entire travel period.
Back to top

  • Make sure you have insurance that is valid in the area where you will be traveling and working.
  • Make sure you are adequately insured for the sports and activities you will be participating in.

What is insurance for working with animals abroad?

  • Insuring yourself for working abroad with animals means taking out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your paid, unpaid, or internship work abroad, where minor or major risks are involved.
Back to top

Why take out insurance, and when is normal travel insurance no longer sufficient?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for work abroad.
  • During specific work abroad, additional requirements may apply as soon as you start performing work that involves additional risks. Only special insurance policies offer coverage during this type of work. Almost all standard insurers exclude working with animals from coverage.
  • The risk of accidents is sometimes greater during your work, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work. All over the world, there are reserves, rescue centers, and zoos where you can roll up your sleeves as a veterinarian, intern, or volunteer. Working with animals or wildlife is not without danger. No matter how cute they may look, or how tame they may behave. All animals can suddenly bite viciously or lash out with a claw or beak. Not only can this result in nasty injuries, but it can also transmit diseases that you would rather not have, and certainly not abroad.
  • During work, internships, or volunteer work abroad where you receive a salary or compensation (for example, food or housing), your local health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.
  • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.

What is insurance for studying abroad, and why should you take out specialized travel insurance for your education abroad?

Studying abroad with the right insurance

Back to top

What is insurance for studying abroad?

  • Insurance for studying abroad means that you take out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your studies, your education, and your related activities abroad.
  • Insurance for studying abroad is also referred to as study insurance. This study insurance is specifically for when you go abroad for a long period of time to take courses, study, or conduct research abroad.
Back to top

Why should you take out specialized travel insurance for a study abroad?

  • Study insurance is specifically designed for studying abroad, whereas regular travel insurance policies may offer coverage on paper but handle this situation differently in practice.
  • Study insurance offers coverage for longer stays than regular (vacation) travel insurance.
  • Study insurance is also suitable for many types of activities, ranging from various sports to hiking at high altitudes.
  • Study insurance continues to provide coverage if you start working during your trip, whether planned or unplanned. If you have not taken out insurance before departure that allows you to work, there is no guarantee that you will be able to take out insurance abroad that provides coverage.
  • Study insurance continues to provide coverage if your own country's health insurance no longer provides coverage.
  • Student insurance also covers your healthcare costs above the rates in your own country; with regular insurance, you have to pay the extra costs yourself.
  • Student insurance can also continue to provide coverage if (study) visa issuers impose additional requirements on how you insure yourself, for example if you are going to the US and applying for a J-1 visa.
  • Student insurance continues to provide coverage if you are staying abroad for a longer period of time and want to visit your own country in between.
Back to top

What is important to insure when you are going to study abroad?

  • That you have insurance that is valid in the country or countries where you are going to travel and work.
  • That you are adequately insured for the sports and activities you are going to participate in during your period abroad
  • That you are insured for emergency assistance and early return if something happens to you or your immediate family.
  • That your medical expenses are insured up to the actual cost and not just for the standard costs. The costs per medical treatment vary greatly between countries.
  • That you insure your luggage and take sufficient precautions against theft or damage.
  • That you are well insured against personal liability.
  • That you are well insured in case of accidents.
  • That you only insure yourself for legal assistance if there is an immediate reason to do so, unless coverage is already automatically included in the insurance.
  • That you pay close attention to choosing the right coverage when performing work alongside your studies.

Travel in Peru?

  • In Peru, culture really is there for the taking. Visit the world-famous Inca city of “Machu Picchu” or admire Spanish colonial architecture in Arequipa, Cuzco and Puno. Besides a rich culture, you will also find a huge diversity of animals and nature: volcanoes, beach, jungle, rainforest and snow-capped mountains. This variation in nature provides a huge range of activities for the quiet hikers and the adrenaline seekers. Peru has it all.
  • Natural parks: Peru is incredibly diverse in natural beauty. You can find everything from the Amazon rainforest to snow-capped mountain peaks and coastal sand deserts.
  • Hiking: The variety of nature ensures that both beginners and advanced hikers can make very nice hikes. For example, the “Inca Trail” is an extraordinary four-day hike through the mountains to the hidden city of Machu Picchu.
  • (Extreme) sports: For adrenaline seekers, there is much to do. In Peru you can zipline through the mountains, bungee jump from great heights, skydive, white water rafting and mountain climbing, among other things.
  • JoHotspots in Peru
  • Cuzco: Many travelers only stay in Cuzco to get to Machu Picchu via there. The city is also absolutely worth staying a little longer. Take two days to see the unique architecture, experience the culture and taste the delicious food.
  • Oasis of Huacachina: This unexpected village of about 100 inhabitants is a real oasis, built around the lake “oasis of America” in the middle of the sandy desert.
  • Cathedrals and churches: Lima, the capital of Peru has many magnificent structures, including the famous “Cathedral of Lima” and the “Church of San Francisco.” Many other extraordinary religious buildings can also be found in Lima and other cities of the country.
  • It is advisable to pay close attention when participating in traffic.
  • Also, do not just get into a cab, but check if it has a “cab” sign and if the car looks decent.

Peru, travelling the coast/desert, living in Cusco

Peru, travelling the coast/desert, living in Cusco

Vorige week ben in vertrokken vanuit Lima en ben ik langs de kust gaan reizen. Lima-Paracas-Islas Ballestas-Ica-Huacachina-Nazca-Cusco. Een aantal dagen geleden ben ik in Cusco aangekomen en ondertussen heb ik mij al redelijk gesettled in deze stad, waar ik 3 maanden zal wonen. 4 dagen geleden ben ik begonnen met mijn Spaanse lessen en over een maand ga ik werken in een weeshuis in Cusco, Hogar Jesus mi Luz. lees meer over mijn reis @: http://medypijper.blogspot.nl/

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.
    Back to top

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.
    Back to top

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
