Important Information

Access to major tourist destinations in Peru is regulated by official entities such as the Ministry of Culture, which controls availability and entry to historical sites.

To enter certain attractions, a prior reservation or permit is required, which must match the traveler's personal information (full name, ID or passport number, and nationality).

Authorized travel agencies are the only entities that can legally and securely manage these permits.

Entrance fees are limited, so booking in advance is recommended.

If you wish to change your travel dates, this will be subject to availability and may require a new reservation.

These are official regulations that all visitors must respect. If you cannot find availability for your desired date, we have equally incredible alternatives that we can recommend so you can make the most of your experience in Peru.
