Documents
Always carry your personal documents with you as you may be required to produce them at any time, especially banks, the police or security guards to enter the premises. If you want to rent a car, you need an international driving permit. (In the UK you can get of major post offices).

Values
You should avoid unnecessary risks by depositing valuables in the box deposit or a bank and with only low denomination banknotes and traveler's checks.

Post Offices
Wait in line. They are usually near the center of town and are open around the same time for the banks.

Telephone / Internet
There many internet cafes, many of which contain the phone, in addition to public telephone booths.
We recommend you buy a phone card making phone calls. These are available at kiosks and supermarkets. Beware of Internet cafes, as not everyone is on broadband and you can lose their connection, while in the middle of composing an email. You should ask if you have broadband (ADSL).

Transport
We recommend taxis as a means of transportation (rickshaw / motorcycle taxis in Iquitos). It is customary to tip the driver if he carries his luggage. The hotel will a taxi for you, for a certain time or place, or you can always pick one up in the street. It is normal to negotiate the fare with the driver before leaving. The hotel will tell you what to expect to pay.

Security
We would like to highlight that Peru is a safe country to visit, always take normal precautions.
No more terrorism that are in Europe or North America and crime is not a major problem.
But we would make the following observations:

* If you decide to use public transport, be careful crossing areas and take special care of their belongings. Do not wear a hat if you are sitting next the open window of a bus, as it could be taken. Snatch thieves especially like hats (baseball caps).
* Use discretion in the exercise objects value. Do not carry large amounts of cash.
* Take your money and identification in a money belt, but be aware that thieves have been known to cut the bottom of these, but this has to be close to you. So stay away from anyone trying to crowd you. Keep an eye on your bags and luggage.
* We have experienced someone coming to us and asked if we have any change. When we show what we have, thinking that he wants to change something, he takes and says thanks we will return.

Then he runs off.
* Take normal precautions against pickpockets.
* Do not take your case, purse or backpack.
* Do not change money on the street.
* Avoid walking alone or in dimly lit areas at night.

Food & Drink
Peruvian cuisine offers a wide variety of dishes typical of the Coast, Sierra and the Amazon Region. Ask about ingredients and some can be very hot or spicy – a problem for stomachs are not used to it. In addition, there are restaurants serving international cuisine.

As for drinks, try chicha morada (purple corn juice), chicha jora (fermented red or yellow corn drink) or any fresh fruit juice. Inca Kola is a popular soft drink (soda), which is less soft drink Coca Cola. They call queue gold and is much more popular than Coca-Cola.

Tips
In Peru, the amount of turning varies from one place to another and depend their satisfaction with the service you receive, but please note that when leaving the airport "shippers", will descend upon you, and try to take your luggage although you may not need him away.
