Peru Travel Deals Tips: Travel Documents

Your passport must be valid for six months from the date of travel.  If your passport is about to expire you will not be granted entrance to Peru.  It is also worthwhile checking whether you need a visa (www.peru.visahq.com/). 

Make two copies of all your travel documents (tickets, flights details, itineraries, passports) and leave one copy at home with friends or family. Keep any copies you carry with you separate from your other documents.

We also scanned our documents into a Word document which was then password protected and e-mailed to ourselves, so we could access them quickly if necessary.  Bear in mind that Internet Cafes are not necessary secure places to access this information.

When travelling between towns always have your passport with you as legally it needs to be ready for inspection at any time.  

Carry your money, passport, and credit card with you at all time – don’t rely on the safety of the hotel safes.  A concealed pocket within our trouser pockets once kept our cash safe (not in Peru I hasten to add) during an armed robbery.
