WHY CHOOSE US?

Vacation Peru

Peru’s National Tourism Agency (Prom Peru) often indicates in its publicity that a holiday to Peru is a welcome escape from the daily grind. Click here for a link to a video of PROM Peru. But why Peru and what about security in Peru?

Holiday in Peru

A holiday to Peru means enjoying variety. Because Peru is so different from the Netherlands and other countries in Europe, your senses are much more stimulated in Peru. You will taste delicious new dishes, hear different music, and see the most special landscapes and cultural highlights! A holiday in Peru is therefore a good way to break your daily routine and drudgery in a colorful way.

Tourist attractions in Peru

During a holiday to Peru, the well-known tourist highlights, such as Machu Picchu, the Nasca Lines, and Lake Titicaca should not be missed. But Peru has much more to offer its visitors. Consider, for example, a visit to the green lungs of the world, the Amazon Rainforest. Or a trek along one of the three most beautiful routes in the world through the Huayhuas Mountains in northern Peru. In addition, a healthy mix of different cultures within Peru has also ensured that Peru has become a top culinary destination!

Security in Peru

We at Fairtravel4u regularly get the question from customers: “How safe is Peru?” It’s a good question that isn’t always easy to answer. Because what is considered safe? If you have to believe the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there are security risks throughout Peru. But all of Europe is safe to travel through. Nevertheless, no less than 796875 crimes were registered in the Netherlands in 2022, while in the first quarter of 2022 in Peru 172636 crimes were recorded. If I multiply that figure by four, Peru will be statistically safer than the Netherlands in 2022. Now I also know that there is little confidence in the police in Peru and many crimes are therefore not reported, but still, who determines which country is unsafe and why?

Vacation Peru safety

In our own experience, safety in a country mainly has to do with the place you visit, the time of your visit, your appearance and your attitude. On holiday to Peru, most holidaymakers mainly visit the safe areas. Most tourists stay in the capital Lima, for example, in the districts of Miraflores and Barranco. In these districts you can walk safely even after midnight. This while in the nearby La Victoria district you even have to watch out for pickpockets during the day… But that’s also the case in Amsterdam. Wherever you go on holiday, it is always good to not only look at the so-called safety of the country, but especially the safety of certain areas within the country and the cities you visit.

Prepared for vacation to Peru

Prepare well for your trip to Peru. Read up on the safety and possible risks in the areas you visit. Pay attention not only to possible contact with unwanted persons, but also, for example, to the safety of public transport and the risks of altitude sickness. But don’t let that scare you, most risks are easy to limit.

Tips on safe travel in Peru

Don’t dress and behave too flashy on holiday in Peru. Always go back to your hotel after using the ATM. A golden rule when walking on the street is that safety depends on the people around you. If there is a healthy mix of people of different backgrounds and ages, it is often safe. If no one is walking, there is often a reason for this, so it is better not to walk there either. However, if it is very busy, you have to be extra careful for pickpockets. Use taxis called by the hotel or restaurant. If you are roaming around the city and still want to take a taxi, make sure you pick a random taxi from the traffic, for example at a traffic light that is red. The vast majority of taxis in Peru are safe, but if a driver is in a bad mood, this taxi will be in a place where they know that many tourists come who need a taxi. Also make sure you have change before you get into a taxi. Only travel on (overcrowded) city buses if you are not carrying anything of value and avoid traveling on cheap long distance (night) buses. By law, long-haul bus drivers in Peru must rest every 4 hours. The more expensive bus companies in Peru adhere to this law by traveling with two drivers. The cheaper bus companies often do not do this. Carry two wallets with you, one with your important cards and money and one with an old bank card and about 30 Euro in the local currency (Soles).

Altitude sickness on holiday to Peru

Read up on the symptoms of altitude sickness before you leave for Peru Many popular travel routes within Peru, such as from Lima to Cusco, Nasca to Arequipa and Arequipa to the Colca Cañon and/or Puno, actually rise too quickly for our body to get used to it. So you will all experience along the way that you are a bit short of breath on your holiday in Peru those first days. Several travelers will also experience a slight dizziness and/or mild headache due to the lack of oxygen at high altitude. However, if your symptoms are worse than a mild headache and do not get better, it is important to travel back to a lower area.

Book a holiday to Peru

If you want to worry as little as possible about planning and safety during your holiday to Peru, let us at Fairtravel4u help you plan and organize your holiday in Peru. Together with you we choose the most beautiful and best travel route through Peru. We take into account your wishes, available time, budget and safety and health while traveling.
