Peruvian cuisine is diverse and flavourful, with influences from indigenous ingredients, Spanish, African, and Asian flavours.

It is generally safe to eat food in Peru, especially at reputable restaurants and hotels. As with any destination, it’s a good idea to stick to fresh, well-cooked food and drink bottled water.
Yes, travel insurance is highly recommended. It provides coverage for medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and lost luggage, ensuring peace of mind during your travels.

The best time to visit Peru is from May to September, during the dry season, which is ideal for trekking and exploring the Andean highlands. The rainy season, from November to March, can be less favourable for outdoor activities in the mountains, though the Amazon region is still accessible year-round.
