What should I pay attention to when traveling to Peru?

1. If you want to travel to Peru and Chile from China, you must apply for a visa at least three months in advance. Looking back now, we didn't get a visa from Peru until the end of July 2006, and only started applying for a visa from Chile in early August. As a result, the visa office of the Chilean Embassy was so inefficient that it was not approved in mid-September, so we had to temporarily change our air tickets and itinerary and finally go sightseeing in Peru. Ironically, it wasn't until mid-June 165438+ 10 that I returned to Beijing from Peru for a month, and the Chilean embassy suddenly informed me of the visa approval and asked me to take my passport to post visa papers!

2. If you have self-driving experience, you can consider renting a car to visit Lima? NASCAR NASCAR ground wire? Parakaspa lacasse National Park 1 Line. The road conditions are good and the scenery along the way is good. It would be better if four people shared the rental fee. Unfortunately, we didn't rent a car because we were worried about safety. Shall we go to Beijing by Air Canada? Toronto? Round trip to Lima, air ticket tax is about 15000 RMB/person, individual ticket. There is no way. Air Canada's flight to South America is the shortest flight in China, and it has an advantage in price, saving at least four hours of flight time. Americans who take this route are usually business travelers, businessmen and offices of large domestic companies in South China. For them, the Canadian transit visa is not a problem, while self-help tourists have to apply for a Canadian transit visa to fly to South America by Air Canada. So the visa should start as early as possible.

3. If Brazil, Peru, Chile and Argentina are the top four countries to travel in South America, and your holiday does not exceed 20 days, it is better to travel to one country at a time. This time, my husband and I will spend 1 1 day in Peru, although we didn't get a Chilean visa before we left. Fortunately, there is something wrong with the visa in Chile, otherwise the original plan of only playing in Peru for eight days is really too tight.

4. It is wise to arrange the Nazca Nazca Ground Line and Parakaspa lacasse National Park in front of Kuzko in Cuzco (Machu Picchu) and Lake Titicaca. I have just flown for more than 20 hours, and I will soon go to high-altitude cities such as Kuzko in Cuzco, and I need more time to adapt to altitude sickness.

Most people fly from Lima to Cuzco Kuzko in the morning. It is suggested that after arriving at 10- 1 1, instead of staying in Kuzko, Cuzco, go directly to Machu Picchu from Kuzko, Cuzco and stay at Machu Picchu? Aguas Calientes. The elevation of this town is only over 2400 meters. It is nearly one kilometer lower than Kuzko in Cuzco, which is a good way to gradually adapt to the altitude. More importantly, it was leisurely to visit Machu Picchu the next day. When a large number of tourists arrived from Cuzco in the early morning, it was already 10, and you had enjoyed Machu Picchu quietly for more than two hours.

6. If you don't want to take a sightseeing plane (airsickness is reflected, it is recommended to be on an empty stomach), you can go to the watchtower next to expressway and see only two or three paintings. I'm sorry to say that my husband and I are airsick, which is the result of eating too much breakfast. We got off the plane and went back to the hotel to rest until 1 1. After we checked out, we went on our way.

7. Leave the Nazca Nazca ground line and follow Pan Am in the afternoon. In the north, the Pan-American Highway is a highway winding in the Pacific Ocean, with sea water on one side and desert on the other. What a beautiful view!

8. Language is not a big problem in hotels and tourist areas, but in remote places. But it doesn't matter. If you can't pronounce Spanish words, read them in Chinese Pinyin first. If the other person still doesn't understand, you can only make gestures. Peruvians are very simple, don't worry if you don't know English, just speak your own Spanish!
