Security and Safety

Travel with peace of mind across Peru

Your Peace of Mind is Our Goal

Peru is generally a welcoming country for tourists, but like any destination in the world, it is important to follow basic safety guidelines.

Safety in Urban Areas

When walking through Lima, Cusco, or other cities, maintain common sense:

  • Awareness: Keep your belongings in sight at all times, especially in crowded places like markets or bus stations.
  • Valuables: Avoid displaying expensive jewelry or large sums of money in public. Use your hotel's safe for passports and valuables.
  • Walking at night: Stay in well-lit and busy areas. In large cities, prefer ordering a taxi via an app or through your hotel.

Transportation and Mobility

Moving safely is fundamental to a great experience:

  • Taxis: Do not take informal taxis on the street. Use apps like Uber or Cabify, or request taxis from recognized companies.
  • Interprovincial Buses: Choose reputable companies (such as Cruz del Sur or Movil Bus) that offer high safety standards and GPS tracking.
  • Tours: Always book with registered and authorized travel agencies (like us) to guarantee your safety on the routes.

Emergency Numbers

Always carry a card with your agency's contact numbers and local emergency services:

  • Tourist Police: Specialized in helping travelers (Cusco: 084 249654).
  • National Emergencies: Dial 911 (or 105 for Police, 116 for Fire Department).
  • Agency Assistance: Our team is available 24/7 for any incident during your trip.
