Most citizens from countries in the Americas and Western Europe do not need to obtain a visa to enter Peru. The maximum allowed stay period is 90 days. However, if you wish to stay longer or have other purposes such as residency, study, research, or work in the country, you will need to apply for the relevant visa through Peruvian consulates before your trip.
The currency in use in Peru is the Nuevo Sol (S/). Although the US dollar is accepted in most hotels, shops, and restaurants, its value is based on the daily exchange rate, indicating how many Soles you get for each dollar. Some places also accept euros, but it is advisable to make payments in the national currency, the Nuevo Sol.

However, most four and five-star hotels offer 110-volt electrical outlets. Electrical outlets in Peru generally have two inputs. Therefore, it is advisable to bring an adapter for your electrical devices.
