My own unique and wonderful trip to Peru

Trip to Peru
I was able to enjoy a trip full of experiences, with private arrangements for tours to Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain, and local sightseeing in Cusco and Lima.
We efficiently visited all the key spots, and I also received explanations about the history, such as Inca culture.
I was able to fully enjoy it to my heart's content ☺

I wanted to create my own itinerary, rather than joining a typical Japanese package tour.
Although I can't negotiate directly with local tourist information centers, I can plan my itinerary to some extent myself,
But since this time my destination was a difficult place to visit alone... for someone as particular as me,
I was really glad to have met Oooh's guide this time.
As for the price, considering it was during Obon season, I suppose it was reasonable. I did wish the hotel could be a bit cheaper, or that I could opt out of airport transfers.
They were willing to negotiate even the finer details like these.
For solo travelers, I think this is more affordable than booking multiple local tours individually through other Japanese websites.

Unfortunately, due to two flight delays, I had to cancel the Nazca Lines tour on the first day.
When communicating, the time difference caused a lag in responses between the Japanese company and the South American tour company,
so I was worried whether my messages were getting through properly via chat.
I'm not sure if the Japanese-to-English or Spanish translation in this chat is done by AI or through a Japanese staff member,
I couldn't use my phone during transit, and I can't speak English without Google Translate myself...
I thought it would be better if I could send emails directly in case of emergencies.
Emails are easier to edit, so even with my poor English, I find them easier to write.

There were various issues, but those are memories too.
Thank you for a trip that will remain a lifelong memory for me.

It was very good

Originally, we had planned to join a package tour, but since we couldn't gather enough people, it was canceled and we ended up asking oooh-san to arrange the trip for us on short notice.
Before the trip, they kindly answered even our detailed questions, which made us feel at ease.
Since our group included three generations, from teenagers to people in their eighties, having a private tour with a Japanese-speaking guide was wonderful, as we could listen to various explanations in Japanese.
Also, the guide took care of all the arrangements and provided guidance, so we could leave everything to them and enjoy the trip comfortably and with peace of mind.
They also recommended some great restaurants to us.
Peruvian cuisine was very delicious.
I was delighted that we were able to visit Machu Picchu, which we had long dreamed of seeing.
It was disappointing that our trip to see the Nazca Lines was canceled due to a sandstorm, but I hope to visit again for a second chance.

I want to see the guides again.

Pros
The guide taught us about the Inca civilization, plants, and birds.
We had a guide just for us, who was flexible and accommodated changes to our itinerary.
Cons
The local guide was not informed about the change in our flight time.

It was a smooth trip

They listened to my detailed requests, and I was able to go where I wanted to go and do what I wanted to do!
Due to the time difference, we ended up sending messages to each other late at night, but I think it went generally smoothly from the planning stage.

My dream trip to Peru!

Although it was a compact 6-night itinerary within Peru, it was a fulfilling experience that allowed me to leisurely enjoy my first visit to Peru.
Due to a delayed flight arrival and heavy congestion at immigration during my U.S. layover, I missed my connecting flight and had to take one 9 hours later. However, I was truly grateful for the swift adjustments made to the first day's itinerary.
As a result, I was able to tour Lima first and learn about Inca history through the excellent explanations of a Japanese-speaking guide, which left me very satisfied.
(I'll save the Nazca Lines for my next visit!)
Additionally, I dropped my passport in the transfer vehicle on the first day and was quite panicked, but it was delivered to the airport early in the morning, and I avoided any trouble. Thinking about what could have happened if I had lost it elsewhere gives me chills, but I was truly grateful for all the support provided.
The tours of Machu Picchu and Cusco were also highly satisfying, thanks to the clear explanations from the Japanese-speaking guide.
The food and drinks were delicious, the climate was comfortable, and the people of Peru were warm-hearted. I definitely want to visit again someday!!!

The travel itinerary was fulfilling.

The estimated travel itinerary was satisfactory.
The arranged hotel was also good.
However, the planned meals did not quite suit my taste,
I thought it would be better to improve the meals. (The meal content was somewhat lacking compared to the cost.)

We were blessed with good weather, and it was great to have a satisfying trip.

I am just grateful to have found such a good travel agency.

To be honest, I was worried about what to do if it was a scam since it was my first time using it. Now that the trip is complete, I am just grateful to have found such a good travel agency.

This time, I had a very good experience and trip.
I regretted not choosing Aloft as Mr. Sasaki suggested for the first day's hotel!
All the guides were good people, so we could travel with peace of mind. My husband also says that we had experiences beyond what we wanted to achieve, making it a very satisfying trip. Thank you for your efforts regarding the cost as well. We appreciate your courteous response. If there is another opportunity, we would love to work with you again.

    Since childhood, I have always been interested in other countries. Even after I started earning my own money in university and later in society, I would spend my free time thinking about where I wanted to go next. (Though I didn’t have much money, so I couldn’t often travel outside Japan...) Sometimes, I would set off from Narita alone, with only a plane ticket in hand and just a rough plan.
    Now, I find myself living in South America—something I never imagined. These days, I truly feel that you never know what life has in store.
    However, after starting my life in Ecuador and discovering its wonderful tourism resources and traditional crafts, I began to wish that more people around the world could learn about them. Hoping to contribute, even in a small way, to the country's development, I decided to join a local travel agency.
    A place you might think of as 'the other side of the world'—so far away—may feel much closer once you visit. Let’s leave everyday life behind and share new encounters and experiences together. I look forward to welcoming you on the other side of the world.

What kind of country is Peru?

Peru, rich in nature and history, is a very popular tourist destination visited by tourists from all over the world.
When you think of Peru, the first things that come to mind are Machu Picchu, ranked number one in the World Heritage rankings, and the Nazca Lines. However, there are also many other tourist attractions, such as the ancient city of Cusco located at an altitude of 3,400 meters and Lake Titicaca, a huge lake in Puno in southern Peru, making it impossible to see everything in one visit.
Additionally, the gourmet food using tomatoes, potatoes, corn, and chili peppers native to Peru (the Andes) is also excellent.

Average Temperature and Precipitation in Peru (Lima)

Average temperature and precipitation

Cash, cards and currency exchange
In Peru, cash is the primary means of payment. While credit cards are accepted at some tourist spots, hotels, and restaurants, cash is generally required. Where credit cards are accepted, it is recommended to use them in combination with cash.
For currency exchange, it is advisable to obtain US dollars in Japan beforehand and exchange them for local currency upon arrival. However, since US dollars are generally accepted in Peru, it is a good idea to prepare small denomination bills for exchanging Japanese yen to local currency.
Tips
Tipping is customary.
・Restaurant: Depending on the rank and service received, 5-10% of the bill is customary.
・Taxi: Generally, there is no need to tip, but if you receive special service, it is good to tip.
・Hotel porter or room keeper: About 1 dollar.
・Hotel room service: A tip of about 15% of the bill is common, but if the service charge is already included, there is no need to tip.
Public order
・In Peru, police patrols are conducted regularly, and it can be said that Peru's security is stable compared to other countries. However, even though it is stable, the crime rate in Peru is higher than in Japan.
・Due to occurrences of robbery, murder, and drug trafficking, it cannot be said to be completely safe, so always prioritize your personal safety and be cautious, even in tourist areas.
clothing
・In the rainy season in the capital Lima, there are many sunny days, and you can wear long-sleeved shirts. In high-altitude areas, it gets cold at night, so it's convenient to bring a jacket or sweater.
・During the dry season, due to the fog called Garúa, there are many cloudy days, so outerwear is essential.
Things you should bring
・Digestive medicine, cold medicine, mobile battery, insect repellent products, sun protection products, etc.
Visa availability and arrangements
・For short stays of up to 90 days for tourism purposes, obtaining a visa is not necessary. For other conditions, obtaining a visa suitable for the purpose of travel is required.
Required vaccinations
・There are no mandatory requirements for travel. However, vaccinations for tetanus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rabies, and yellow fever are recommended.
