Good To Know

  • We ask you to provide your passport number and date of entry to Peru before the tour for all the tour participants (through an online form). Sending this information allow us to exonerate you from the 18% local tax as it confirms you're a foreign, and not living in the country. If you want to be exonerated from the tax, it's really important to send us your passport number and date of entry at least 1 day before the tour. You don't need to bring your passport to the tour.
  • It is really important to advise any specific dietary restrictions at time of booking, otherwise we cannot assure we will be able to adapt the menu the day of the tour.
  • Please note guides will not be providing their service in multiple languages simultaneously. Make sure you book the correct tour/language.
  • Pick up and drop off is not included for Group tours. Private tours with transportation available on the Exquisito Perú website.
  • If you have a severe gluten or nuts allergy, please do not book this tour as some foods included in the tour can contain traces.
