Lima

There are lots of cultural activities (visits to museums) going during this period and lots of restaurants of good Peruvian and international food.

For tourists the recommendation is not carrying jewelry or large amounts of money. If you carry a camera, take it in a bag, to avoid calling attention.

Currency

The currency in Perú is the NUEVO SOL. The current rates approximately
1EUR=3,9394 nuevos soles peruanos; 1US$=2,7442 nuevos soles peruanos.

The US dollar is accepted in most of the businesses, restaurants and gas stations at the rate of the day. Even though exchange peddlers can offer you better rates than those of a bank, you take the chance of being deceived. Changing your money at the hotel is a lot safer but rates can be up to 5% higher. You can also change your dollars and euros in banks and exchange establishments.

Most businesses take the best known credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, Diners and American Express. The use of traveller checks has its limitations; ask if they would be accepted.

In most restaurants it would be enough between 5 and 10% of the total. It is not usual to tip taxi drivers.

Telecommunications

For telecommunications: Perú’s country code: 51; Lima’s area code: 01.

Visa

Individuals requiring an official letter of invitation in order to obtain a visa and authorization to attend the conference should contact Luis Valdivieso Serrano at lvaldiv@pucp.edu.pe
