Hoe veilig is het?

Tourist areas are generally safe. Petty theft is common in Lima, Cusco, and on buses. Altitude sickness affects many visitors in Cusco (3,400m). Protests can disrupt transport with little warning.
Waarvoor moet ik oppassen qua oplichting?
Fake taxi drivers — use official taxi apps or have your hotel call one.
Distraction theft in markets and bus stations.
Fake tour operators in Cusco — book through reputable agencies.
Welke gezondheidsmaatregelen zijn verstandig?
Altitude sickness is serious — spend 2 days acclimatizing in Cusco before trekking.
Drink coca tea (mate de coca) to help with altitude — it's legal and traditional.
Drink only bottled water. Lima's ceviche scene is world-class but eat at reputable spots.
Welke vaccinaties zijn verplicht?
Hepatitis A and Typhoid recommended.
Yellow Fever for Amazon region.
Routine vaccines up to date.

Do not drink tap water. Bottled water available everywhere.
