The best packing lists for Peru

Peru asks above all for layers. Cusco sits around 3,400 metres, the Sacred Valley lower, Lake Titicaca higher. A T-shirt does during the day, nights drop close to freezing, and the sun at that altitude bites far harder than at sea level.

Good to know for Peru

In the Andes, May to September is dry with clear cold nights, while December to March brings regular rain and slippery trails. On the coast, May to October puts the garua over Lima, a grey drizzle-mist that feels colder than the thermometer says.

The combination is unusual: outlets accept flat and round pins yet carry 220 volts, so nothing built for 110 alone can go in. The currency is the sol, and markets and villages take cash only, in small notes. Drinking water is bought, not drawn from the tap.

Stairs are the underestimated factor. Ruins, old towns and bus terminals are all steps, so travel light and wear shoes with tread.
