Peru is popular with tourists due to its unique places, distinctive culture, beautiful flora and fauna, as well as unexplained mysteries. To make your trip go "as smoothly as possible", follow some tips:

- Do not drink tap water or buy food on the street
- If you're planning a trip to the Amazon, be sure to get a yellow fever vaccination and take malaria pills
