TRAVEL TIPS

With over two decades of travel experience, our advice to fellow travellers is always travel smart, be sensible and keep a low profile. Don't flash money or jewelry around, and stay with your group or travel companion. Practice the “buddy system” and do not wander alone at night. Always pay attention to your surroundings. 

The 8 best Travel tips

#1 - Pack lightly, and only pack what you're willing to carry 

Check your packing list and follow it to the letter. Then, put half of everything away. You don't really need all that stuff, do you? 

We recommend traveling with one lightweight duffle and a backpack. Leave your big, bulky suitcases at home. Instead, carry a small lightweight backpack on your flight to Peru for day trips and hikes in the ancient sites, and a larger duffle as your checked luggage (not to exceed 55 lbs). If you a solo traveler and visiting a local crowded market, wear your backpack across your chest. It will keep your belongings safe from stray hands. Secure with a wire rope and lock when traveling by local trains, jitney's. 

#2 - Layer, Layer, Layer 

Layer clothing for warmth, hat and sunglasses (with good UV protection), pack of pens and journal or sketchbook; money belt with safety pins; zip-lock bags for liquids, a travel alarm and a flashlight are must for any travel across continents. Bring your digital pocket camera and charger. When photographing local people in traditional wear at tourist sites a gratuity is often expected.
