 Recommendations
Do not wear jewelry of any kind when out in the street. If you
wear a watch, be sure it is hidden by your shirt sleeve. Shoulder
bags, camera cases and knapsacks can be slit open from below
or behind. Keep purses and packages on your lap when travelling,
not on a seat nor the floor beside you. It is highly recommended
that you carry some I.D. at all times. Do not leave Lima without
your passport. Contact your consulate if your passport is lost
ormissing.
|
 Customs
Objects of archaeological, historical or artistic value may
be taken out the country only if you carry the proper permition.
Peru has international agreements with most countries for the
confiscation and the return of the objects when taken abroad,
so do not take any risks.
|
 Water
& Meals
It is advised that you drink only bottled water. Most tap water
in Peru is processed differently that abroad, and therefore
could make you sick. Avoid eating from any of the vendors cooking
in pushcarts along the street there have been incidents of typhoid
and other diseases among some of their customers!
|
 Drugs
As far as drugs are concerned. Peruvian law is clear and concise
as well as very strict, forbidding all possession of, use of
and dealing in narcotics, including marijuana and cocaine. Violators
are not deported, but are jailed and tried under Peruvian law.
Foreign offenders are usually dealt with as international traffickers
with sentences ranging from 15 years to life. The entire legal
process from arrest to sentencing can take nine months to two
years. There is no bail. Your consulate can provide moral support
and little else!.
