If the minor travels without their legal guardians, a notarized authorization is required. Check your country's authority for the specific format.
Yellow fever vaccine is not mandatory but recommended. Travel insurance is also not mandatory, but highly recommended — especially for treks and adventure sports.
US dollars are widely accepted. Also carry a smaller amount in Peruvian soles for markets and crafts. We recommend exchanging at reliable exchange houses in Peru. International cards are also accepted.
