About Peru
DO I NEED A VISA TO ENTER PERU?
The only thing you need to enter Peru is a valid passport. Countries that are members of the Andean Community (Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia) can enter Peru with their identity card. Please check if you need a visa or if there are any restrictions before you travel to Peru.
http://www.consulado.pe/es/paris/tramite/Paginas/Visas/Visa-Turismo.aspx
DO I NEED TRAVEL INSURANCE?
Yes, it is advisable to purchase travel insurance before embarking on any trip, especially if you are traveling internationally, engaging in adventure activities or extreme sports, visiting countries with expensive or limited health care systems, or if you have a pre-existing medical condition. Travel insurance can provide peace of mind and financial protection in the event of unforeseen circumstances while traveling.
WHAT IS THE CURRENCY OF PERU?
The national currency of Peru is the Nuevo Sol. It is popularly referred to as “Sol” and it is very common to hear it referred to as “Soles”. We have bills of 10, 20, 50, 50, 100 and 200 Nuevos Soles, with coins of 10, 20 and 50 cents and coins of 1, 2 and 5 Nuevos Soles. Also, in very touristic cities, you can often pay with US dollars in selected stores and hotels.
In Peru it is very easy to find exchange houses and banks where you can easily change US Dollars. In the tourist cities you can change other currencies of the world, to avoid problems with money it is better to bring US Dollars. We also have ATM’s in all cities, connected with Plus (Visa) and Cirrus (Master Card / Maestro), American Express, Dinner Club and others.
DO I NEED TO CARRY CASH DURING MY TRIP?
Yes, you will need it if you are going out of your comfort zone during your trip: trekking, volunteering, traditional markets, etc.
WHAT ARE THE RECOMMENDED HOLIDAYS IN PERU?
Peru is a country of living culture and its traditional festivals are still celebrated. Because of the colonization it suffered, all these festivities are mixed with Christianity. In the traditional cities (now touristic) there are many festivals throughout the year. In the case of Cusco, it is almost likely that you will hear fireworks every day. We are very festive, the traditional festivals in Inca times were celebrated for 8 days. That is why nowadays only the first day (or only “the first day”?) and the last day are celebrated, in other cases, due to the importance of the festivities, they are celebrated from beginning to end. Below is a list of the most important festivals.
– Lord of the Tremors (last October sunday)
– Candelaria (February 2)
– Holy Week
– Feast of the Crosses (May 3)
– Qoyllurit’i (between May and June)
– Cusco festivities all of June
– Inti Raymi (June 24)
– Paucartambo Sun Dance (between July 15 and 19)
– Warachicuy (September 18- it can change)
– Lord of Huanca (September 14)
– Day of the Dead (November 1)
– Christmas Day
– New Year
– Night parties throughout the year
– Catholic Holidays Throughout the Year

Also, at the beginning of the ascent there is a detour to the left that goes to the Temple of the Moon, it takes 3 hours to get to the Temple of the Moon.

Hotel / Accommodation
WHY 4-STAR HOTEL?
Because our therapeutic services are oriented to people who are at the bottom of western life and our proposal is not to restrict or prohibit but rather to make people understand the human capacity that history wanted to erase from our lives.
Learning new mythological, specific and complex topics of life is a lot of work for the brain and sleep is very important for the brain to be able to filter the information, so a good sleeping environment is necessary to understand and 4 star hotels will recreate your western environment for the success of the therapy.
If you are one of the people who have already started to awaken the consciousness and want a simpler accommodation, just contact us.
CAN I GET A DIFFERENT ACCOMMODATION?
Yes, you can. For any kind of change in accommodation or other details of the IntiTravel.Org programs feel free to contact us to improve your experience.
HOW IS THE ACCOMMODATION?
The accommodation is according to the number of people in the booking, as the price published in the Packages and Expeditions are based on:
1 guest = 1 single room
2 guests = 1 double/matrimonial room
3 guests = 1 double/matrimonial room + 1 single room
4 guests = 4 twin/double + 1 single room
5 guests = 2 double/twin rooms + 1 single room
And so on and so forth.
This type of accommodation is basic and for the purpose of publishing standard prices for our services. In case a different accommodation is required, please contact us to guarantee a better experience.
CAN I MAKE A BOOKING WITHOUT HOTELS?
Yes, you can, this applies to Packages and Expeditions. Please note that our services are different from the classic tours and therefore it is necessary to maintain a continuous and detailed communication of the areas where you will make the booking of the hotels for the execution of the tours with normality.
WHAT IS FAMILY HOUSE?
Well, among the types of accommodation we use are:
4 star hotel
Lodge
Family house
As we have exclusive services, the hotel services are only around the main tourist attractions and to avoid long car journeys we will spend the night in the houses of the inhabitants of the area.

Therapy
WHAT METHOD IS USED?
This is the ancestral method as it was done in ancient times to awaken the consciousness of those who are trained in the ancient arts (those who handle metaphysics at will), the only difference is that with us there will be no concoctions, meditation or similar. We explain it in this epic way because humanity is in the countdown and if you are in a difficult situation of any kind, you should know that the devil does not bother his own.
It is the Inka method and is based on History, Science and Simplicity, to relearn about life and rediscover the knowledge that history could not erase from your DNA, with the simple purpose of saving life in this world through your mental world. . awaken the consciousness of those who are trained in the ancient arts (those who handle metaphysics at will), the only difference is that with us there will be no concoctions, meditation or similar.
It is the Inka method and is based on History, Science and Simplicity, to relearn about life and rediscover the knowledge that history could not erase from your DNA, with the simple purpose of saving life in this world through your mental world.
HOW DOES THIS THERAPY WORK?
This is therapeutic tourism and therefore the field of therapy development is open environments, reaching different places where at the same time the brain is promoting neuroplasticity. During the historical guides, emphasis will be placed on demonstrating that the archaic nature of history is actually human development, what humanity currently considers as utopia. Science supports the benefits of simple life, but has not been able to explain many archaeological and historical evidence, but with our ancestral knowledge it will be easier to comprehend life and more.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
Book your trip with us and be open to new knowledge (empty your glass) and be very honest with the reality of your life, is the basic thing you can do.
Something secondary is to start reading history books and what is commendable is the history of ancient civilisations, civilizations so that from your knowledge we can rediscover everything about life.
WHAT DOES THIS THERAPY SOLVE?
All types of mental disorders, any type of personal and social problems, acute and chronic. In the case of chronic disorders or problems, it is recommended to come with a family member or close friend.
Stress, like other terms used by psychiatry, has a common root, there is nothing that does not have a solution and especially if the patient is aware of the need for a solution.
WHY SHOULD I HAVE THERAPY DURING MY TRIP?
Because you can have more benefits in a couple of weeks than three weeks of therapy with a therapist, and this is because we have shamanic knowledge that will solve life on this planet through your mental health.
On the other hand, if the question “Why” is playing in your head many times? Should I? That reveals a lot about your lifestyle and the reason why you are reading about therapy. If this is your case, your success in therapy will take longer than we can expect, but everything can change if you start to decide about life without thinking too much about the uncertain future.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE THERAPY?
The purpose is to rediscover the knowledge that history could not erase from your DNA, to relearn about life.
That’s right, life was manipulated a long time ago and all mental illnesses and disorders are just the cry of consciousness to return to the path, the awakening of consciousness.
In simple words, the purpose is to save life on the planet.
WHAT MAKES IT WORK?
Because we use the ancestral knowledge of life through science, explained from the filter (brain) that interprets life, bringing reality from the reason of cosmic forces that are summarized in the simplicity of consciousness and the unlimited capacity of the consciousness in life.
Life has many mysteries, which were well known in ancient times, all our work is for a greater cause and saving life on this planet is what makes this therapy work.
WHO NEEDS THERAPY?
Apart from all those who have mental disorders or problems, all those who have crossed the line of conformism in the face of the reality of life imposed by social engineering.
All those who feel that life has something more but do not want to do meditations or ancestral ceremonies (or at the moment), this is for you, consciousness unites us.
WHY THERAPY FOR TRAVELERS?
Because the inhabitants of westernized countries consume more than necessary and even things that should not be consumed (it is not about drugs), on the other hand the inhabitants of developing countries only imitate westernized countries. As you can see, the scenario to save life on the planet is easier to do through the consciousness of all those who are being attacked by an energy that leaves free those who do not have an important mission in this world.
You still don’t know your mission and you don’t know much about life either. Come rediscover what history could not erase from your DNA, there is an entire ancestral lineage in you that supports you.

Undoubtedly the best season is when you are ready to face nature: sun, earth, air and water, which form the big smile life you have now, living in harmony will give you the experience never imagined with us.

The dry season in Peru generally lasts from May to October on the coast and from April to October in the highlands. During this time there is very little rainfall and the weather is usually dry and sunny. On the coast, temperatures can reach 30°C / 86°F or higher, while in the highlands the nights can be quite cold. The dry season is a popular time to visit Peru, as the weather is pleasant and there is less rainfall, making many tourist sites more accessible. However, it is important to consider the altitude and exposure to the sun and its effects, so it is always a good idea to bring something to cover up and sunscreen.
The rainy season in Peru generally lasts from November to March on the coast and from December to March in the highlands. During this time there is more rainfall and the weather is usually wetter and more cloudy. On the coast, temperatures can be cooler and rainfall can be heavy, making some areas difficult to access. In the highlands, rain can cause landslides and other safety issues. Nevertheless, the rainy season can be an interesting time to visit Peru, as the mountains and green landscapes can be breathtaking, and it can also be a good opportunity to experience local festivities such as Carnival. It is important to be prepared for the rainy season, especially if you plan to hike or travel by road, and be aware that some destinations may be closed due to extreme weather conditions.
The best time to visit Peru depends largely on the interests of the traveler and the regions he/she wishes to visit. In general, however, the best time to visit Peru is during the dry season, which is usually from May to October on the coast and from April to October in the highlands. During this time, the weather is generally dry and sunny, making it easier to travel and explore tourist sites. In addition, many festivals and cultural events take place during this time. However, if you are interested in wildlife, landscapes or nature in general, the rainy season may be better, especially for the freshness of the fields and how surprising the weather can be, as the rains bring life throughout the Andes.
