Tourist Visa (Visa de Turismo)
Peru is home to one of the world's greatest wonders — Machu Picchu — along with the Amazon rainforest, the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Lake Titicaca, and the mysterious Nazca Lines. Indian passport holders require a tourist visa to visit Peru. The visa is processed through the Peruvian Embassy in New Delhi. Peru offers 90 days of stay and is an extraordinary destination for history lovers, adventure seekers, and nature enthusiasts. The country's diverse geography ranges from Pacific coastline to Andean highlands to Amazon jungle, offering unparalleled travel experiences.
Get yellow fever vaccination at least 10 days before travel — it is mandatory for Peru. Obtain the International Certificate of Vaccination (yellow card). This is a strict requirement.
Gather all required documents including passport, financial proof, travel itinerary, hotel bookings, and return flight. Peru requires a detailed day-by-day itinerary including Machu Picchu entry tickets.
Book Machu Picchu entry tickets in advance — they sell out months ahead, especially for sunrise slots. Include ticket confirmation in your visa application as proof of planned activities.
Submit application at the Peruvian Embassy in New Delhi. No appointment needed — walk-in submissions accepted. Pay USD 30 fee. Processing takes 10–15 business days.
Track your application status through the embassy. If additional documents are requested, respond promptly. The embassy may call for an interview in some cases.
Collect passport with visa stamp. Book the Inca Rail or Peru Rail to Aguas Calientes for Machu Picchu access. Acclimatize in Cusco (3,400m) for 1–2 days before high-altitude activities.
Yes, yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for entry into Peru, especially if visiting the Amazon region. You must carry the International Certificate of Vaccination (yellow card). Get vaccinated at least 10 days before travel.
Book Machu Picchu entry tickets at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for sunrise slots and Huayna Picchu mountain. Tickets sell out quickly. Book through the official Peruvian government portal.
Cusco sits at 3,400m and Machu Picchu at 2,430m. Altitude sickness (soroche) causes headaches, nausea, and fatigue. Acclimatize for 1–2 days in Cusco, drink coca tea, stay hydrated, and consult your doctor about Diamox medication.
Absolutely! A popular South America circuit combines Peru (Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley), Bolivia (Salt Flats, Lake Titicaca), and Argentina (Buenos Aires, Patagonia). Our team specializes in multi-country South America itineraries.
May to September (dry season) is ideal for clear views and trekking. April and October offer fewer crowds. Avoid January–March (rainy season) when the Inca Trail is closed for maintenance.
