TRAVEL TIPS

Altitude sickness

The symptoms of altitude sickness tend to appear in areas above an altitude of 2,000 m.a.s.l.  In order to avoid it, we recommend that you eat light meals, drink plenty of liquid (coca tea is ideal) and rest for the first few hours following your arrival in order to get used to the altitude.

Foreign currency exchange

The official currency is the nuevo sol, represented by the symbol “S/.”.   Most business establishments accept dollars at the daily exchange rate.  Currency exchange service is available at the cash register in our Reception area 24 hours a day.  Additionally, you may exchange dollars and euros at banks.
