The Peruvian sol is the currency used for everyday expenses. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted at hotels, travel agencies, and larger restaurants. Cash is useful for taxis, markets, public restrooms, tips, and small towns. Exchange money at authorized exchange offices or withdraw cash from ATMs operated by major banks. Let your bank know you will be traveling and withdraw moderate amounts at a time so you do not end up paying ATM fees every few blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
