As Peru prepares to welcome thousands of national and international visitors for two of its most important cultural celebrations Inti Raymi in Cusco and the San Juan Festival in the Amazon Peru's National Institute for the Defense of Competition and Protection of Intellectual Property (Indecopi) has released practical recommendations to help travelers enjoy a safe, informed, and hassle-free experience.
With visitor numbers expected to increase during these celebrations, authorities encourage travelers to plan ahead, choose formal tourism providers, and understand their consumer rights before and during their trip.
Choose Certified Tourism Services
One of Indecopi's main recommendations is to book services through registered and authorized tourism businesses. Travelers are encouraged to verify companies before making reservations, helping ensure reliable transportation, accommodation, guided tours, and travel packages.
Using licensed operators not only improves the quality of the travel experience but also provides greater protection should any issue arise during the journey.
Keep Your Travel Documents
Indecopi advises visitors to retain transportation tickets, hotel confirmations, receipts, and payment records throughout their trip. These documents serve as proof of purchase and are essential if schedules change, cancellations occur, or customer assistance is needed.
Travelers booking complete tour packages should also carefully review:
- Included services and excursions
- Cancellation and refund policies
- Travel schedules
- Additional fees or conditions before confirming payment
Know Your Consumer Rights
Hotels, restaurants, and tourism providers are required to display their prices clearly, including all taxes and mandatory charges. Travelers should not be asked to pay unexpected fees that were not disclosed before purchasing a service.
If a problem occurs during the trip, visitors have the right to request the official complaints book from the business. Tourism providers are legally required to respond to consumer complaints through the established process.
Travel Prepared for Peru's Biggest Festivals
Every June, Inti Raymi transforms Cusco into one of South America's most celebrated cultural destinations, while the San Juan Festival fills Peru's Amazon region with traditional music, food, dances, and community celebrations. These events attract visitors from around the world seeking authentic cultural experiences.
Planning accommodations, transportation, and entrance tickets well in advance is highly recommended, as availability becomes limited during the festival season.
