Altitude Sickness in Cusco.
The altitudes experienced in the Andes may have an adverse effect on you if you are not used to such heights. On reaching heights above 4,000 feet, heart pounding and shortness of breath are a normal response to the lack of oxygen in the air. However, for some visitors these symptoms can deteriorate into a condition known as Soroche (or acute mountain sickness) which has symptoms such as headaches, extreme tiredness, loss of appetite, insomnia and often nausea. Symptoms usually develop during the first 24 hours at high altitude. To prevent Soroche, on arrival don't over exert yourself. Be sure to rest and avoid alcohol, cigarettes

Tipping in Peru Most restaurants do not include a tip on the bill, but some more expensive restaurants do. Locals do not leave very big tips, but at least 10% is recommended if the service is good. Taxi drivers are not tipped, and the fare should be negotiated beforehand. If on a tour with a company, we suggest tipping guides, cooks, porters who carry baggage, and mule wranglers when applicable and if satisfied with the service

Climate in Peru: Peru's climate can be divided into two seasons-wet and dry-though the weather varies greatly depending on the geographic region. Because Peru is in the Southern Hemisphere, the "summer"is considered to be from January to March. During these months, the weather is usually sunny and warm on the coast and on the western slopes of the Andes. Coastal temperatures are normally between 75 and 85 degrees in the summer. In the high Andes, however, January to March is the wet season, when rains can be heavy but the vegetation much greener. Summer temperatures at high altitudes are usually mild during the day, 55-70 degrees, and colder at night, 40-50 degrees.

During the winter, or dry season (April to November), the coast is usually cloudy and colder. In the high Andes regions, the weather is dry and sunny during the day, but temperatures can drop below freezing at night. The dry season is the most popular for travel in the Andes and the jungle areas.

Electricity in Perú
Electric supply in Peru is 220 volts AC, 60Hz - twin flat blade (as used in the USA) and twin round pin plugs (as used in continental Europe) are both standard here .
