Food & Water Safety
They eat guinea pig!

Peruvian food is incredible, but be smart about where you eat. Street food can be safe if it’s hot and freshly made, but opt for busy stalls with a fast turnover. Stick to bottled or filtered water, and avoid ice in rural areas unless you know it’s safe. Consider bringing water purification tablets or a SteriPen if heading off-grid.
Try classics like ceviche, lomo saltado, and cuy (guinea pig) if you're adventurous—but ease in slowly if you have a sensitive stomach.
Per the USA CDC, our local health service recommended we brush our teeth in bottled water, and always use best judgment. Talk to your doctor.
