Les vendeurs dans les petits commerces, les march\u00e9s ou les taxis n'ont souvent pas assez de monnaie pour les billets plus importants comme S\/100 ou S\/200, et avoir des petites coupures rendra vos achats beaucoup plus fluides.<\/p>\n<h3>Le r\u00f4le du dollar am\u00e9ricain (USD)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Il est largement accept\u00e9 pour les paiements plus importants, tels que les visites, les s\u00e9jours \u00e0 l'h\u00f4tel et dans certains restaurants haut de gamme.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CRITICAL:<\/strong> US dollar bills must be in pristine condition. Any bills with small rips, tears, writing, or heavy creases will likely be rejected. It is also wise to carry newer series bills, as older designs are sometimes refused.<\/li>\n<li>Pour votre commodit\u00e9, il est pr\u00e9f\u00e9rable d'utiliser les dollars am\u00e9ricains pour les paiements pr\u00e9-arrang\u00e9s et de s'appuyer sur les Soles p\u00e9ruviens pour les d\u00e9penses quotidiennes telles que les repas locaux, les taxis, les achats au march\u00e9 et les petits souvenirs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Acc\u00e9der et \u00e9changer de l'argent<\/h2>\n<h3>ATMs (Cajeros Autom\u00e1ticos)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>La mani\u00e8re la plus pratique d'acqu\u00e9rir la monnaie locale \u00e0 votre arriv\u00e9e est d'utiliser un guichet automatique.<\/li>\n<li>Ils sont facilement disponibles dans toutes les villes et les plus grandes agglom\u00e9rations. Cependant, ils peuvent se faire rares dans les r\u00e9gions \u00e9loign\u00e9es ou rurales, alors planifiez en cons\u00e9quence.<\/li>\n<li>For reliability and security, we recommend using ATMs affiliated with major banks such as <strong>BCP<\/strong>, <strong>Scotiabank<\/strong>ou <strong>BBVA<\/strong>. It is best to avoid standalone, non-bank ATMs often found in small convenience stores.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fees &amp; Limits:<\/strong> Be prepared for two separate fees per withdrawal: one from the local ATM (approximately S\/20, or $5-6 USD) and one from your home bank. Withdrawal limits are typically around S\/700 or $200 USD per transaction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>S\u00e9curit\u00e9 :<\/strong> For your security, use ATMs located inside a bank or a well-lit store, preferably during daylight hours. Always be aware of your surroundings and cover the keypad when entering your PIN.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Cartes de cr\u00e9dit et de d\u00e9bit<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Acceptance:<\/strong> Visa is the most widely accepted card in Peru, with Mastercard being a close second. American Express is accepted far less frequently.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Where to Use:<\/strong> Major credit and debit cards are generally accepted in mid-to-high-end hotels, restaurants, and large supermarkets within cities. They are not a common form of payment in small towns, local markets, or for taxi fares.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Surcharges:<\/strong> Be aware that some businesses may add a surcharge of approximately 5% to your bill when you pay by card. It is always best to ask beforehand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Traveler&#8217;s Reminder:<\/strong> Before you depart, please notify your bank and credit card companies of your travel dates and destinations. This simple step helps prevent your cards from being blocked due to suspicious activity alerts when they detect international transactions.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00c9changer des esp\u00e8ces<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Where to Exchange:<\/strong> For the best exchange rates and your security, always use official <code>Casas de Cambio<\/code> (exchange houses). While you will see licensed street money changers (<code>cambistas<\/code>) in many cities, we advise against using them to minimize risk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Airport Exchange:<\/strong> The exchange rates offered at the airport are typically unfavorable. If you must exchange money upon arrival, we suggest exchanging only a small, necessary amount ($50-$100 USD) to cover immediate costs like a taxi.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Il est essentiel de se rappeler que, tout comme pour les d\u00e9penser, seuls les billets de dollars am\u00e9ricains neufs et en bon \u00e9tat seront accept\u00e9s pour l'\u00e9change. Tous les billets endommag\u00e9s, sur lesquels il y a des \u00e9critures, ou qui proviennent d'une s\u00e9rie plus ancienne seront rejet\u00e9s par les bureaux de change et les banques.<\/p>\n<h2>Guide de budg\u00e9tisation quotidienne<\/h2>\n<p>Les estimations suivantes sont quotidiennes et par personne, et visent \u00e0 vous aider \u00e0 planifier votre budget.

In mid-to-high-end restaurants, a tip of 10% is a welcome gesture. At smaller, family-run eateries, a tip is generally not expected.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Guides touristiques :<\/strong> It is customary to tip your guides for their service. For a full-day group tour, a guideline is S\/20-S\/30 per person. For private guides or the team on multi-day treks, a larger amount is appropriate and often pooled among the group.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Conducteurs :<\/strong> For a private driver on a full-day trip, a tip of S\/15-S\/25 is suitable. Tipping taxi drivers is not expected, but it is common practice to round up the fare to the nearest Sol.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Personnel de l'h\u00f4tel :<\/strong> For a porter who assists with your luggage, a tip of S\/3-S\/5 is customary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>N\u00e9gociation sur les march\u00e9s<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>When to Bargain:<\/strong> Bargaining is an expected and integral part of the shopping experience in artisan and souvenir markets. However, it is not appropriate to bargain in food markets, supermarkets, boutiques, or restaurants where prices are fixed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How to Bargain:<\/strong> The key is to remain polite, friendly, and to smile. A respectful starting point is to offer a price that is 20-30% lower than the initial asking price and negotiate from there.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Conseil :<\/strong> Learning a few basic numbers in Spanish can be very helpful in the negotiation process and is often appreciated by vendors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nous vous encourageons \u00e0 aborder la n\u00e9gociation non pas comme un concours agressif, mais comme une interaction amicale. L'objectif est de parvenir \u00e0 un prix qui semble juste pour vous et pour l'artisan, en respectant son art et ses moyens de subsistance.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>G\u00e9rez vos finances au P\u00e9rou : Conseils sur la devise, les cartes et les budgets<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":46762,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"Money Matters &#038; Budget to visit Peru Peru","_seopress_titles_desc":"Manage your finances in Peru: Tips on currency, cards, and budgets","_seopress_robots_index":""},"tags":[562,23],"article-type":[24794],"collection":[27040],"continent":[24758],"country":[46],"class_list":["post-25248","travel-guide","type-travel-guide","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-peru","tag-practical-information","article-type-practical-information","collection-repull","continent-south-america","country-peru"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travel-guide\/25248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travel-guide"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/travel-guide"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25248"},{"taxonomy":"article-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article-type?post=25248"},{"taxonomy":"collection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/collection?post=25248"},{"taxonomy":"continent","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/continent?post=25248"},{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=25248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
