Peru has always been a top destination in South America, for reasons beyond the ruins of Machu Picchu. There are the vibrant cities of Lima and Cusco, the mysterious Nazca Lines, a multitude of ancient temples and archaeology, breathtaking Colca Canyon, and peaceful Lake Titicaca – not to mention the friendly and welcoming attitude of the Peruvian people.

Now, it has become a bit easier to enter Peru for your bucket list adventure. As of November 2016, Peru has been utilizing a virtual Immigration Card (also called a TAM Card) rather than a physical form. This has made the process more efficient and cut down on paperwork.

Now, when you enter Peru, you will proceed right to the Immigration Agent with your passport and your details will be entered electronically. They will record your fingerprint and take a photograph before stamping your passport. Please remember to request your printed virtual Immigration Card and check that your passport has been correctly stamped and then you can be on your way.

It makes sense after all – in a country with so much to do, why waste a second more than necessary in line at immigration?

Christine at Esplanade Travel planned our recent trip which found us traveling to four very different and fascinating regions in Chile. The trip was absolutely beautiful, memorable and so suited to our specific interests! We have had the pleasure of working multiple times with travel consultants at Esplanade Travel and they continue to amaze us with the itineraries they develop and their close working contacts in other countries that always result in worry-free travel for us. We tend to stay in multiple areas with multiple connections and with the expertise in planning at Esplanade all of our reservations, contacts, pick-ups and drop-offs occur seamlessly. Our travels started in Santiago before heading south to the Lakes District, further south to Torres del Paine in Patagonia, then west to Easter Island. All of the lodges we stayed in were so comfortable with gorgeous views, the guides were super knowledgeable about the cultural and natural history of every location we visited, and the food was fantastic! On Easter Island our native guide, Sabrina, was able to provide us with her intimate knowledge, passed down to her from her ancestors, of the history and culture of the Rapa Nui people. I highly recommend Esplanade Travel to everyone, and I guarantee we will be contacting them to assist us with our next great adventure!
