We strongly encourage tipping and feel that it is a wonderful way to support the culture and economy. Though tipping amounts vary, 15% – 20% is a general rule of thumb. Many guidebooks express that tipping is not customary or expected in Peru. We have a different approach. Tips are a special way of showing one’s appreciation.
If you are on one of our trips based out of Pisac Inn, you can leave the tip in the provided envelope at the end of your stay, and it will be divided among the staff. Please tip your driver and guides directly, and if you have a spa treatment, please give tip directly at spa.
Again, tips are greatly appreciated, and we highly encourage tipping as a wonderful way to express your gratitude, especially if you are happy with the service you receive.
Gifts: Many travelers also bring small gifts. For children we suggest school supplies, arts and crafts materials, face creams, be creative! We don’t suggest candy or gum.
Photos: When you take photos on the street they will expect a few soles per photo. Be prepared to have this on hand before taking a photo.
Donations: For those who feel moved there are many opportunities to give donations.
