The official currency of Peru is the sol (S/), divided into 100 cents. Coins of 10, 20, and 50 cents are in circulation, as well as coins of S/ 1, S/ 2, and S/ 5. Be cautious with counterfeit coins and banknotes.
Although the U.S. dollar may be accepted in some hotels, travel agencies, and tourism establishments, the currency used throughout the country is the sol. For everyday payments, markets, taxis, local restaurants, and small businesses, it is recommended to carry cash in soles.
There are several ways to exchange dollars or euros in Peru: banks, hotels, registered currency exchange offices, and money changers. However, it is recommended to exchange money at formal exchange offices or authorized entities, as they offer greater security than informal money changers and, in many cases, a more convenient exchange rate than hotels or banks.
Currency exchange offices usually work mainly with U.S. dollars and euros. To exchange other currencies, it is advisable to check in advance with a registered exchange office, a bank, or a local travel agency. For your safety, always check the banknotes and coins you receive, especially when exchanging money in unauthorized places or making cash payments.
Happy passengers
