Tickets
From most places in the world, South America can be a relatively costly destination. The
high season for air travel to and within Peru is late May to early September, as well as
around major holidays. Look for lower fares outside peak periods.
Contacting a travel agent that specializes in Latin American destinations and shopping
around for competing online fares can turn up cheaper tickets. Students with international
student ID cards (ISIC is one widely recognized card) and anyone under 26 can often get
discounts with budget or specialty travel agencies. A good option to check out is

, which has offices around the globe. The agency also sup-
ports Planeterra, a foundation for community development.
