FAQ�s About coming to Peru
Do I need a visa to travel to Peru? 
Traveling to Peru only requires a valid passport for citizens of the Americas (except Cuba), European Union, South-East Asia, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Citizens from other countries should request a tourist visa in the Consulate of Peru in their respective country. To determine if you need a visa go to: http://www.consuladoperu.com/archivos/visaextranjeros.htm

How do I get to and from the airport ? 
AIS has selected a Destination Manager company who will provide different options for attendees to get from the airport to the hotels including private cabs, shuttles and private vans at very convenient rates. One way fare starts at $15.00 per person.

Is Peru dangerous (conference area, Lima, countryside)? 
Lima, the capital city of Peru, is as safe as any large metropolitan city worldwide with more than 9 million inhabitants. The conference area is within the residential district of San Isidro, which has been specially selected for its safety. This does not mean that travelers should not take basic precautions such as not neglecting their belongings in public places or avoiding deserted sites at night.

What tours are available? How do I book tours? 
Complete information about pre- and post-conference tours, as well as tours for guests is available at the conference website: http//www.amcis2010.org. These tours will be offered by the selected Destination Manager company for AMCIS 2010 at very competitive rates.

Are hotel room rates similar to those in the US? 
Room rates for Amcis 2010 attendees are very convenient as breakfast and internet access are included in the price. Different hotel options are available in the section HOTEL INFORMATION. Prices range between $ 110 and $ 229 per night.

A SUGGESTION: Book your flight as early as possible and enjoy airfare rates similar to those when traveling in the US from coast to coast.
