Can I buy Peruvian Sol in the UK?

 

Yes, you can exchange pounds to Peruvian sol in the UK right here with Asda Money. With our Price Promise, we’ll beat the exchange rate offered by any travel bureau within 5 miles.

 

Should I exchange money before I travel to Peru?

 

Changing money before you travel to Peru means you’ll get a more competitive exchange rate and won’t need to worry about foreign transaction fees while on holiday.

 

What is the best currency to take to Peru?

 

Peruvian sol is the official currency of Peru, but US dollars are also widely accepted. Although you may be able to pay with US dollars in a lot of places in Peru, you shouldn’t rely on this. By travelling with Peruvian sol in your pocket you’ll be sure you can pay everywhere you go. Using dollars also means you’ll be subject to an unofficial exchange rate often decided by the shop or bar you’re paying in – you’ll likely end up paying more than if you used the local currency.

 

Should you take cash to Peru?

 

Yes, it’s always a good idea to take cash with you to Peru so you have money in your pocket whenever you need it. Relying on your debit card or contactless transactions means you’ll pay more fees and likely won’t get as competitive an exchange rate as you would when changing your money in advance. 

 

Is GBP accepted in Peru?

 

No Peru doesn’t accept GBP. Change GBP to Peruvian sol before you travel so you have the right currency when you land in Peru.

 

Can I use my debit card in Peru?

 

Yes, especially in big hotels and cities you may be able to use your debit card. But you’ll likely pay foreign transaction fees and likely won’t get as competitive an exchange rate as when you change your money in advance.

 

Do you tip in Peru?

 

It is common for tourists to tip in Peru, especially in restaurants with the average being around 10% [7].
