Introduction
Perhaps no other country has more to offer the visitor than Peru; panoramic mountain ranges, vast deserts, beautiful beaches and tropical jungle. All this combined with a rich historical and archeological past and enduring indigenous cultures. To reflect the importance of tourism to the national economy, Promperú has set up 11 offices around Peru of Tourist Information and Assistance to help visitors solve any problems they may encounter. There is a 24-hour hotline based in Lima (tel: (1) 574 8000). For locations outside the capital there is a toll-free number (0800 4 2579) that operates weekdays 0830-1630. The South American Explorers Club is another good source of information on the area and has an office in Lima, offering a variety of services to its members such as equipment hire and a safe luggage store. For further information on any of the topics mentioned in this section, please contact the Tourist Information and Assistance 24-hour service (tel: (1) 574 8000; e-mail: iperulima@promperu.gob.pe).
