Food and drink in Peru


Food and drink in Peru

If you stay in good hotels you may be able to avoid catching diarrhea, otherwise you might. Just don't worry too much about. There are some rules that could avoid the worst:
  • Avoid unboiled tap water, if possible. This can be difficult; If you eat a salad or drink some fruit juice, it will probably be prepared with tap water. Avoid ice in drinks if you can.
  • If you must drink tap water, use some purification like mikropur.
  • Don't eat food prepared in the street (if you can resist it).
  • When going to cheap restaurants, first have a smell and listen to what your nose says.
  • In some areas, refrigerators are rare. Just go to the meat section of a typical market hall and take a smell, you will understand. If you would rather eat vegetarian food, it can be hard to find. Chicken is worth a try, since they are mostly fresh.
  • Don't eat unpasteurized milk products.
