On cost, Peru is mid-priced for travelers: everyday prices sit at about 46 on a global index where the United States is 100. See how Peru compares to 179 countries.

On power, you are in luck: both Canadian outlets and Peru's use Type A, so many of your chargers should fit as-is. Voltage differs too (220/380 V there versus 120/240 V, 120/208 V, 347/600 V at home), so check for a dual-voltage label before plugging in. Full plug and voltage guide for Peru.
