Restrooms

Toilets in Peru can vary in terms of availability and conditions, depending on where you visit. Here are some considerations and tips about toilets during your visit to Peru:

Infrastructure: In urban and tourist areas, you will find public toilets in shopping malls, restaurants, hotels, gas stations and tourist attractions. These bathrooms are generally in better condition and offer an adequate level of comfort.
Toilets in rural areas: In rural areas, toilets may be more basic, especially in remote areas or remote communities. You may find simple toilets with basic facilities, such as pit toilets or latrines.
Pay toilets: Some public toilets in Peru, especially in crowded tourist areas, may require a fee for use. This fee is usually nominal and is used to maintain the cleanliness and upkeep of the toilets.
Hygiene: Always carry tissues or wet wipes with you, as not all bathrooms provide toilet paper. It is also advisable to carry hand sanitiser to ensure good hygiene.
Sewage: In some places, especially in rural areas, it is important to be aware that sewage disposal systems may be different from what you are used to. In these cases, it is advisable to follow the instructions and not to flush toilet paper or personal hygiene products down the toilet, but to dispose of them in the containers provided.
Toilets in restaurants and establishments: It is always a good option to use the toilets in restaurants, cafés or other establishments where you consume food or drink. These places usually offer clean and cleaner toilets for their customers.
Have local currency: Some public toilets may require you to pay a small amount of money in local currency to use them. It is advisable to carry some small change for these cases.

Remember that every place and situation may be different, so it is important to adapt to the circumstances and take precautions to maintain personal hygiene during your trip. Always look for safe and clean toilets for your comfort and well-being.
