Peru has a very stable currency, the Nuevo Sol (New Sol), for the last five years. The approximate rate to the US$ is 3.17 for each American dollar. Please confirm the last rate available in order to avoid surprises.

The American dollar is accepted widely in medium and big businesses (hotels, restaurants, souvenirs shops). In small businesses you will need Peruvian soles.

The Euro currency is starting to be accepted, but only for currency exchange, not for paying for products or services.
