Internet & Connectivity for Travelers

•    Wi-Fi in Lima: In neighborhoods like Miraflores and Barranco, you’ll find plenty of cafés, hotels, and Airbnbs with reliable Wi-Fi. Many are quiet and comfortable enough to get a few hours of work done.
•    Cusco: Wi-Fi can be inconsistent in budget hostels, but boutique hotels and some coworking spaces now offer stronger connections. Always check recent reviews or confirm with your host before booking.
•    Arequipa: Known as a calmer city, Arequipa has several cafés and hotels with solid internet, perfect for mixing light work with sightseeing.
•    SIM Cards: Pick up a prepaid SIM at the airport or in town. Claro and Movistar are the most common, while Entel works well in more rural areas. Data packages are affordable and great for tethering when Wi-Fi isn’t enough.
💡 Pro Tip: When booking accommodations, look for reviews that mention Wi-Fi quality or ask directly if you’ll need to attend calls.

Best Spots to Work on the Go

•    Cafés in Lima: Barranco and Miraflores are full of laptop-friendly cafés with good Wi-Fi, great coffee, and relaxed vibes.
•    Coworking Spaces: Coworking is growing in Peru, especially in Lima, Cusco, and Arequipa. They are a good option if you need a quiet, professional environment.
•    Hotels & Airbnbs: Many properties now highlight “fast Wi-Fi” in their listings. Always double-check reviews from other travelers who worked during their stay.

Balancing Work and Adventure

One of the best parts of traveling in Peru is how easy it is to mix work and play.
•    In Lima: Handle your emails in the morning, then enjoy coastal walks along the Malecón or try Lima’s famous restaurants.
•    In Cusco: Plan lighter work the first days while adjusting to the altitude. Later, you can explore ancient ruins or take day trips once your tasks are done.
•    In Arequipa: A relaxed city where you can work in the morning and spend your afternoons exploring colonial streets or enjoying volcano views.

Practical Tips for Remote Travelers

•    Altitude in Cusco: The city sits at 3,400m. Stay hydrated, take it easy the first days, and consider coca tea or local remedies if you feel lightheaded.
•    Water: Stick to bottled or filtered water, even for brushing your teeth.
•    Transport & Safety: Uber is safe and widely used in Lima. In other cities, taxis are common — always agree on the price before getting in.
👉 If you’re carrying laptops or phones, keep them in a backpack and avoid walking with them too visible on the street.
