Tourist Visa (Visa de Turismo)
Peru is home to one of the world's greatest wonders — Machu Picchu — along with the Amazon rainforest, the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Lake Titicaca, and the mysterious Nazca Lines. Indian passport holders require a tourist visa to visit Peru. The visa is processed through the Peruvian Embassy in New Delhi. Peru offers 90 days of stay and is an extraordinary destination for history lovers, adventure seekers, and nature enthusiasts. The country's diverse geography ranges from Pacific coastline to Andean highlands to Amazon jungle, offering unparalleled travel experiences.

Submit application at the Peruvian Embassy in New Delhi. No appointment needed — walk-in submissions accepted. Pay USD 30 fee. Processing takes 10–15 business days.
