"SONJIA CUHER: On behalf of Expert Village, this is Sonjia Cuher. You know how to avoid custom problems. Peru's a very laid back country when we talk about passport problem--I mean, custom problems. But you gotta have a passport and it has to be a valid one like this, and I will recommend you to always make a copy. Because you have to have a copy all the time, you have to carry your passport everywhere you go. You never know, people may ask you, police may stop you. I am not going to try to scare you, but actually it could happen. So always be ready. One other thing that I will strongly recommend to take, it is one of these, I don't even know how they are called, but these are so good because you can actually put it inside your pants and they are not bulky at all. Leave your passport, your valuables, your money, things like that, and carry your [INDISCERNIBLE] in your hand. You know, some people like to carry their vaccinations card, but it's not necessary. If you go to the jungle, I will strongly recommend always check, but in Peru, believe it or not, our health system, it is somehow--many people would call it, not as efficient as the United State's one, but if you get sick, you can go to a hospital, get free treatment, you're going to be charged for only between $2 to $5, it's that all. And especially if you go to a jungle and they can see there can be an infectious disease, you won't be in trouble at all. But those are the important things to take."
