The hook
Altitude acclimation: 48 h minimum, coca reality check.
Before you fly
Run the Visa Checker with your passport against PE. If you're travelling between June and November and heading to Western Australia, check the Wildflower Tracker — species windows are tighter than most guides suggest.
Safety brief
Review the Scam Spotlight entry for Cusco. Pair with the 3-3-3 Rule if you're unfamiliar with crisis-priority frameworks. Download a Digital Escape eSIM before landing — Saily has a better fallback VPN than Airalo in censorship events.
At destination
Order with an allergen card from the Vibe Meal Orderer. If you're planning hikes or nature walks, lean on the Trail DNA library for water access and cellular dead zones — both matter more than most guides admit.
Every city file starts with one field-tested tactic. The rest is framework. The framework is reusable.
