Creidt cards
 
What's the deal with credit cards in Peru? Debit cards also??? Suggestions/recommendations anyone?

Credit cards work everywhere, but some debit cards do not work at certain ATMs. I had a lot of problems. But if you have trouble, you can always get a cash advance on your debit card from one of the exchanges.

We used American Express and/or Master Credit cards everythwhere and ATMs. We did not use a debit card. Had no problem with either.

Why would you use a credit card to take cash from an ATM (and pay interest) instead of from your checking account?
