If you are travelling to Peru then you may be wondering whether you will need to tip at places such as restaurants and hotels while you are visiting.  

Tipping from tourists is something that Peruvian locals have grown accustomed to and a practice that is expected of travellers to Peru. Due to their low wages, tips are graciously received by Peruvian locals working in tourism and hospitality. The extra money earned through small tips can go a long way in helping these workers provide for their families.

So, do you need to tip in Peru? The answer is yes, it is also a nice way of saying thank you for the exceptional service that you will find in Peru.
