💡 General Tipping Etiquette

Peruvians aren’t big tippers but every tip is appreciated due to low salaries.

🍽️ Restaurants

Most restaurant and bar bills include a 10% gratuity. It’s customary to add an extra 10% if the service has been satisfactory. Most Peruvians only tip one or two Soles at small “mom and pop” restaurants that do not add a tip to the bill. A 10 to 20% tip will be warmly accepted at any restaurant.

Taxis do not expect tips. Fares are negotiated prior to initiating the trip.
