You have quite a few options for getting around Peru, including buses, trains, boats, and domestic flights. If you're travelling on a tight budget, buses are generally the most economical way to get around, and the bus network is also the most comprehensive transport option. Buses go between major hubs like Lima and Cusco but also head out to small beach towns like Huanchaco and villages like Puno. Some spots in this mountainous country, however, are not accessible by bus. Iquitos, for example, is a jungle-bound city that's only accessible by plane or boat. Similarly, if you wish to visit the islands in Lake Titicaca, a boat will be your best option. For a unique view of Peru's jungles and mountain peaks, you may consider travelling by train. There are two main railway lines – the Central Railway and the Southern Railway. Popular trips include Lima to Huancayo and Cusco to Machu Picchu. It's important to keep in mind that train travel is generally sold as a novelty experience rather than as a convenient mode of transport, and you can expect a bumpy ride. For convenience, flights, buses, and boats are the favoured means of transport in Peru.

Australian citizens do not need a visa for visits to Peru for up to 180 days for tourism purposes. Instead, you need to get a permit upon arrival. The main thing you'll need is a passport with at least six months' validity and at least one blank page for entry and exit stamps. Proof of a departing ticket will probably also be a requirement for entry to Peru. If you believe the 180-day tourist visa does not match your purpose of travel or your intended length of stay in Peru, you should contact your nearest Peruvian embassy or consulate to determine the right course of action and apply for the relevant visa.
