Around the center and <strong>tourist areas<\/strong> you&#8217;ll find that a lot of people speak <strong>English<\/strong>, at least enough to get by. But, if you head away from the center you\u2019ll see that not many know any, and just knowing a few words can help you <strong>communicate <\/strong>in the <strong>markets<\/strong>, and maybe even get a <strong>better price<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Knowing-Spanish-help-specially-buy-things.jpg\" alt=\"Knowing Spanish help specially buy things\" class=\"wp-image-1999\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Knowing some Spanish will help you a lot especially to buy things. <br>Photo by: ANDINA\/Difusi\u00f3n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-always-carry-your-passport\">ALWAYS CARRY YOUR\nPASSPORT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of us don\u2019t like to have our <strong>passport<\/strong> on our person at all times. But, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/gastronomy-in-cusco-7-famous-foods-you-must-try\/\">Cusco<\/a>, it\u2019s a<strong> good idea<\/strong>. Firstly, you\u2019ll need it to get into a lot of attractions around the city. You won\u2019t be allowed in without it and that can be really frustrating, especially if you\u2019ve traveled out of town to see something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, many shops ask to see it if you\u2019re paying on a <strong>credit card<\/strong>. The last thing you want is to have spent 30 minutes going around the supermarket to get some provisions, only to find that you can\u2019t pay for them when you get to the counter. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"930\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Cusco-Peru-carry-passport.jpg\" alt=\"Always carry your passport\" class=\"wp-image-2000\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">If you are in Cusco or Peru, you always need to carry your passport.
