How to Travel from Peru to Morocco: Guide for Travelers
Passport, flights from Lima, budget and a route designed for those who cross half the world: everything for a trip from Peru to Morocco without surprises.
If you already know the Andes and the coastal desert, Morocco will fascinate you: adobe kasbahs, valleys with palm groves, snow-capped mountains and immense dunes, all in a single country. And from Lima the trip is simpler than it seems.
Entry requirements for Peruvians
Peruvians with an ordinary passport can enter Morocco without a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days. Carry with you:
- A valid passport (six months of validity and blank pages are advisable).
- A ticket out or onward travel.
- A reservation or the address of your accommodation for the first nights.
- Travel insurance with international medical assistance, which is not mandatory but is advisable.
Because Peru has areas at risk of yellow fever, check with the Moroccan consulate whether you will be asked for any health certificate on the date of your trip, and keep your vaccinations up to date. For the layover in Spain or another Schengen country, Peruvians do not need a visa for short stays; check whether the ETIAS system (start expected at the end of 2026) is already required before buying.

How much it costs and when to go
As a rough guide, the round-trip ticket from Lima can range between 900 and 1,500 USD depending on dates. Mid-range accommodation is around 50-120 USD per night in a double room. To make the flight worthwhile, a trip of between 8 and 12 days is advisable.
- Fiestas Patrias (late July): intense heat inland and in the desert; better combined with the coast and the mountains.
- Holy Week and New Year: highly sought-after dates; book early. We have specific proposals for Holy Week and New Year's Eve in Morocco.
- March-May and September-November: the best seasons to tour the cities and the desert.
Recommended route
- 3-day tour from Marrakech to the desert, if you only have a few extra days.
- 6-day desert tour, linking Marrakech and Fes via the Atlas and Merzouga.
- 10 days in Morocco, to add imperial cities and the coast.
Practical tips from Peru
- Currency: the Moroccan dirham (MAD). Bring euros or dollars in cash and complement with ATMs; soles cannot be exchanged in Morocco.
- Time difference: Morocco is six hours ahead of Peru (five during Ramadan).
- Altitude and climate: if you are used to altitude, the High Atlas will not be a problem; in the desert, the contrast between day and night is marked.
- Food: tagine, couscous and mint tea are essential. If you have allergies or special diets, let us know in advance.
