Could you please clarify whether it is permissible for individuals to utilize United States Dollars (USD) as a form of payment or currency in Peru? I'm aware that Peru has its own official currency, the Peruvian Nuevo Sol, but with the global rise of cryptocurrencies and the increased use of foreign currencies in certain transactions, I'm wondering if there are any exceptions or specific circumstances where using USD would be accepted. I would appreciate any insights or clarifications on this matter, as it could potentially impact my travel and financial planning for a trip to Peru. Thank you for your assistance.

This increase is typically not a significant amount, but it is something that consumers should be aware of.

Despite the prevalence of both currencies, there can be a slight disadvantage for consumers paying with USD.

This disadvantage primarily lies in the potential for higher costs when using USD.
