Most asked questions about the @Peru Instagram profile

¿What is the Peru Instagram account all about?

We want the world to get to know the historic, natural, cultural and culinary wonders of Peru. Through our photos and those of our visitors, we inspire travel enthusiasts to explore our country. 

¿How can my photos be shared?

Add the #Peru or #EatPeruvian hashtag or tag @Peru in your pictures of our country on your Instagram account and we will pick the most impressive ones. It's that simple!

¿If I share my pictures, will they be used anywhere else besides the Peru Instagram account?

Sometimes we post our visitors' Instagram pictures on our other social media accounts like Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest, and in our official web pages. But don't worry; we always give photo credits so that your talent and picture can become famous!

¿What kind of photos do you repost?

Any picture that reflects the magic of Peru by showing our nature, culture, food, or any other interesting aspect of our country, and that matches our image requirements.  

¿How do you pick the photos you share?

The first thing that we pay attention to is whether it's a picture that would inspire us to go to Peru. For your photography to achieve that, it has to be an appealing image that gets the attention of Instagram users or shows our geographic, cultural, culinary, and ecological diversity.

¿Do I need to be a professional photographer for you to share my pictures?

¡Of course not! When you get to Peru you will realize just how easy it is to take a beautiful picture of our country. Every corner radiates beauty that deserves to be photographed!

¿How can I contact you, @Peru?

If you want us to get your photos, the best thing to do is to write the hashtag #Peru or #EatPeruvian, or mention us in your pictures. For other questions, write to us at marcapais@promperu.gob.pe

¿How can I increase the chance of my picture being shared?

As you know, we Peruvians love to eat delicious food, so inviting us for a nice ceviche wouldn't be bad...Just kidding! You just have to captivate us with a spectacular picture of our country. Easy, right?

¿Is Peru the best country to visit?

Probably, but we will let you find that out for yourself (and share your experiences on Instagram).

¿Will I be able to find Paddington bear in the Peruvian rainforest?

¡If you find him, send us a picture and we assure you that we will post it on our account!

¿Can you repost one of my selfies to motivate more people to come to Peru?

Honestly, probably not... It's not that we don't like you, it's just that through an intensive study on Peruvian tourism, we learned that most tourists like seeing pictures of Machu Picchu, the Peruvian rainforest, food, animals unique to our country, and above all, our kind llamas.

So it would be tough if it were just a selfie... Unless it's a #Selfiellama. That would change everything!
