Did you know? Peru

In 1991 Peru did something almost unthinkable to its money: it knocked six zeros off the entire currency. After years of catastrophic hyperinflation that had reduced the inti to confetti, the government swapped one million intis for a single nuevo sol. The old inti had itself replaced the sol just six years earlier, named for Inti, the Inca sun god. Today the currency is again simply the "sol" the same name first adopted in 1863, derived from the Latin solidus, a Roman gold coin. Few national currencies have died, been reborn, renamed and re-pegged so many times in a single lifetime.

  • Currency To kill hyperinflation in 1991, Peru exchanged one million old intis for one nuevo sol, erasing six zeros from every price overnight.
  • Currency name The sol is divided into 100 centimos and its name traces to the Latin solidus, a Roman gold coin, while its predecessor the inti was named after the Inca sun god.
  • Passport A Peruvian can cross into Bolivia, Colombia and Ecuador using only a national ID card no passport required thanks to the Andean Community's open-travel rules in force since 2005.
  • Passport power Peru's burgundy passport ranks 35th worldwide on the 2025 Henley Passport Index, opening around 143 destinations without a prior visa.
  • Passport design The cover reads "COMUNIDAD ANDINA" above "REPUBLICA DEL PERU," marking it as one of four harmonised Andean passports built to a shared ICAO security standard created in 2001.
  • Citizenship Peruvian nationality by descent can reach grandchildren of a Peruvian-born citizen, and the constitution lets you keep it for life unless you formally renounce it before a Peruvian authority.
  • Documents Every Peruvian's identity is recorded by RENIEC, an autonomous constitutional body that registers births, marriages, deaths and voting eligibility and issues the national DNI card.
  • Ancient records Caral in the Supe valley is the oldest known city in the Americas roughly 5,000 years old, built before Egypt's Giza pyramids, and so ancient its people never used pottery or writing.
  • Origins The potato was domesticated near Lake Titicaca, the world's highest navigable lake, and Peru still cultivates over 3,000 native varieties.
