Peruvian citizens need a visa to enter Togo. You can obtain a Visa on Arrival (visa d'entree) at Lomé Airport (LFW) for a short period, usually seven days, which can be extended. Ensure your passport has at least six months of remaining validity. It is also vital to carry proof of sufficient funds and a return or onward ticket. Always check the latest regulations with the nearest Togolese embassy before purchasing your airfare.

The main transportation within Togo includes shared taxis (called 'taxi-brousse' for long trips), minibuses, and motorcycle taxis ('zemidjans') in the cities. Zemidjans are the fastest and cheapest way to get around Lomé, but negotiate the price before getting on. For long distances, buses are more comfortable than shared taxis. Consider renting a car with a driver for greater comfort and safety, especially if you plan to explore areas off the main routes. Roads can be challenging, so plan your trips during daylight hours.

In Lomé, you will find a range of hotels, from luxury options to more modest accommodations. Outside the capital, options are more limited, consisting mainly of simple hotels or 'auberges'. For longer stays, consider renting apartments or houses through local platforms. Book in advance, especially during the high season (November to March). Check if the accommodation offers air conditioning or fans, as the climate can be very hot and humid. Always confirm included services, such as breakfast or Wi-Fi, when making your reservation.

Togo is generally safe, but caution is recommended, especially in Lomé. Avoid walking alone at night and keep your valuables out of sight. Be careful of common scams, such as unsolicited guide offers or people asking for money with false stories. Use ATMs at banks or large hotels. If using zemidjans, ensure the driver seems reliable. Always carry a copy of your passport and visa, leaving the originals in a safe place at your accommodation. Vigilance is key, as in any large city.

Togolese culture is warm and respectful. Greeting people is important; a handshake is common. If invited to eat, it is polite to accept. Dress should be modest, especially outside Lomé and when visiting religious sites. It is important to ask permission before taking photos of people or certain government buildings. Learning a few basic phrases in French (the official language) or Ewe will be greatly appreciated and facilitate interactions. Patience and a smile are valuable tools for navigating cultural differences.

Togolese food is based on corn, yam, cassava, and rice, often served with rich, spiced sauces and fish or meat. Try 'fufu' (yam paste) and 'akume' (corn paste). 'Brochettes' (grilled meat skewers) are popular. Local beer, such as PILS or Flag, is refreshing. Drink only bottled or purified water. Street food is delicious, but choose stalls with high customer turnover. Restaurants in Lomé offer a mix of local and international cuisine for all tastes.

Togo has a tropical climate, hot and humid all year round. Pack light, cotton, and breathable clothing. A light raincoat is useful during the rainy season (April to October, with a break in August). Don't forget insect repellent, sunscreen, and a good hat. A basic first-aid kit with stomach medication and painkillers is essential. Plugs are Type C and E (220V voltage), so you will need an adapter. Carry cash (West African CFA Franc - XOF), as cards are not widely accepted outside large hotels.

For an authentic experience in Togo, go beyond the obvious tourist sites. Visit the fetish market in Lomé, a unique place to understand local beliefs, but be respectful and do not take photos without permission. For the best photo, head to Aneho beach at sunset, where the fishermen's canoes create a spectacular silhouette against the sky. Try taking a 'zemidjan' (motorcycle taxi) at night in Lomé to feel the city's energy. Negotiating with a smile and showing genuine interest in the local culture will open many doors.
