Photography

 

 The following areas are off-limits to all photographers: mines, civilian airports, railroad stations, military barracks, military instruction center, naval bases, air bases, police stations, water and energy plants, oil wells and petroleum refineries. When in doubt, we advise you to seek permission first. For those travelers wanting to take photographs of local people, it is common courtesy to pay your "social dues" first. Smile, engage in conversation and ask the locals questions. Ask if they would mind having their photograph taken, and upon taking it, thank them. Cuzco is infamous for locals asking for tips for having their photograph taken. Unfortuantely this is due to the heavy effects of tourism in the area. We advise against tipping people for photos. An exchange of social etiquette is far more beneficial and it does not encourage begging.
