Do you have a link to a government document that shows the "US citizens can stay in Peru as a tourist for up to 90 days in a 180-day period and a max of 183 days in a year."
The "Requerimientos de VISA para extranjeros" just says 90 , Not 90/180 like it does for many other countries.

I'm considering either rolling the dice with a border run to Chile or trying to make an appointment at the Migraciones office here in Cusco and pleading with an agent. I'm traveling in my own car with a TIP, which is its own problem, but in my experience the aduanas are always happy to extend your TIP as long as your tourist visa is valid.

So, paying Migraciones a visit quite certainly is a waste of time; but you could try.The point I was discussing with SM was that the document of the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs shows that US passport holders can stay in Peru for 90 days. It doesn't say if these 90 days are in a 180-day period or in a 365-day period.Practice, however, has shown, that - as most other foreign nationals - US Americans as well can stay a max of 180 days per year. If you already stayed in Peru 90 days and leave the country, upon your return you might get another 90 days (if you haven't already stayed 6 months during the last year) or just 60, 45 or 30 or whatever the immigration officer is happy with. No-one can tell you how the immigration officer interprets the regulations and evaluates your case.As you are in Peru with your car on a TIP, I highly recommend to not overstay! Police/customs has the right to impound your car and I'm sure you don't want to go there.GreetingsEva
