Outside Lima and Cuzco, changing traveller's cheques is difficult.
ATMs distribute primarily $100solas - a unit which most stores are hesitant to take for both fear of counterfeiting and the fact that they rarely carry enough small change. Take the notes to a bank and get them changed into $10 and $5 solas.
