Where are you in USA now? near D.C.? Peru has embassy in DC. You can apply visa there or by mail. Whether you are visa exempt (USA, HK, ...) or with a visa, then again you pay for a fee for a tourist card at the port of entry. Many Middle or South America countries are like that, even if you hold an USA passport.
The following is from the Peruvian embassy in D.C. website. It seems to be translated from Spanish, so difficult to understand: http://www.peruvianembassy.us/do.php?p=102
Tourist Visa
* United States citizens do not need a visa to visit Peru if you are traveling as a tourist with a valid US passport.
* Must fill the visa form; attach a copy of the passport and American visa or residence, along with a letter of the place of work, study or other.
* Once the authorization is granted, the visa will be fixed on the passport, showing the air ticket or booking and having a valid passport for the length of the trip.
* The visa cost is US $ 30.00, paid in cash or money order on the name of Consulado General del Peru.
* If the request is made by mail, a FedEx pre-paid envelope with name and address should be included.
* US reentry permit is not accepted as a passport in Peru, therefore a valid passport must be presented in order to obtain a Peruvian visa.
* You will be issued a tourist card upon entry, which is valid for up to 90 days. You may renew your tourist status at a Peruvian immigration office (Oficina de Migraciones) for 30 days. The revalidation will cost twenty (20) dollars. The main Oficina de Migraciones in Lima is located on Prolongacion España #734, in Breña (phone 330-4112).
I have had further digging, as part of my trip planning. To enter Peru, China nationals need visa in advance. China HK SAR, Australia, USA, ... nationals exempt from visa.
If you plan to go to Macchu Picchu in summer, there will be a lot of tourists, especially students. You can book the up-the-hill train ticket online in advance. The backpacker train is cheaper. Also note that Patagonia would be extremely cold in summer (their winter).
跟美国签证没有关系，主要是看你用的什么护照。如果是台湾、香港、澳门的护照都是免签证的。
中国大陆的护照，不要说落地签，即使去各地的领事馆申请，也很麻烦。
实际上，南美洲没有一个国家是可以简单落地签的。
thx~~
I have check the website, indicating it will take five days at most
