Recommendations for travelers in Peru
Traveling through Peru is a wonderful experience, full of amazing landscapes, culture, nature and an incomparable gastronomy. Therefore, in this COVID-19 pandemic, we think this information and recommendations are important for you:
PROTOCOLS IN PERU

Peru was awarded the label WTTC “Safe Travels”, which recognizes the following tourist destinations for safety and hygiene against the COVID-19: Cusco (the city of Cusco, the citadel of Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley), Iquitos (the Amazon River and Pacaya Samiria National Reserve), Amazonas (Kuelap), Ayacucho (region), Lima (District of Miraflores) and beaches in Piura (Mancora, Cabo Blanco, Vichayito, Los Organos, etc.).

Travelers entering the country must fill out a sworn statement (link) and provide it before boarding the plane, as well as a negative molecular test (PCR), or a negative antigen test or a medical certificate of epidemiological discharge. The results must be obtained no later than 72 hours prior to check-in.
