• Health Declaration for entering Peru

Until October 12, 2022 everyone - visitor, resident and Peruvian; adult and child; vaccinated or unvaccinated - who came to Peru by air was required to present a Health Affidavit when entering the country. This changed with the Ministerial Resolution 811-2022-MINSA.

So, since October 12, 2022, the Health Declaration is no longer required to enter Peru! The website to fill in the form has been deactivated as of October 20, 2022.

As Peru is still in a state of (national health) emergency and prevention and control measures to stop the spread of Covid remain in place at least until February 24, 2023, things can be tightened again in no time and the health declaration might be necessary in the future again. So, for now, we leave our guide to fill in the form below.

Completing the online form takes less than 10 minutes, is super simple, free of charge and at the end you immediately get the required health affidavit which you can either download or print. The form can be filled in up to 72h before entering Peru (within 72 hours prior to your arrival in Peru). You might be asked to show the health affidavit when checking in to your flight to Peru and/or at the airport in Peru and/or when traveling.

Please only use the official website for obtaining the health affidavit and don’t fall for a number of service providers offering to get the sworn statement for you while charging you anything from US$ 20 up to US$ 60 for something you can easily do yourself in a few minutes for free.

How to complete the online form and get the Peruvian health affidavit

If applicable, before you start switch off your VPN and any translation program that might run on purpose or automatically!!!

Visit the official health affidavit website .

There have been reports that the page doesn’t always load correctly in some browsers, an error message pops up and people can't fill in the required fields on the first page. If you are using a VPN, switch it off, reload the page and it should work smoothly. Otherwise, try to use a different browser; we had no problems with Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

Additionally, we get many questions that people can't find nationalities or states or cities in the drop-down lists on the first and second page. Note that the names are always in Spanish (see Step 2)! If you see them translated, switch off any translation program that may run in the background automatically by your browser or intentionally otherwise error messages can pop up or you won't find the correct names.

Here now the first page.

How to fill in the online form to get the Health Affidavit and Geolocation Authorization to enter Peru. Here the first page you have to complete.

At the bottom of the first page you can choose between English and Spanish, however while the labelling of the spaces you have to fill in changes from Spanish to English and vice versa, the drop-down list under Nationality remains in Spanish; so if you are, for example, a US national you won’t find United States or US on the list, but have to click on EE.UU (Estados Unidos, the Spanish name for the US); or if you are German, click on Alemania, etc. Those from the UK will look in vain for United Kingdom but as well for Reino Unido; select instead Gran Bretaña  (Great Britain) or, if you are from England, you could choose Inglaterra, or, if you are from Scottland, Escocia.

Then choose the document with which you are travelling: DNI , CE or PAS (passport) and enter the number. Complete the first page by adding your birthdate and then click on “Search”.

The second page of the Peruvian online form to get the health affidavit is divided into two parts:

• Part I: Personal Information
• Part II: Health information

So, first fill in your personal information exactly as in the document you are traveling with, your arrival date and flight number. Under “Country of origin” (the country from which the flight departs to Peru) the names are again in Spanish (see step 2).

Then choose your destination in Peru. You are asked for the department (Peruvian state), the province and the district; so, for example, if you stay in the district of Miraflores in Lima, choose Lima (department), Lima (province) and Miraflores (district) or if you travel to Machu Picchu choose Cusco (department), Urubamba (province), Machu Picchu (district). If you are traveling around, either choose your first destination or the place where you stay the longest.

Now add a contact phone number and a cell phone number. Be aware that fields for the (cell) phone number are Peruvian-style, so, if necessary, you might have to "adjust" your phone number to the Peruvian structure.

• the country code must have 2 or 3 digits
• the city / area code must have 2 or 3 digits
• the phone number must have at least 6 digits, the cell phone number at least 8 digits

Example: let’s assume you have a US cell phone number which usually is structured as follows: +1 (country code) 123 (area code) 1234567 (number). This cell phone number won't be accepted as there are two problems with it: the system doesn’t allow the “+” and the number only has 7 digits. So, just enter in the country code field 01, in the city code field 12 (the first two digits of your area code) and in the number field 31234567 (last digit of your area code and then the 7 digits of your number). Problem solved.

Then enter a valid e-mail address you have access to even during your travel.

The following fields seem to be aimed at Peruvian travellers (and in an earlier version of this form were in a section which only Peruvians had to fill out) and don't really fit international tourists.

You are asked for your "real address", but you can only choose a Peruvian department (state), province and district. So, just as above, where you had to choose your destination in Peru, use the address of your hotel or the address of friends / family you are staying with. If you are traveling around, choose the first hotel you are staying at or the place where you stay the longest.

And the next field seems even stranger; you are asked to enter your "real address after isolation". This just makes little sense for foreign travellers, so just enter the street address of your accommodation.

The next fields aren't better as you should add the persons who are with you at your "real address". We recommend to either leave these fields blank (each person traveling should have his or her own health declaration anyway) or enter the information of whoever is traveling with you. After entering the data of a person, you have to click "Add", otherwise the system won't accept the entry.

In Part II Health Information, as of May 2022, you just have to answer three Covid-related questions and then tick the box before the declaration of oath; the geolocation authorization for your cell phone, which never had a legal basis in Peru, is gone.

Click registrar, and you immediately get the Health Affidavit. At the top of the page, you can and, as once you leave this page you can't return, should download ("descargar") and/or print ("imprimir") the form. Sometimes, if you have selected "imprimir" the window that opens remains blank. Just shut the print window with the "x" at the top right, choose the "descargar" button and print from there.

The document you receive looks like this.

Sample of the Peruvian Health Affidavit which you get after filling in the online form.

Please consider this picture of the health affidavit as sample only; the automatically by the system generated Health Affidavit number on the document has been erased with zeros, personal data with x x x and the QR code completely. To get your personal Health Affidavit required to enter Peru, please complete the online form as described above.

Before traveling to Peru, please as well pre-register your arrival

How to Complete Peru’s COVID Health Affidavit

How to Complete Peru’s Health Affidavit

Please note: the travel affidavit is no longer required to enter peru..

The Peruvian health affidavit must be completed 72 hours or less before you travel, and it is completed using an online form. This is a step by step guide to filling it in.

You will need to complete the entire affidavit 72 hours or less before flying, and keep a copy of it with you as you travel. PCR tests are a government requirement for entering Peru. You can find out other requirements here .

How to Fill in the Peruvian Health Affidavit

You can find the Peruvian health affidavit here . It is on the official migraciones website for Peru. Don’t fill the form in anywhere else- this is the official channel.

This is the page that you will be greeted with, it is the first page of the Peruvian Health affidavit and where you will select your preferred language. Select ‘English’ at the bottom for the form, or whichever your preferred language is.

Under nationality, if you are from the United States of America, you should select ‘EEUU’ This is the Peruvian way of writing USA. You should then select ‘PAS’ under ‘documents’, as this is short for ‘passport’. Put your passport number in the box labeled ‘Document Number’, and input your date of birth before clicking search. Make sure to adjust your birth year when selecting the date.

Check out: Our Treks into Machu Picchu! The best way to avoid the crowds, with fixed departure reduced price available!

By clicking the confirm button, you will be taken to a page where you can fill out your personal information, including your destination within the country. Check with your tour company if you are not sure where your destination will be. This is an important part of completing Peru’s health affidavit so make sure to get it right.

Note: Under the “phone number” section, if the form does not accept your actual phone number, you can either put your country code in the ‘city code’ section or, if it still will not accept your number, you can add enough numbers for the form to accept the number and move on.

You will then be asked to define the itinerary you will follow to your destination. This form must be filled out correctly in order to ensure that you and those traveling with you remain safe. If you are traveling with a tour company and you are not sure about the itinerary, check with your booking company and they will confirm for you.

The next step to completing Peru’s health affidavit is clarifying whether you are a resident in Peru. If you are not, then simply input your hotel’s address into the address section. If you are staying in multiple hotels, enter the address of the hotel you will spend the most time in.

In the final step of completing Peru’s health affidavit you will be asked about any symptoms that you may have. Fill this out honestly, and if you are presenting symptoms of COVID19 then it is suggested that you avoid traveling at this particular time.

You can stay up to date with what is happening with Coronavirus in Peru , and be sure to check the current travel restrictions and requirements here . If you suspect you may have contracted the virus, just want to check for safety, or you need a negative test for onward travel, find a list of recommended COVID testing facilities here.

If you are planning to travel to Peru and take advantage of the uniquely empty archeological sites (and with Machu Picchu working at just 30% capacity, who can resist?!) then you will need to complete a health affidavit. This health affidavit is designed to give you freedom around the country, and keep you and your party safe, among other travel restrictions . You should also keep a printed version of the affidavit with you at all times, with a photocopy of your passport or ID.

Once you have all of the administration out of the way, it’s time to start planning your adventures. Will you be taking on the Inca Trail ? Or perhaps rafting through the enormous canyons of Peru? However you choose to experience this incredible country, be sure to stay up to date on current travel protocols .

While the information listed here is what we know to be true, different airlines have different policies regarding the affidavit. Some may require it to be printed, some may require it to be live on your phone. In order to be absolutely sure, contact your airline to find out their policy on the matter.

If you are ready to start planning your trip to Peru, contact us or check out our recommended adventures for ideas, adventures, and updates.

Guide to the Peruvian Health Affidavit & Geolocation Authorization Form

• January 21, 2022

A Step-by-Step Guide to Filling out the Peruvian Health Affidavit and Geolocation Authorization Form.

Great news! As of October this affidavit is no longer required to enter Peru!

For an updated post about Travel Restrictions in Peru in times of Covid-19 visit our guide .

What is the Peruvian Health Affidavit and Geolocation Authorization Form?

The Peru Health form which is required by the government for entry into Peru as part of the Covid-19 entry regulations, is an online form that asks for your personal information along with your travel information, and any symptoms you may be experiencing. All persons traveling into Peru regardless of status – tourist, resident, Peruvian, adults and children, vaccinated or unvaccinated are required to fill it out. It is also an authorization for geolocation. However, this form only allows a Peruvian number, so we are unsure how they are using this geolocation system.

When do I have to fill out the health form before traveling, and what do I do with it?

The Peruvian health affidavit must be completed  before  you travel.  

You will need to complete the health form 72 hours or less before flying and keep a copy of it with you as you travel. This is very important to complete  before  you arrive at the airport, as it can be complicated and delay travel! Additionally, you will need  either:  a  completed vaccine card (with the last dose given 14 days or more before),  a  negative PCR test, or a medical discharge  if you have tested positive for Covid in the last 3 months . 

What you will need on hand in order to fill out the online Peru health form.

The Peruvian health affidavit asks for lots of information that you will need on hand. Be ready with:

• passport information
• date of arrival in Peru
• country of origin, written in Spanish
• destination department, province and district 
• address where you will be staying (hotel, airbnb, etc.)
• flight information
• information of those you may be staying with

What you should know about the Peruvian Health Affidavit and Geolocation Authorization Form.

Sometimes the form doesn’t load correctly in certain browsers. If you are using a VPN, turn it off and try reloading the page. Additionally, you can try a different browser; we had no problems with Chrome, Firefox and Safari. 

Many people have mentioned to us that they cannot find nationalities, states or cities in the drop-down lists where required. The names are always in Spanish! If you see them translated, switch off any translation program that may be running in the background by your browser. 

Where can I find the Peru Health Affidavit form?

You can find the  Peruvian health affidavit here . It is on the official Migrations website for Peru. Do not pay money to fill out this form on another site – although tricky, it is free.

Steps to help you fill out the online health form.

• On the first page of the Peruvian Health affidavit, you will select your preferred language. You will find this at the bottom of the page u nder nationality, if you are from the United States of America, select ‘EE.UU’ – the Peruvian way of writing USA. Then select ‘PAS’ under ‘documents’, short for ‘passport’. Enter your passport number in the box labelled ‘Document Number’, and input your date of birth before clicking search. Note that the birthdate is written DATE/MONTH/YEAR.

2. The confirm button will take you to a page where you will need to fill out your personal information, including your destination within the country. 

3. Fill in your name. In many countries worldwide people have two last names. If you only have one you can leave one blank and the system will allow it. 

4. Fill in your nationality and beware it will only show country names in Spanish. USA will be EEUU, England will be Inglaterra, etc. 

5. Add the date of your arrival in Peru, click international trip and add your flight number. Fill in your country of origin (also in Spanish) and then fill in your destination department, province and district. If you will be in the Cusco area use, Cusco, Cusco, Cusco. If staying anywhere else, ask your hotel or agency where you will be staying on arrival. If you do not see Lima or where you are really going fill in Cusco, Cusco, Cusco. (No one is actually checking anything on this form.)

6. Here is the tricky part. You are asked for your phone number. We assume this is what they use for geolocation. However, you will be asked to put in two Peruvian phone numbers or the equivalent in amount of digits.  If you don’t have a Peruvian number you can put in any numbers and the system will accept it. The first number you must put “51” in the first box, then three random digits followed by six random digits: “51” “xxx” “xxxxxx” . The next phone number also begins with “51” followed by three random digits then eight random digits: “51” “xxx” “xxxxxxxx” . It seems that this form was designed only for Peruvians… 

7. Add your email in the required box.

8. Real address information… What does that mean? You would think your address in your home country, but you can only use Peruvian departments, provinces and districts. Therefore, use your hotel once more for this part. They then ask for your “real address after isolation” – just put the street address of your accommodation once again or another hotel address if you have it. 

9. The next step asks about the people who you will be with at your “real address.” The good news is that this part can be left blank.  We actually recommend you leave this part blank as many people have problems getting the form to load when they fill this in. 

10. In the final step of completing Peru’s health declaration, you will be asked about any symptoms you may have. We have never ticked a box as symptomatic and therefore do not know what would happen if you check any of the symptom boxes – you will potentially be asked not to travel. 

11. Lastly, tick the boxes before the declaration of oath and geolocation authorization and you will be taken to the Health Affidavit page, which you can download to your phone and/or print off. Carry this with you, as you will be asked for it more than once. 

We hope this blog has been useful and informative. We wish you the best for your adventure in Peru. If you would like to help us out in return for this helpful blog, feel free to book a trip with us!

If you are not a current client please understand that calling us costs us both time and money (our USA number is a call forwarding number that cost per minute.) 

If you have purchased a trip with us and would like personalized help with this health form email us at [email protected] or send us a whatsapp message for an instant response and we will be happy to walk through it with you and provide all the information you will need.

Backcountry Mountain Road & Cross Country

Our Cross Country MTB tours take you from one spectacular destination to the next. On these, you’ll cycle literally across whichever country you’re visiting. For instance, check out our Andes to the Amazon tour, where you travel from Cusco to the Peruvian Amazon. 

Our current XC vacations are made up of long-distance rides on backcountry roads. If you are looking for XC singletrack, get in touch with us, and we’ll set up a one-of-a-kind MTB tour suited to your needs.

How we define XC: Anywhere from old logging or fire roads to rolling singletrack, Cross Country trails are generally long distances with both ascents and descents. While trails may be somewhat technical with rock gardens and tight switchbacks, they generally do not have intense steep rock gardens like those you might find in DH or Enduro racing.

An XC bike is often lighter with a slacker head tube angle for better climbing ability and tends to not have a dropper post although the trend is changing. Usually it will be a hardtail or a full suspension bike with a smaller amount of suspension — 100-130mm.  

Most XC riders do not wear pads such as elbow or knee pads and wear a half-shell helmet.

Expeditions

Our MTB expeditions are multi-day trips that involve camping, hiking and/or local home stays in the mountains with cooks and porters. At the moment Haku Expeditions offers one complete mountain expedition and also two packages that combine an MTB vacation with a smaller expedition nestled in it.

The front travel for DH bikes is usually somewhere around 200mm with the rear measuring slightly less. Because they generally aren’t pedalled uphill, these bikes are rugged and heavy and usually have less gears. DH riders wear full-face helmets, goggles, and body armor.

Downhill Riding

At the moment we do not offer a 100% DH trip. Contact us and we can make a custom trip for you! Below, you’ll find our Enduro MTB tours listed that are mostly all downhill and can be done either with a DH bike or an Enduro bike.

How we define DH: DH riding – or Downhill riding — is regarded as an intense, extreme kind of cycling, made for advanced riders who love to navigate roots and rocks and huge drops with furious downhill speed. It requires a stellar sense of balance and technique and a bike with slacker geometry. 

Enduro/All Mountain

Our Enduro/All-Mountain MTB tours are by far our most popular trips to date. While some of them focus more on descent like Ecuador and Peru, others include plenty of pedaling such as those in Colombia and Nepal.  

How we define Enduro/All Mountain:   Enduro mountain biking, also known as All-Mountain biking, emphasizes technical ability. If you’re looking for a more adventurous ride, this is the kind of ride for you; usually, an Enduro/All-Mountain trail will involve adrenaline-pumping downhill mountain biking along with sustained climbs.

Enduro riders need bikes that can take burly drops and rugged technical obstacles efficiently while still being light enough to climb with; they almost always use full-suspension bikes with wide tires and longer rear and front suspension travel. Dropper post is a necessity and standard. The front suspension can be anywhere from 140mm to 170mm. Full-face enduro helmets and body amour are a must for Enduro racing.

Price Breakdown

How do you help.

1 – The Haku Christmas Drive, which includes yearly clothing giveaways, shoe drives, and a public hot chocolate panettone lunch.

2 – School supply giveaway for children of the High Andes.

3 – Bringing bread and fruit to kids living at elevations where none is available.

4 – Facilitating connections between local organic farmers and local restaurants.

5 – Affordable MTB classes for locals taught by professional coaches . 

6 – Sustained commitment to hiring out locals to work as drivers, office workers, etc., allowing a great amount of flexibility for family commitments, and paying them fair, livable wages.

7 – Donating 1% of all profits to help educate children in a technical field such as carpentry.

8 – Helping young adults begin a small business working in their technical field or purchasing products from them to help them get started after high school.

General Fitness Ratings

1 – Getting your heart rate up isn’t really your thing, and you rarely (if ever) exercise. Your idea of a perfect vacation is total relaxation: sitting on a beach, sipping a mojito, and just generally vegging out. 

2 – You don’t necessarily work out regularly but you aren’t averse to the idea of doing something active. Although you don’t exercise that often, you don’t necessarily consider yourself out of shape.

3 – You exercise one to two times a week but do not have a normal schedule that keeps you biking or doing other activities weekly. You don’t go to the gym or train for any specific sports but you lead a relatively active lifestyle by biking, hiking, skiing, or whatever it may be. For biking: climbs and long descents give you some trouble and you tend to get tired after about 2-3 hours on the bike.

4 – You exercise 3-4 times a week and enjoy physical activities such as biking, hiking, skiing. You are active. For biking: you enjoy climbs that are are moderately long and being on a bike for 3-5 hours in one day doesn’t get you too tired or fatigued. 

5 – You exercise at least 4 times a week and are an avid athlete that is consistently in good shape. You’re more or less game for any kind of adventure. For biking: you’re comfortable with being on your bike for 5-7 hours a day. 

6 – You live and die for exercise, sweat, and suffering. You only want to climb higher, go farther, and prove how much of an animal you are. Steep climbs, long descents and big days are something you are looking to do more of and you can’t wait for your next adventure. 

Biking Skill Levels

Beginner : You’ve been riding a mountain bike for a couple of years or less and you’re most comfortable on smooth single-track and wider, forgiving doubletrack. You like rides with scenic views; you like both ascending and descending on well-maintained, safe trails. You’re looking for an active but relaxing mountain bike vacation; you’re not into jumps, drops, super steep trails, rock gardens, roots or taking big risks on your bike.

Intermediate : You’ve got two plus years of experience mountain biking on single-track trails under your belt; you’ve gotten pretty confident behind the handlebars and are beginning to expand your mountain bike abilities. You like riding most types of terrain, and you’re comfortable both climbing and descending on single-track trails with smaller technical features such as rocky sections, small drops, and small steep sections. You aren’t trying to walk on most of the trail and are looking to take small risks with things like speed, jumps, rock gardens, and stair sets to improve your skills as a mountain biker.

Intermediate Tech : You’ve got three plus years of riding on singletrack trails of all sorts with features such as rock gardens, steep sections, rolls and drops, roots, and small jumps. You are confident on the bike in most situations. You’re constantly looking to improve your riding skills and enjoy riding for extended periods of time climbing and descending in terrain of all sorts. 

Advanced : Ten plus years of experience riding single-track, freerides and biking of all sorts. You live for steeps,  jumps, rock gardens, techy trails, long descents, big ascents and discovering new terrain. Mountain biking is one of your passions and you are ready and confident to do what you love in a new and challenging place. You can handle anything we throw at you — jumps, rock gardens, steps, technical descents, tough ascents, etc. Biking is a central part of your life. For you, the bigger the challenge, the more excited you get.

Tips for Filling Out Peru Declaration of Health Forms for Entry After Covid

  Here's a link to read more about traveling to Machu Picchu after covid.

Ding dong the witch is dead! As of November 1, 2022 the state of emergency in Peru has ended and all covid restrictions are eliminated including the darn health declaration form. Now before you run off to celebrate, take a moment to review your airline policy. Remember they are the boss. Not me. I validated the info on Latam airlines covid information travel tool and Sherpa.com website. It's up to you to reconfirm this splendid news!

• Lima Airport Covid Arrival Protocols   I have found this website to be sluggish with updates. 
• Delta Airlines Interactive Map for details on potential entry requirements for any country. (this is a great tool that anyone can use. You don't need an account) This mapping tool is also available on Latam airlines so you can search for rules for national flights in Peru. 
• Official Peru Travel Website   This has the most comprehensive info about protocols for international arrivals and Peru domestic flights as well as provincial buses. Was last updated September 28, 2022. 
• Sherpa.com. An interactive map showing entry requirements for any country in the world. However, I don't see mention of boarding requirements for in-country domestic flights
• Latam.Airlines Website . This is the best search tool for finding out protocols for in-country domestic flights as well as international flights to latin countries. As of November 1, they're saying that no health-related documents are needed for travel. 

What is considered fully vaccinated for international travelers?

T his no longer matters as all vaccine requirements have been dropped. 

If you need a covid test for something, can you still get it in Lima?

Here's a link to our post about covid tests in clinics and labs in Lima and Cusco. I provided links to contact the labs directly if you have specific questions. We haven't had anyone use the labs in Lima airport because it's less convenient and there's no assistance. In Cusco we can assist our groups and now our manager Vidal has established relationships with labs. Advance appointmentts are necessary in Lima.

Tips for filling out the Peru Electronic Health Sworn Statement and Geolocation Form: (I'm going to leave this up for a while so we can appreciate the new state of no emergency)

• the country abbreviation for the United States is EEUU
• the document number you need to use is abbreviated as PAS (passport)
• if you get an ERROR page when you click open the link to the health form, try changing browsers. It works on Google. But does not work on Brave
• The department, province and district are all "Cusco, Cusco, Cusco" if you're going to Machu Picchu. If not, you can ask the hotel or tour operator for this information regarding the destination you're visiting
• the declaration may ask you to agree to 14-day quarantine. Since March, all our groups report that if you provide proof of 2 doses, or negative covid test upon arrival, then quarantine is suspended. Link to Official Peru Travel Website for clarification.
• it will ask for your contact phone number. Some have reported that if you experience a problem try redistributing the numbers as follows: 1) country code: 2 digits (01 if you're US), 2) city code: 2 digits (use the first 2 numbers of your area code, 3) total of 8 digits using your personal 7 digit phone number beginning with the 3rd digit of your area code. EXAMPLE. If your US phone number is 840-987-6543 you would enter: country 01, city code 84, phone number 09876543. 
• it's possible that some of the documents you carefully prepare in advance will not be viewed or examined. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. 
• carry documents and your passport everywhere you go. Even while hiking.
• Airline Apps like Verifly, that store and manage health documents for international travelers, may not be compatible with the Peru Health Statement. It may be necessary to go directly to the link provided by the Peru government and fill out the document. For your convenience here is a direct link to the Peru Affadavit of Health and Geolocation Authorization . CLICK HERE.  (do not fill out prematurely as this document is valid for 72 hours.)

Other things to note about travel to Peru:

• Changes to Machu Picchu entry tickets. Do all circuits provide access to the spot for getting the classic image of Machu Picchu? No.
• Masks are no longer required in public and only need to be worn in hospitals and public transportation.  Masking is slowly going away. Just ask your tour guide or do what everyone else is doing.
• Do all visitors need a tour guide to enter Machu Picchu? Not. But if you do want to hire a tour guide, here's what you need to know.
• Make sure your passport expiration date meets the validity requirements. I have heard stories of people arriving in Lima with a passport expiring in 5.5 months and they were sent home the next day.

Disclaimer: I am providing this info in good faith but I am not responsible for changes to the information, or anything that affects your ability to prepare for travel or enter Peru. Rules can change and I strongly recommend that you review your international airline covid travel rules as well as the covid information on the US Embassy in Peru website. (here is a link)

Peru Travel Advisory

Travel advisory november 15, 2023, peru - level 2: exercise increased caution.

Last Update: Reissued with updates to crime information.

Exercise increased caution due to  crime, civil unrest, and the possibility of kidnapping . Some areas have increased risk. Read the entire Travel Advisory.

Do not travel to:

• The Colombian-Peruvian border area in the Loreto Region due to  crime .
• The Valley of the Apurímac, Ene, and Mantaro Rivers (VRAEM), including areas within the Departments of Ayacucho, Cusco, Huancavelica, and Junin, due to  crime  and  terrorism .

Country Summary : Crime, including petty theft, carjackings, muggings, assaults, and other violent crime, is common in Peru and can occur during daylight hours despite the presence of many witnesses. Kidnapping is rare, but does occur. The risk of crime increases at night. Organized criminal groups have been known to use roadblocks to rob victims in areas outside of the capital city of Lima.

Demonstrations occur regularly throughout the country. Public demonstrations can take place for a variety of political and economic issues. Demonstrations can cause the shutdown of local roads, trains, and major highways, often without prior notice or estimated reopening timelines. Road closures may significantly reduce access to public transportation and airports and may disrupt travel both within and between cities.

U.S. travelers participating in Ayahuasca and Kambo ceremonies should be aware that numerous persons, including U.S. citizens, have reported that while under the influence of these substances, they have witnessed or been victims of sexual assault, rape, theft, serious health problems and injuries, and even death.

Currently, U.S. government personnel cannot travel freely throughout Peru for security reasons . Read the  country information page  for additional information on travel to Peru.

If you decide to travel to Peru:

• Be aware of your surroundings.
• Monitor local media for breaking events and adjust your plans as needed.
• Enroll in the  Smart Traveler Enrollment Program  ( STEP ) to receive Alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.
• Follow the Department of State on  Facebook  and  Twitter .
• Follow the U.S. Embassy on  Facebook  and  Twitter .
• Review the U.S. Embassy  webpage .
• Review the  Country Security Report  for Peru.
• Prepare a contingency plan for emergency situations. Review the  Traveler’s Checklist .
• Visit the CDC page for the latest  Travel Health Information  related to your travel.

Colombian-Peruvian border area in the Loreto Region – Level 4: Do Not Travel

Drug trafficking and other criminal activity, combined with poor infrastructure, limits the capability and effectiveness of Peruvian law enforcement in this area.

The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens as U.S. government personnel are restricted from traveling within 20 kilometers of the border with Colombia in the Loreto region, except on the Amazon River itself, without permission. This includes travel on the Putumayo River, which forms most of the Peru-Colombia border.

U.S. government personnel must receive advance permission for any travel to the Peruvian-Colombian border.

Valley of the Apurímac, Ene, and Mantaro Rivers (VRAEM) includes areas within the Departments of Ayacucho, Cusco, Huancavelica, and Junin – Level 4: Do Not Travel

Remnants of the Shining Path terrorist group are active in the VRAEM. The group may attack with little or no warning, targeting Peruvian government installations and personnel.

Drug trafficking and other criminal activity, combined with poor infrastructure, limit the capability and effectiveness of Peruvian law enforcement in this area.

U.S. government personnel are restricted from traveling in the VRAEM except for certain areas during daylight hours. U.S. government personnel must receive advance permission for any travel to the VRAEM. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens due to these travel restrictions.

The Peru Health Declaration Form is an essential document for anyone traveling to Peru in the post-pandemic world. It helps to ensure that the entry of travelers is monitored, and necessary precautions are taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19. As a traveler, it’s your responsibility to ensure that you fill out this form accurately and keep a copy with you during your travel to avoid any unwelcome surprises on arrival. Bon voyage!

Entry requirements

This advice reflects the UK government’s understanding of current rules for people travelling on a full ‘British citizen’ passport from the UK, for the most common types of travel.

The authorities in Peru set and enforce entry rules. If you are not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact the Peruvian Consulate General in the UK .

COVID-19 rules

There are no COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirements for travellers entering Peru.

Passport validity requirements

To enter Peru, your passport must have an ‘expiry date’ at least 6 months after the date you arrive.

Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.

You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.

Visa requirements

You do not need a visa to travel to Peru for tourism or short visits. If you are travelling for any other reason, check requirements with the Peruvian Consulate General in the UK .

You are normally given permission to stay for up to 30 days when you arrive. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for permission on arrival. Immigration officials can grant you up to 180 days a year as a visitor or tourist.

If you overstay, you will need to pay a fine or you could be detained.

Arriving at an international airport

If you arrive in Peru at an international airport your entry will be registered digitally through a Tarjeta Andina de Migración (TAM) - a virtual immigration control document.

You can check the number of days you have been granted to stay legally in Peru on the Superintendencia Nacional de Migraciones website (in Spanish).

Arriving by land

Land entry: make sure you get your passport stamped.

If you enter Peru overland from any neighbouring country, go to the immigration checkpoint and get your passport stamped. If you do not get an entry stamp, you will not be allowed to leave Peru until you get a new entry stamp. If you do not get one, you will need to:

• complete the online application form (form in Spanish)
• provide your passport details
• provide evidence of your entry to Peru, such as a bus ticket in your name
• show an exit stamp from the last country you visited

The British Embassy can help you to apply for a new entry stamp. You should start this process as soon as possible.

If you cannot provide the information needed, you must apply for an exit order or expulsion order to leave Peru in person at the Immigration Office in Lima . These orders may stop you from re-entering Peru for a number of years. The British Embassy cannot intervene in these decisions, but can help you with the exit procedure.

If your passport has been lost or stolen and you plan to travel internally, contact your travel agency, airline or bus company to check their requirements. Some airlines and bus companies will not allow you to travel internally carrying a police report only. You may need a new passport or an emergency travel document .

Processing at the Peru-Chile border

Clashes between the police and migrants on the border between Peru and Chile in April and early May 2023 have led to delays in processing at this border crossing. See regional risks . 

Vaccine requirements

At least 8 weeks before your trip, check the vaccinations and certificates you need in TravelHealthPro’s Peru guide .

Travelling with children

Children aged 17 and under who are travelling on a British passport and have Peruvian resident status need written permission (‘Autorización de Viaje Notarial’) from the non-accompanying parent or parents to leave Peru.

You must get permission in a letter signed by a public notary in Peru. The letter must include:

• proposed destination
• purpose of the trip
• departure date
• return date

If you’re unable to get notarial permission, you’ll need to get judicial written permission (‘Autorización de Viaje Judicial’) from a judge. If one parent has committed certain crimes, the other can request a judicial written permission. If one parent is deceased, the other will need to submit the death certificate to a notary public, so that an indefinite notarial permit to travel with the child is issued.

These requirements do not normally apply to children with tourist status, but immigration officers may ask for them in circumstances considered suspicious, or if the child has overstayed in Peru.

For further information, contact the Peruvian Consulate General in the UK (in Spanish) or the Peruvian Immigration Department (in Spanish).  

Customs rules

There are strict rules about goods you can take into or out of Peru . You must declare anything that may be prohibited or subject to tax or duty.

You can bring one laptop and 2 mobile phones into Peru without paying tax.

When you leave Peru, you may be stopped and prosecuted if you are carrying:

• products made from wild animal skins
• crafts made with preserved butterflies, spiders, starfish, sea horses or other fish or insects
• crafts and jewellery made with condor or other wild bird feathers, turtle shells, teeth, bones and other animal parts

The sale of souvenirs made with wild animal parts, including condor feathers, is illegal in Peru. These products are often sold in tourist markets in Cusco and Iquitos.

You’re not allowed to remove any archaeological artefacts from Peru without authorisation.
