Peru Travel Restrictions & Opening During Coronavirus

All You Need to Know on Peru Travel Restrictions and Reopening During Coronavirus

Latest News on Peru Reopening: Updated November 2, 2020

FREE ENTRANCE TO MUSEUMS THROUGH NOVEMBER 15!!

If you’re in Peru, definitely take advantage of this deal. With its history and archaeology, Peru has excellent museums (especially Lima and Cusco, but don’t miss the museum of Sipan up north, either!). Go for free through November 15. You have to wear a mask and take your temperature to enter.

The Covid-19 pandemic is lasting longer in many countries than we hoped. Because of this I’ll update this page regularly. In Peru travel restrictions may change so keep checking this and your embassy’s webpage.

This means limited international flights, specifically from Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico. This may change quickly (and hopefully the list will grow!).

Flight & Border Restrictions

• International Flights: You must show evidence of a negative Covid test, taken no longer than 48 hours before departure
• Domestic flights: You will get your temperature taken upon boarding and must have a mask and shield. Also, you must sign a declaration that you are not knowingly sick.
• Bus transportation will also follow these safety measures.
• ONLY TICKETED INDIVIDUALS are allowed to travel. Because of this, no standing is allowed on buses
• Embassies are providing information on repatriation flights Callao. See links to embassies below.

All foreign visas extend until end of crisis

Border status: Borders are ONLY open to leave and go back to country. But contact your embassy before buying a ticket to avoid any mistakes.

If you are Peruvian: You must self quarantine for 14 days after arriving to Peru. There are additional restrictions if you come from a high impacted area. These are Brazil, Iran, China, and some European countries as of July 27th.

Tips & Info for Making Reservations

If you book a flight, hotel, or tour, make sure it is fully refundable. At least make sure you can postpone your reservation.
