If you’re in a bar and don’t feel well, try to seek help from people you know. Buy your own drinks and keep sight of them at all times. Be alert to the use of ‘date rape’ and other drugs. There have been a number of cases of rape, mostly in the Cusco and Arequipa areas. Avoid walking alone in quiet areas or at night. Be vigilant in public places and when withdrawing cash from ATMs. Street crime, including muggings and thefts, is a significant problem in Lima, Cusco, Arequipa and other major cities. Crossing the Peru-Ecuador border should be done at official checkpoints only.ĭrug trafficking is a serious crime in Peru and drug smugglers face long prison sentences. We advise you to reconsider your need to travel within 20 kilometres of the border with Ecuador in the regions of Loreto, Amazonas (Cordillera del Condor) and Cajamarca, as landmines, in the process of being removed, still pose a security threat. We strongly advise you not to travel within 20 kilometres of the border with Colombia due to narcotic trafficking and occasional incursions of armed guerrilla forces from Colombia into Peru’s remote areas. You should exercise vigilance in these areas. Isolated areas in the Southern Highlands including San Martin, Huanuco, Pasco, Junin, Ucayali, Huancavelica, Ayacucho and Apurimac, may still harbour members of the Shining Path terrorist movement. Higher risk visitors may require specific security advice Genvisec advises that all business and leisure travel should continue to Peru.
