Tambopata River rafting

Travelling from the US

Peru is open to travellers from the USA and Europe, just not the UK, Brazil and South Africa at present.

1. Please ensure you have a suitable Travel Insurance Policy from a reputable company who are able to help in the unlikely event that you need to get some. We highly recommend arranging this through Global Rescue. https://partner.globalrescue.com/waterbynature/
2. Passengers must present a negative PCR test that was taken less than 72 hours (3 days) prior to travel from the US. This will be at your own cost.
3. On arrival into Arequipa, you are required to take an Antigen test which can be taken at the airport or at our hotel. This will be at your own cost. If you get a positive result on this test, you will be taken to a secure hotel to quarantine for 14 days which can be reduced to 6 days if you get a negative test on day 6.
4. You must also complete a sworn affidavit(https://e-notificacion.migraciones.gob.pe/dj-salud/) stating  you have no symptoms before travelling.
5. Temperatures will be taken before entering buildings, sanitising and social distancing will be in place. Wearing a mask in public is compulsory, however once we get on the river, we will be in our own bubble, so this won’t be as necessary and essentially your choice around camp. Obviously on the raft, no masks will be worn (yes we have been asked that!)

Travelling from the UK

Entry to Peru

Passengers need to wear two face masks on flights bound for Peru and must complete an affidavit before travel. All passengers to Peru of 12 years old or more whose final destination is Peru must show evidence of vaccination received at least 14 days before boarding, otherwise they can show proof of a negative result from a COVID-19 PCR (molecular) test, issued a maximum of 72 hours before the flight departs. Those under 12 years old must only be without COVID-19 symptoms. These rules are subject to change at short notice.

You should not use the NHS testing service to get a test in order to facilitate your travel to another country. You should arrange to take a private test.

The entry of foreign nationals who travel from South Africa or who have stopped over in South Africa in the last 14 calendar days and do not reside in Peru, is banned until at least 14 November.

There are no testing requirements when you leave Peru. You should make sure you check the entry rules for your destination country on FCDO travel advice pages. If you’re travelling to the UK, check our advice on ‘Returning to the UK’.
