I have been keeping an eye on restrictions for a while. I am triple jabbed but the idea of having to double mask or FFP2 outdoors, when hiking, is extremely offputting. I don't think it would make for a fun holiday. It is such a shame.

While I have one covid shot Jansen, there is no way that I am going to get 3 to enter Peru.According to quote to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result is insanity.Israel who is the world leader in forcing vaccinations on their people during covid now states that 4 shots is the magic number to reduce the deaths of the elderly.Hopefully Peru comes to it's senses soon as Peru looks to be a magical place with so much natural beauty. I would love to meet it's citizens

Yes, you are right. Peru and its citizens suffered immensely over the past 2+ years. Depending on the view of each one who is reading this, Covid or the extremely strict Covid measures heavily impacted the over the past years positive development of the country and dramatically increased poverty, extreme poverty, unemployment and informal employment, malnutrition and the lack of necessities. The progress and advances in these areas, which over the past two decades were achieved, seem to have evaporated into thin air.
The months-long complete shutdown and lockdown of the country in 2020 followed by strict measures that unfortunately didn’t solve the Covid crisis nearly destroyed, among many other economic sectors, the whole tourism sector which very slowly is recovering. But instead of boosting this for Peru and Peruvians important areas responsibly, unpredictable, ever-changing Covid regulations, compulsory vaccinations, mask mandates and the seemingly never-ending state of emergency / health emergency understandably deter many foreigners like you from visiting.
While LimaEasy in general and this Covid entry requirements and regulations page in particular aren’t the place for discussions about the sense or nonsense and the effectiveness or uselessness of Covid vaccinations, measures, or tests, the whole situation is such a shame and extremely sad. However, we from LimaEasy can only inform as accurate as possible about the regulations.
So, we can only hope that the situation is getting back to normal soon and everyone is welcome to enjoy this amazing and beautiful country again.
Greetings
Eva
