Peru implemented different actions in order to assist and guide national and foreign tourists in the different regions of the country.

In this regard, it is important to inform that the airports Inca Manco Cápac in Juliaca and Alfredo Mendívil Duarte in Ayacucho have temporarily suspended their operations as a precautionary measure.

In the rest of the airports nationwide, operations have been running normally. It is important to mention that only passengers with scheduled flights can enter the airport terminals throughout the country. In case of special assistance required for the elderly, minors and/or people with limited mobility, they may enter with a companion.

On the other hand, according to what was indicated by the Decentralized Directorate of Culture of Cusco, the entrance to the National Archaeological Park of Machupicchu will be carried out normally at the established times. Tourists who cannot enter may use the purchased ticket for up to one month after the strike has ended or request a refund through the email ingresos@culturacusco.gob.pe.

In addition, as announced by the concessionaire of the railway in the South and South East of the country, Ferrocarril Transandino S.A., railway operations have been suspended since January 4 only in the following section: Cusco – Juliaca – Puno and Juliaca – Imata – Pillones – Arequipa, from the southern railway.
