Health & Care
When traveling outside of our country, we are exposed to sudden changes that reduce our immune system defenses, so it is recommended that all travelers carry personal insurance for adequate coverage.
Much of the private clinics in major cities of Peru are accepted in international insurance, making it easy for any traveler to be properly served. Often hospitals and clinics ask cash payment, keep your receipts and then make the repayment.
If you think of adventure sports such as boating, motocross, paragliding and other, ask if the insurance covers such activities. Agencies operating in Peru will review the validity and coverage of your insurance policy, you can refuse it if your policy does not meet the criteria and requirements.
