How's it looking, post Nov 2021?

The last post I see is late Nov 2021. My understanding is that Omicron is doing damage in Peru, but requirement is still vaccine OR PCR (72 hrs). Is that still the case?

We just booked flights to Lima 3/26-4/6 and plan on spending the whole trip in Huaraz, just wondering if anyone on the ground in Peru can comment on the situation since the latest post was 2 months ago.

This is the latest update, valid until January 30th> https://www.gob.pe/institucion/pcm/n...5-005-2022-pcm

Basically the difference from the changes in november 2021 is that negative PCR test validity is for results within 48 hours from embarkation.
You can still enter with just the full vaccination certificate (1 or 2 doses) + Health declaration form

For domestic flights, booster shots for those over 50 will also be required (begins on Sunday 1/23)

for updated info you can check VUELA FACIL

Thanks! I appreciate it

Update: For domestic flights, vaccine booster shots for those over 40 will also be required (either that or <48h negative PCR test).

(booster shots for those over 40 is also the new requirement to enter most indoor businesses)

I heard the ban on South Africa (or travellers who had been to SA in the last 14 days) had been lifted. I was pointed at Supreeme Decree 010-2022-PCM anyone confirm?

That is correct, even though there's still a decree that bans passenger flights directly from SA until the end of February (kind of pointless because there aren't any).
In any case, there isn't a specific restriction for travelers that have been in SA anymore.

Update - starting April 1st
