Key security issues in Peru
Peru is a diverse and beautiful country in South America. Visiting or living in Peru can be an enriching experience, but it’s essential to be aware of the potential security risks.
It’s not all bad in Peru. It’s a much safer country today than it was just a few years ago. By taking the right security precautions, visitors can have a safe and enjoyable visit.
The Peruvian government has been actively working to create a safer environment for both its citizens and visitors through various initiatives and strategies.
Here are some of the main concerns and the areas to be most aware of
- Border Regions: The Colombian-Peruvian border in the Loreto region and other border areas have higher risks due to crime and drug trafficking.
- VRAEM (Valley of the Apurímac, Ene, and Mantaro Rivers): This area has ongoing issues with crime and terrorism.
- Remote Tourist Sites: Visit less crowded sites during daylight hours or with a guided group. If visiting alone, consider personal protection
