The governments do not agree on Peru. South Korea stands alone at level 3 (reconsider non-essential travel), while the other 11 governments sit lower, all at level 2. A single outlier usually means one of two things: that government knows something specific about its own citizens' exposure, or its assessment has not caught up with the others.
Currency varies between sources. New Zealand's is the oldest assessment of Peru on file, last revised in November 2024, while the rest have been reviewed more recently.
The warnings for Peru are not uniform across the country. 26 distinct areas are singled out by at least one government. Among them: 아야쿠초 주: 라 마르 and 우안타 지역/ 우앙카벨리카 주: 츄르캄파. At least one of these carries the highest possible rating, meaning a government advising against all travel there while rating the rest of the country lower.
The level 3 rating from South Korea carries practical weight even if your own government is more relaxed — insurers commonly price against, or exclude, travel contrary to official advice, so the rating that matters most is the one issued for your passport.
Derived from 12 government assessments for Peru, most recently reviewed in October 2026.
