The primary and most vital aspect to consider when planning a trip to Peru is determining which vaccinations you might need based on your travel route. For example, if your journey is concentrated in Lima and Cusco, you may not require any additional vaccinations. However, if you intend to explore various regions throughout the country, you might need immunizations for typhoid, dengue, hepatitis A and B, rabies, among other standard vaccines.
Similarly, if your itinerary includes the Amazon region, certain areas have a risk of malaria, which is another factor to consider.
With all these factors in mind, it is highly recommended to visit your nearest vaccination center. A healthcare professional can evaluate your medical history, type of trip, and its duration to determine the necessary vaccinations for your visit to Peru.
In addition to vaccinations, remember the importance of obtaining the best travel insurance for your trip to Peru.
Don’t forget that if you plan to visit high-altitude locations in Peru, such as Lake Titicaca (above 3,000 meters), you will need to add extra coverage for adventure sports. This includes assistance at high altitudes and can, of course, also be arranged through Mondo.
Due to the current health situation, all Heymondo insurance policies now include medical assistance in the event of a COVID-19 infection. Additionally, they cover any extended stays you might need due to quarantine and, naturally, the cost of necessary testing.
