We are tracking recent events where local communities along the Marañón River in the Department of Loreto have been halting vessels as a form of political protest requesting additional Peruvian government support for their communities, among other reasons.  It is unclear how long these disruptions to river traffic will persist.  For U.S. citizens planning to travel along the Marañón River in the Department of Loreto, please contact your travel arrangers for more information.
