Additional Flight Options:  We are aware that certain commercial airlines are advertising flights from Peru to the United States in May, June, and July.   At this time, the U.S. Embassy has received no credible indication that the Peruvian government will authorize commercial flights during those months.   Peru’s borders and commercial airports, including the Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima, remain closed.  All flights must depart from the Peruvian Grupo 8 Air Force Base, which involves additional Peruvian government approvals.

COVID-19 Scams:  The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) warns individuals to remain vigilant for scams related to COVID-19. Cyber actors may send emails with malicious attachments or links to fraudulent websites to trick victims into revealing sensitive information or donating to fraudulent charities or causes. Exercise caution in handling any email with a COVID-19 related subject line, attachment, or hyperlink, and be wary of social media solicitations, texts, or calls related to COVID-19.
