Based on the improved security environment and regionally focused active protest locations, the U.S. Embassy will be removing the blanket requirement for personnel to obtain approval for most in country travel.  However, the U.S. Embassy will restrict all travel to the Puno and Apurimac regions.  In addition, travel to Cusco region will still require prior approval.
