Travel Notice: Situation in Peru
2 July 2026
On 2 July 2026, the Government of Peru declared a 60-day State of Emergency in 796 districts across 22 regions, including Lima, Cusco and Arequipa, due to the imminent risk of heavy rainfall associated with the 2026–2027 El Niño phenomenon. Heavy rainfall may result in flooding, landslides, road closures, disruptions to transport services and interruptions to essential services in affected areas.
Singaporeans are advised to exercise a high degree of caution when visiting Peru, and to take all necessary precautions for their personal safety, including monitoring local weather forecasts and news, checking for travel disruptions and heeding the instructions of local authorities.

Additional Information
Prior to your travel, consult your doctor for travel health advice regarding vaccinations required or recommended and purchase comprehensive travel insurance.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there is a risk of yellow fever transmission in Peru. All travellers, including Singapore residents, who arrive in Singapore from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission (i.e. wholly or partly endemic for yellow fever) are required to have a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate. Otherwise, they are liable to be quarantined under Section 31 of the Infectious Disease Act, for up to six days upon arrival in Singapore. Non-residents who refuse quarantine will be turned away and returned to his/her place of origin or last port of embarkation.
This approach is consistent with the WHO’s recommendations in the International Health Regulations (IHR 2005).
The International Certificate of Vaccination for yellow fever is only considered valid 10 days after vaccination and the validity lasts for the life of the person vaccinated.
Please ask your doctor to review your suitability for the yellow fever vaccine.
Please refer to MOH website https://www.moh.gov.sg/diseases-updates/yellow-fever (opens in new tab) for more information on yellow fever.
Earthquakes may occur in Peru. Know what to do in the event of a natural disaster. Monitor the local news and follow the advice of the local authorities.
