From the “Enjoy Peru” website, which one reaches from a link on the home page of the Embassy of Peru – Washington website, information for travelers includes this:
. . . Have a vaccine, at least, 10 days before arriving at the jungle. It is necessary to carry your vaccine certificate with you, as you will be demanded to show it along the excursion to Puerto Maldonado.
In case you arrive to our country without having taken this vaccine, you may be shot at the Jorge Chávez International Airport, the Hospital 2 de Mayo or next to the Hospital del Niño. . . .
I was in Lima in the 70s lying in my bed in the first floor of an old hotel. Suddenly the dressing table started to shake, a movement that was accompanied by a rumbling sound. I thought blimey! It must be a quake. As I was making my way to stand in the doorframe I glanced out of the window and saw the cause of the trouble. It was a tank, or rather a string of tanks rolling down the road!
Thanks for adding Airline Confidential btw….
