DefaultTravelling in Peru - for foreigners

I found this article online, its quite informative regarding what health preparations you need to do before you visit.

Excerpt:

Health - Preparations before you travel

If sensible precautions are taken by the visitor to Peru, there is no reason why you shouldn't remain as healthy as at home.

1. Before you travel make sure that you take out good medical insurance. If you plan to undertake 'adventurous activities' such as rafting, horse riding or paragliding, make sure that your policy covers you. You may have to pay a small surcharge for this.

2. For advice on what immunizations / inoculations that you require we recommend that you try ringing a specialist travel clinic (at least 6 weeks prior to travel). Your own doctor is probably unfamiliar with health in Latin America.



No inoculations are currently required for Peru. However you should consider immunization against the following:-

* Typhoid
* Polio
* Tetanus
* Hepatitis A
