Peru

Travel health in Peru requires careful preparation. Ensure routine vaccinations like MMR and DTP are up-to-date. Hepatitis A and typhoid vaccines are recommended, especially if visiting rural areas or eating street food. Malaria is a risk in some regions, particularly in the Amazon basin; take antimalarial medication and use insect repellent. Altitude sickness can be an issue in high-altitude areas like Cusco and Machu Picchu; acclimatize gradually and stay hydrated. Tap water is generally unsafe to drink; opt for bottled or treated water. Be cautious with food to avoid gastrointestinal issues. Comprehensive travel insurance and consulting a healthcare provider before travel are essential for a safe trip to Peru.
