The protests are due to start in Cusco, gateway to the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu, on Wednesday (4 January). The FCDO has warned the demonstrations can "easily spread" to other parts of the country.
"These protests are unpredictable and can escalate quickly and include violence," the FCDO further advised in an updated statement issued during the early hours of Wednesday morning (4 January).
"You should take particular care to avoid all areas of protests. If possible, you should remain in a safe place. You should also monitor local media, including social media channels."
