Travellers and Brits in Peru have been advised the protests can lead to road blockades, suspension of train services, disruption in immigration services of land borders and airport closures – often without prior notice or estimated reopening timelines.
"Protests can be unpredictable, can include violence, and can spread and escalate quickly," the FCDO travel advisory reads. "Clashes between protestors and the security forces have resulted in casualties in the past."
