The FCDO said following a change of government last Wednesday (7 December), which saw Dina Boluarte succeed Castillo after he was impeached, the political situation in the country had become increasingly volatile.
"There have been widespread protests, some of which are violent and can escalate quickly," said the FCDO in a fresh update to its travel advice on Tuesday morning (13 December).
"This has resulted in the disruption of travel, with several road blockades and some airport closures, including Arequipa."
