b) Arrival by land, lake or river: 72 hours before entering the country

3. Nasal antigen with a negative result for those older than 5 years:

a) Arrival by air: 48 hours before shipment in the country of origin

b) Arrival by land, lake or river: 48 hours before entering the country

4. Comply with biosafety measures (facemask and hands disinfection or constant washing).

With these measures, entry into the country is now more flexible and easier for tourists to arrive.

Chile: Travel requirements

Foreigners and non-resident Chilean must have health insurance with a specific COVID-19 coverage plan.

Travelers must swear a declaration “Travel Affidavit” no more than 48hrs before boarding. This form will display a QR code as a means of verification. It is available at www.c19.cl.

It is recommended for people who are not vaccinated or who have an incomplete vaccination schedule to do a test for COVID, but this is NOT a requirement!

The Chilean government will carry out aleatory tests at border crossings.

It is not mandatory to be vaccinated. The vaccine homologation before the Health Ministry of Chile is voluntary. We recommend processing it, since it gives access to the Mobility Pass, which allows entry to restaurants, theaters, and buses, among others

Find Here more Corona rules

And at the airlines LATAM you also can find the info Airline

EXCEPTIONALLY during the coronavirus, we managed to get that

1 / You can cancel free of charge if you do this up to 15 days before arrival in Peru during corona block for traveling to Peru( if we can get all cost back from hotels – buses and services in peru)

2 / THIS ALSO exceptional for trekking, including inca trail in (March and April and May and June ) only for the moment to change for an other date in 2021), this means that permits are released that are salable again.

3 / you can change your travel dates free of charge (subject to availability of hotels and hikes for the newly chosen dates) We also hear from most international airlines that this change of dates allows without a service changing fee. If you choose 2021, we have to look if entree fee Machu picchu and local air tickets are stil valid

4 / the only thing we cannot change (at the moment) are the local flights, which are currently very strict and require a changing fee + payment of a difference in price for the other preferred dates.

5 / if you have already made a deposit, this deposit remains valid for another trip within 365 days, counting from the dates you normally had to arrive, without a changing fee.( only Incatrail and Local flights have expenses)

In addition, we try to agree with all the hotels and operators not to increase the price in 2021, so that we can offer the same trip, extended to 2021, at the same price. This is confirmed 100% later.

NOTE that we notice that the hotel you have chosen is difficult this year and does not cooperate for a solution, we may choose another comparable hotel in the same price range next year.

We hope to be of service to you with this. Together we look for the best solution to get through these difficult times! A satisfied customer is our best promotion.

We do our best to keep everyone happy.

Strength in these difficult times, and greetings from
