Wondering whether the current strike will affect your Peru holiday? Well, you'll be pleased to hear that for the moment at least, there doesn't seem to be anything to get too worried about. Although these are undoubtedly the worst strikes to affect Peru for a number of years, the claim of a "general strike" is taking things a little far and in fact life is continuing as normal in most parts of the country.
Those on strike include teachers, miners and farmers, and so although there have been cases of roads being blocked (and in one case, temporarily, an airport) the transport infrastructure has reamined largely unaffected. Apart from seeing some street protests (which are a very common occurence in Peru anyway), most of our customers have been entirely unaffected. Where we have had to make alternative arrangements, we have been able to do so quickly, easily and with an absolute minimum of disruption.
We will, of course, continue to monitor the situation and keep you up-to-date with the latest news - if you'd like to keep in touch then why not bookmark this page or subscribe to our RSS feed?
