Hobsons & Plan USA's Trip to Peru

June 12-17, 2017

Welcome to the Hobsons and Plan USA’s Trip to Peru! Below you will find some information that will be useful while planning your travels.

REGISTRATION FORM:

Please complete the following Guest Profile form at your earliest convenience (Click here). This allows us to easily record your vital travel information.

FLIGHTS FROM THE US:

International flights are booked by travelers independently.  If you would like the contact information for a trusted independent travel agent we are happy to provide you with this information.  Kindly forward your international flight information to Naomi (naomi@elevatedestinations.com) once you have booked your flights.

Main Program:

  • Arrive at Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) no later than 4pm on June 12*, 2017.
  • Leave from at Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) any time on June 17, 2017.

*While the trip officially begins on June 12th, we are happy to help make arrangements for you to arrive earlier, and encourage this for travelers who would like the extra time to rest after the long flight.

EXTENSIONS:

Please let us know if you are interested in extending your travels before or after the main program – We highly recommend a visit to Machu Picchu!

Elevate is pleased to support Plan USA’s great work by donating 5% of the profit of extension bookings back to them.

TRAVEL INSURANCE:

Elevate Destinations strongly recommends that all travelers have travel insurance for any trip they wish to take with us. Please note that some insurance options require purchase within 24 hours of making payment for your trip. We encourage you to review your travel insurance options before making payment to Elevate Destinations.

Elevate Destinations is partnered with the Travel Insurance Center, a broker of travel protection products. For assistance, contact Alan Lightbody, Agent Representative, Email alightbody@travelinsurancecenter.com,  Toll Free 1-866-979-6753 Ext. 3648, or Direct 402-343-3648.

Guests may acquire travel insurance through the Travel Insurance Center, or any other travel insurance company of their choosing. Elevate Destinations recommends that travelers evaluate the insurance options available for their needs, and inquire with providers about insurance that will provide coverage if the trip needs to be cancelled.

PASSPORT:

Travelers to Peru should ensure that the validity of their passports extends at least six months beyond the end of their intended stay, and should have at least one blank (unstamped) visa pages in their passport to enter the country. The last two amendment pages are unacceptable for visas and immigration stamps.

VISA/TOURIST CARD:

US citizens do not need a visa for a stay of less than 30 days in Peru.

HEALTH CONCERNS

Please be sure check the CDC Website for Peru for updated information about vaccinations and health concerns, and check with your medical provider or travel clinic about your individual requirements.

In addition to being up-to-date on routine vaccinations 4-6 weeks before travel, the CDC recommends that most travelers be vaccinated for Hepatitis A and Typhoid. The CDC also recommends some travelers to be vaccinated for Hepatitis B and Rabies.

*Yellow Fever and Malaria: While these diseases are present in parts of Peru, we will not be traveling to these areas on this trip. The CDC does not recommend Yellow Fever and Malaria immunizations for Lima and locations above a certain elevate threshold ( Yellow fever: above 2,300 m (7,546 ft); Malaria: above 2,000 m (6,561 ft))

Zika is present in Peru. Because of the risk of birth defects in babies born to women who were infected with Zika while pregnant, women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should discuss their travel plans with their doctor and consider postponing nonessential travel to Peru. Travelers to Peru should strictly follow steps to prevent mosquito bites and sexual exposure to Zika virus.
