Dear Friends and Colleagues.


At last some excellent news about Peru and Valencia Travel.


We have now come out of quarantine in Peru! After a difficult year for all of us around the world, this has come as a huge relief after spending a whole year in quarantine.


We are still in the State of Emergency, meaning that we have to take certain health precautions such as hand sanitizing and obligatory use of face masks, but we believe that tourism and travel to Peru have become so much easier.

Little by little, we are getting back to normal and we wholeheartedly believe that we have come one big step closer to normality!


Covid 19:

The vaccination process has already initiated in Peru; the government has signed a formal agreement with Sinopharm, AstraZeneca and the COVAX Facility. According to the statesman, between 14 and 15 million Peruvian citizens are expected to be vaccinated before the winter season starts in the country (in June).


Politics: As is already known, Mr. Sagasti became President of the Republic on November 17, 2020, to lead a transitional government. His term in office is set to end on July 28, 2021. The election will take place on April 11th for the new president who is going to take his place.


Touristic Attractions: Machu Picchu and all major touristic sites are now open as of today, March 1st.



Entrance requirements: Today the government announced that there is no longer a 14-day quarantine for international arrivals. Except for travellers who have been United Kingdom, South Africa, Brazil, in the last 14 days (See more on the following link: https://cdn.www.gob.pe/uploads/document/file/1733762/Decreto%20Supremo%20N%C2%B0046-2021-PCM.pdf ) You just need to present a negative PCR certificate.

Once in the country, you will no longer need to present this for internal flights, making internal, domestic travel so much easier!

Hi! As we prepare to host you safely from March 15th this year, we are focused on helping the local communities of the Amazon during a strong second wave of the pandemic in our region.

During 2020 we supported the donation campaign organized by civil society in Tefé. Our followers and business partners donated enough to purchase more than 16 tons of food during the past year.

***

The situation in the State of Amazonas is complex, with numbers of infections and deaths caused by COVID-19 even higher than in 2020. Without being able to count on the Federal Government's Pandemic Emergency Aid (which has been discontinued from December 2020), many families are going through even more difficulties and we need, more than ever, of your help again. The donation campaign is open and we count on your support to donate and spread it to your network. Any help is welcome and will mean a lot to the communities of the Middle Brazilian Amazon.


Thank you for your support! Follow the Uakari Lodge social media to find out more information and we will be back soon to report the results of this campaign!

And remember: after this difficult time has passed, the best way to continue supporting us is to visit Mamirauá Reserve! Uakari Lodge is a not-for-profit initiative that has a socio-environmental objective of great importance to local communities.
