Peru is a country in South America that's home to a section of Amazon rainforest and Machu Picchu, an ancient Incan city high in the Andes mountains. Peru is among the 20 most beautiful countries in the world. The nation's thriving melting pot of cultures reflect a vibrant, diverse community, many with roots as far back to the Incas and other sophisticated pre-Columbian civilizations.

Peru is also a pet friendly destination for tourists who love to travel with their four-legged companion. There are many pet-friendly hotels, beaches and restaurants that allow pet owners to spend some quality time with their pets and not to miss the Community Theme Park Peru which is exclusively for dogs. While travelling with your pet, it is important to keep the following things in mind-

• The first step is to microchip your pet with a 15 digit ISO compliant pet microchip.
• Even though a rabies titer test is not mandatory for Peru, it is important to vaccinate your pets against rabies, 21 days and 12 months prior to entering the country. Other vaccinations include, for dogs: Rabies, Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, and Parovirus. For cats: Feline Vioral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus and Panleukopenia (FVRCP).
• A licensed veterinarian must complete the health certificate for your pet 07 days prior to travel.
• An import permit is not required when entering Peru with a personal pet.
• A ticks and tapeworm examination should be performed by your veterinarian shortly prior to travel and should be included with the Veterinary Certificate for endorsement.
• Pets must enter Peru via Jorge Chávez International Airport. Pets can enter in the cabin, as checked baggage or air cargo.
• Upon arrival at the Lima airport you must proceed to the SENASA OFFICE and pay a small fee for their pet certificate in the Lima airport.
• All domestic dogs and cats must be free of evidence of disease communicable to humans when examined at the port of entry.
• Peru does not publish a list of banned breeds.
