According to reports, demonstrations by transport operators and others demanding improvements in public security are expected in various locations across Peru, including Lima, from November 13 (Wed) to 15 (Fri).
In Lima, demonstrations are expected in the Old City, around Plaza Dos de Mayo, Plaza San Martin, and the Congress area, as well as in San Borja District near the APEC conference venues (Lima Convention Center, Ministry of Culture, and Gran Teatro Nacional), and other unspecified areas in the city.
In past demonstrations, some transport operators continued operating buses normally, which led to opposition from other operators participating in the protests, resulting in incidents where rocks were thrown by protestors. If using buses in Lima during the demonstrations, please be cautious of such incidents.
Remain cautious near demonstration areas and avoid approaching the demonstrations if encountered.
Travelers to Peru, as well as those currently residing in the country, should exercise caution to avoid being caught up in unexpected situations such as demonstrations, crimes, or natural disasters.

Stay informed about the latest security updates through news and other sources.
Carry only essential items and keep them out of sight. Always carry identification.
Remain vigilant, even in areas that are generally considered safe.
If encountering a robbery, do not resist, as it could escalate to violence. Prioritize your safety.

Avoid government or police-related facilities that could become targets if protests turn violent, unless absolutely necessary.
Allow extra time for travel in case of road or airport closures.
