It's time to start bringing cash into Peru and exchanging it for Soles. The ATM in Polvos Azules charged me S / 10 for a withdrawal the other day.

The most I ever attempted to debit in one day in S. A. Was $500 USA.

Posts: 3Yellow GFever Shot
You can get the Yellow Fever shot at the Lima Airport. They have a 24 hour clinic. I once flew from Lima to Sao Paulo and left my yellow certificate at my hotel, and they wouldn't let me on the airplane without it. Ran over to the clinic and made my flight on time. So I had two shots within 2 weeks. No problems. You don't need it entering the US.

Posts: 3074Yellow Fever is only one shot. I think you are getting it mixed up with the Hepatitis series.

Posts: 156Yeah but the hassle is a whole 5 minutes though.
I haven't had yellow fever injections as its like a course of 3.
They give you this form that you have to show your doctor if you develop a bunch of symptoms in 7 days or whatever. I've had a few of them, nothing too exciting.

For those mongers on budget, on my last visit to trocadero I ran across a fairly attractive working girl at this place.
She doesn't rush, it was decent screw! For 45 soles including entrance fee, to me it had been a good deal!
April, room four.

If you haven't got it they call a doctor and inject you at the airport.
Cost unknown but I bet it isn't cheap. I also bet you will be kept waiting for a hour or more until the doctor arrives. E.
If you came here without your Yellow fFver shot. I strongly suggest Get it now?
If you want to get into Australia hassle free.

Posts: 3074Just for entry into Brazil. If you are going to be visiting the amazon region you might want to get the shot just in case, but its no big deal. When I went to Brazil I stopped by the Hospital Santa Rosa on Ave. Bolivar in Pueblo Libre where the shot was cheapest.

You can get a shot at the airport. I don't remember the cost, but it's not too bad. Of course nothing is required for the US.

Hope this helps.

Posts: 68Yellow Fever Vaccination and or Certificate. What is the latest in 2011
Have tried to RTFF but cannot find anything using the Search Feature.
Just came across this website link and info:-
http://www.smarttraveller.gov.au/zw-...ew/advice/Peru
Peru is listed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as endemic for yellow fever. Some airlines may require passengers to present a valid Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate before being allowed to board flights out of the country. If in doubt, check with your airline.
If you have visited Peru in the last six days prior to your date of return to Australia, Australian Customs officials will ask you to present a valid Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate on entry into Australia.
Cheers for any assistance.
