The US Embassy in Lima, Peru, issued a warning on Feb. 13 that it had received “credible evidence of a threat from a Peruvian terrorist group” regarding the possible kidnapping of American tourists in the Cuzco and Machu Picchu region, at least through February.
The embassy said it was confident of the Peruvian government’s efforts to ensure the safety of all visitors but that Americans should evaluate their security and monitor local news.
