Americans flee Peru as border closures trap hundreds
A 33-year-old American woman with a critical autoimmune condition finally boarded a flight from Cusco to Miami after a 10 day delay, while hundreds of other U.S. citizens remained stranded as Peru closed borders amid the coronavirus pandemic. The LATAM flight, organized by the State Department, landed with 167 passengers after earlier charter attempts were blocked. Authorities cited chaotic approvals and slow transmission of permissions, with about 4,000 Americans still in Peru and many more in nearby Ecuador awaiting repatriation.
