In the last weeks, all of our countries have considerably reduced their COVID-related entry and travel restrictions so it's high time for an update!
Travelers who are fully vaccinated can travel to all of our destinations without showing a negative PCR test.
While unvaccinated travelers can travel to Argentina without taking a PCR test, a negative result is still necessary to enter Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Uruguay. Unvaccinated travelers are allowed to enter Chile, but a "Mobility Pass" is required to travel within the country without restriction (domestic flights, restaurants, museums etc) and to register for that, a full vaccination scheme is needed. In case the vaccination is not approved or the traveler is not vaccinated, a negative PCR-test is required for each flight, restaurant visit etc. Colombia currently does not allow unvaccinated travelers into the country.
Most countries require a COVID-19 travel health insurance and a filled out declaration of health to enter.
All land borders and ports are open again, making it easy to travel between countries.
