The Embassy and Consulate of Peru in Cuba has communicated, via social networks and official channels, a series of important notifications to Cuban travelers, who intend, among other options, to use this route to reach Nicaragua by air. With the obstacles faced by countries as different as Panama, Costa Rica or Colombia, Cubans continue to search for solutions to leave the island and continue on their way to the United States.

This Embassy will consult with the relevant Peruvian authorities and will provide information as soon as a response is received. To all who are interested, it will be appreciated if you remain vigilant about the dissemination channels of this diplomatic mission,” they pointed out from his facebook.
Immediately, the Cuban travelers responded with comments such as: “We hope that whatever decision he makes will be in the best interests of all those people involved today in this situation and much more when it was something I would allow at a certain moment without issue.”
“Let’s make it this big. We don’t want to enter your country, it’s not fair to lose our money. We bought those tickets months ago and there were no problems. I even called the embassy when they bought me the ticket with that station and they told me that if I don’t go more than 12 hours I won’t I’m having no problems,” said another Cuban user who wanted to travel to Panama.
