Peru Earthquake Update

 A 8.0 magnitude earthquake struck Ica Province in Peru on the evening of Wednesday 15th August. The earthquake has caused serious damage to infrastructure and services in the towns of Ica and Pisco, as well as significant damage to the surrounding areas, with over 500 deaths and more than 1000 injuries reported. The earthquake was also felt strongly in Lima, and tremors were felt as far away as Cusco.

Several Kumuka groups were travelling through Peru at the time of the earthquake: all clients and crew are safe and have been accounted for.

Kumuka has been monitoring UK Foreign Office advice, as well as receiving updates from our crew and local ground handlers based in Peru. Our trips were scheduled to visit the destinations of Paracas, the Ballestas Islands, Huacachina and Puerto Inca. However, due to their close proximity to the epicentre of the earthquake, we have taken the decision to re-route tours which were scheduled to visit these destinations until further notice, as we cannot currently guarantee the safety and security of our passengers and crew in and around these areas.
