The UK in Peru
Welcome to the website of the British Embassy in Peru. The Embassy is here to act as a two-way link between the UK and Peru, between our governments, companies, civil society and citizens. We work together with Peru on issues which are important to our two countries, such as sustainable development and human rights, and issues of global impact, such as climate change. We have an equally important role to provide a range of services: consular services to British residents and travellers in Peru, commercial services to British companies which want to do business in Peru, visa services to Peruvians wishing to visit the UK, and education information services to Peruvians who want to study in the UK. You can find out more about our work, these services and information about the UK by clicking on the links on this page. We hope you find the website an interesting and informative window onto the UK. If you want to give us feedback, please do so by using our "Feedback" option.
Catherine Nettleton, British Ambassador to Peru.
