Most travel agents and tour operators will offer
you insurance policies when you book your flight
or holiday. These are usually reasonable value,
though as ever, you should check the small print.
If you feel the cover is inadequate, or want to
compare prices, any travel agent, insurance
broker or bank should be able to help. If you
have a good "all risks" home insurance policy it
may well cover your possessions against loss or
theft when overseas, and many private medical
schemes also cover you when abroad - make sure
you know the procedure and the helpline number.
For Peru, Journey Latin America has one of the
most - if not the most - comprehensive deals
around, covering you for up to £2,500,000 in
medical expenses, £2,000,000 in personal
liability, and baggage up to £1250. Prices start
at £40 for eight days, £85 for 45 days, £153 for
three months, and then £37 for each subsequent
month. Slightly cheaper is the ISIS policy,
available from branches of STA, which costs £35
for a month's cover. Other good, reasonably
priced policies are issued by Endsleigh
