Current Travel Situation
Peru to Iceland: What You Need to Know
Spain is one of the most popular European destinations for Peruvian travelers, owing to shared language and strong cultural ties. It is a core Schengen member, and Peruvian citizens enjoy the 90-day visa exemption across the entire Schengen zone. Madrid and Barcelona are the primary entry cities, with direct flights available from Lima via Iberia and LATAM.
Practical Tips
Madrid and Barcelona are both major entry points with direct or near-direct flights from Lima (typically 12-15 hours with one stop). Spain is a natural first Schengen destination for Peruvians thanks to the language. Be aware the 90-day Schengen clock starts on your first European entry, not when you arrive in Spain specifically. Carry accommodation details and a return ticket.
