Data methodology

How we verify rules and status

Every rule and status note on this site carries a date and a confidence level. Here is exactly what those mean and how we produce them.

How rules are verified

A rule is published only after our team checks it against a primary source, usually the Peruvian Ministry of Culture, the official ticket platform, or the current ministerial resolution. Each published rule records the source we checked, the date we checked it, and a plain summary of what it means for your trip. Draft rules that have not cleared that check do not appear on the site.

How status notes are produced

Availability and status notes are produced manually. Our team reviews the official channels and licensed operators, records what was observed and when, and writes a status note with its source and confidence. We do not run automated or live availability monitoring, and we never present a status as real-time or as live official availability. Where a date is sold out, unknown, or unclear, we say so and point you to alternatives or an alert.

What the confidence levels mean

Official: Taken directly from an official government source (the Ministry of Culture, the official ticket platform, or a published resolution) and matched to that source on the verification date.
Verified: Confirmed by our team against a primary source or a licensed operator, but not lifted verbatim from a single official document. We name the source we checked.
Reported: Consistent with what operators, travelers, or secondary sources report, but not yet confirmed against a primary source. We treat reported information as provisional and label it as such.

What “last verified” means

The last-verified date is the day our team last confirmed that fact against its source. It is not a promise that the rule has not changed since; it is an honest timestamp of our last check. Because Peruvian rules change, an older date is your signal to confirm before you commit, or to set an alert so we tell you when something we track changes.

Legal and source limitations

We rely on official Peruvian sources and licensed operators, and those sources can be incomplete, delayed, or changed without notice. Nothing here is legal, visa, or medical advice, and we do not claim to control or guarantee availability, government decisions, or third-party actions. When a question falls outside what we can verify, we tell you the last-verified status and its confidence rather than guessing.
