This is the official website of the Department of State of the United States.

One important thing to look out for when we visit a foreign land is that nation's policies on religious freedom. "Does this country allow the practice of one's own religion or does it impose a national religion policy?" "Will I be able to practice my spiritual beliefs here or will it be suppressed?"

I know you ask this. That's why I present to you the US State Department's assessment of the freedom of religion in Peru so you can think about it.

Church of Peru

A small congregation of the Latter Day Saints was first organized in 1956, where in missionaries began preaching by August of the same year. The church building was duly purchased by November.

Before all this, the Latter Day Saint families living in Peru held group meetings.

Byt 1959, the time the Andes mission was organized, there were about 300 members in all five congregations.
