Has anyone had any recent experiences with drone usage in Peru?

I'm heading out there in a few months and I'm debating on whether to take my Mavic 2 Pro or not. I am aware you have to declare your drone upon arrival at the airport and have to pay around 20% value of your drone (you get this back upon leaving the country)... not really an issue, I've heard it's pretty straight forward.

I will be travelling to Ollayamtambo, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and doing an alternative trek to Macchu Pichu. I am fully aware it is forbidden to fly drones over any sacerd site (Moray, Salt Mines, Macchu Pichu etc). I have also heard it is not allowed to allowed to fly in or around Cusco, does anyone have any experience with this? I wouldn't fly directly over the city, just the outskirts (taking off from a hillside overlooking the city).

I am wondering if it's worth taking it all if drones are forbidden at all of these sites... I intend on travelling to Huarez after Cusco, this is purely a mountainious region with stunning mountains reaching up to 6,000+ metres in altitude. Perhaps it's worth taking the drone for this region alone, even if I am unable to fly when I am in Cusco/the Sacred Valley?

Anyone with recent or past experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey, thank you for the response. Unfortunately Peru isn't listed on the first link you posted?

You are very much welcome travelswithlewi. With regards to this first link I have posted. You may try to refer to the section to learn about regulations for your specific airlines and on how to pack the battery of your DJI Mavic 2 Pro properly. Thank you.
