No vaccinations are required to enter Peru, Bolivia unless you are going to the Amazon Rainforest or other jungle areas. Following is advice for Peru and Ecuador, where all of our jungle lodges are located.
Yellow fever
Peru currently does not require a yellow fever vaccination, but the lodges advise it, especially during the rainy season (November through April), when there are more insects.
This vaccination, which is valid for 10 years, must be administered at least 10 days before your arrival in the rainforest. Ecuador does not require a vaccination and the lodges do not advise it. For definitive advice, consult your physician or a specialist in tropical medicine

You don't need Yellow fever to enter these countries if you are a Canadian Citizen.
If you are a U.S. citizen, Bolivia requires proof of vaccination as a condition for entering the country. They also charge U.S. citizens for a visa ($100).
