A: More information is needed. Which nation's passport? If you do so, then your travel falls under the jurisdiction of that nation, not the U.S. That means that you 'may' need a visitors visa depending upon the 'current relationship' between that nation and Peru. If you are arrested, detained, kidnapped, or missing, then your family will likely require the diplomatic services of the nation of that "other nation's passport." The U.S. may no longer have jurisdiction over you based upon international law. A person who uses another passport other than the U.S. may be viewed with respect, scrutiny, or suspicion depending upon those that control Peru's port of entry. It is unclear if you will be refused entry. Again, more information is needed.
