Has anyone been to Peru recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there a while back and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.
