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
- New venues worth checking out
I was there 6 months ago and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Peru — overrated or just right?

Did you use an agency or find girls at clubs?

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

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

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.
