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 in 2024 and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers
Peru vs last year — has it changed?

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.
