Visited Peru for 10 days. Great experience. Scene is as described. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $111/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8.5/10. Solid destination.
AMA.

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $126/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.
