Best areas in Peru:
Main Scene: Nightlife strip. Best concentration of venues. Busy but learnable.
Alternatives: Local areas for experienced visitors.
Hope this helps.

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

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 7/10 destination.

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