Visited Peru for 10 days. Great experience. Scene is as described. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $58/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 7.5/10. One of my favourites.
AMA.

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

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

I was there in February and prices were great value.
Spent about $63/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: avoid weekends.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.
