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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there last year and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Is Peru still worth visiting in 2026?

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

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

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