Visited Peru for 12 days. Solid experience. Scene is active. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $79/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 7.5/10. One of my favourites.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

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

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $53/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

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