Visited Peru for 12 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is improved. Pricing fair.
Spent $82/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 9/10. Solid destination.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $116/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

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

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