Visited Peru for 7 days. Solid experience. Scene is active. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $92/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 8.5/10. Solid destination.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $103/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: avoid weekends.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $59/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

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

Adding my experience from February.
