Visited Peru for 5 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is active. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $89/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 9/10. Solid destination.

I was there in March and prices were great value.
Spent about $98/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

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

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

This is outdated info IMO.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

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

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