Visited Peru for 7 days. Great experience. Scene is active. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $142/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 9/10. One of my favourites.

This is outdated info IMO.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

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 higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.
