Visited Peru for 10 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $112/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 9/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.

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

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

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

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $140/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.
