What is Peru like? Should I have safety concerns?
Peru is a spectacular country that offers the diversity in climate of the US or Europe with an unspoiled innocence of a developing country. This is a country with 15,000 ft. mountains and small villages where people have farmed their land the same way for hundreds of years. Following the events of 9/11, guests traveling from the US have expressed concerns about safety issues. We can assure you that you will feel comfortable and safe at all times. In the late 80s and early 90s, Peru experienced some acts of terrorism, which resulted in a swift and vicious government crackdown. As a result, Peru has been an extremely safe and pleasant place to visit for the last 10 years.
