Lived her 15 years. I never had an issue. Just know the bad spots and stay away. People that treat it like Chicago are stuck in the 90s or never actually been there before...

Yes, before COVID is nice. But now with the protest it's a bad time. But besides that the country is very nice as long as you don't act foolish in the streets. I think your husband has a bad view on based on 30 years ago and I believe that's very unfair to the nation. And it pains me to see that way you described it here in such a bad light and how a good amount of people upvotes especially when I know the majority doesn't know a thing about Peru.... Now when they think of Peru they will refer to you comment... It's very disappointing. The media all over the world promotes negativity in each country. That's how they gain views. I encourage you to talk to you husband to reconnect with the culture and see how far it has come since the last 3 decades. Peru is just now becoming a country of notice around the world and negative press to the unknowing people only hurts the developing nation.

Are you talking about in the present or before? Peru has been becoming a underrated tourist spot in the past recent years. And I have gone several times before. Being a Peruvian myself I can say there are problems there with corruption but most Peruvians I've talked too and non Peruvian visitors have said they loved their time there. It isn't the 90s anymore. The 90s we're around 30 years ago. Right now though maybe a bad time to go unfortunately.
