Is It Safe to Visit Peru?
Yes. Peru is considered a safe destination for travellers, especially in well-travelled regions like Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu. Tourism is one of the country’s most important industries, and local hospitality providers are experienced in welcoming international guests. Like any major destination, staying aware of your surroundings is important, but with GHardy Tours, your itinerary is carefully curated to prioritize comfort, security, and seamless logistics. From vetted accommodations to private transfers and on-the-ground support, we make it easy to experience Peru with complete peace of mind.
How Long to Stay in Peru
Most GHardy clients spend 7–10 nights in Peru, with time divided between Lima, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and (optionally) Lake Titicaca or the Amazon. If you’re combining Peru with another South American destination, a shorter 5–6 night trip can still be tailored to feel rich and unrushed.
Starting Price Range
Luxury itineraries with private guides, high-end accommodations, and exclusive experiences typically begin at $4,000 USD per person for a 7-night trip. More elaborate or remote itineraries range from $8,000–$12,000+ USD, depending on duration and customization.
