Peru is a safe country, but although crime is not as extreme as in cities such as Rio de Janeiro, New York or Rome, one should observe basic precautions. Be careful especially in crowded, dark and lonely areas.
It is advisable to carry a photocopy of your passport and tourist card when walking by the street or using a public transport in a city. |
