I went to Peru in August and found it to be safe and people-friendly and pleasant. I recommend booking a stay in populated city center areas to be extra cautious, and hold your belongings in crowded areas but other than that, I found the place welcoming across Lima, Cusco, Sacred Valley and Rainbow Mountain.
Posted: April 21, 2024From my experience, I can say that Peru is safe for solo female travelers as long as you stick to tourist areas. I visited Lima, Cusco, Colca Canyon, and Arequipa. Also went through 4 day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Met so many nice people and had the time of my life.

I had a fantastic trip to Peru. In Lima, I visited a lot of museums and participated in culinary tours. I even took a flight to see the Nasca Lines. Then I jumped on a boat to see the Humboldt penguins. After that, I flew to Cusco to see Machu Picchu and I took up the challenge of climbing the Rainbow Mountain, which was very high, over 16,000 feet. It was an amazing journey.
Posted: November 8, 2023I went to Ica, where there is an oasis in the desert. I went sandboarding and saw the most beautiful sunset in my life. Then I went to Cusco, got used to the altitude, and went on a 4-day trek (Salkantay Trail) to Machu Picchu. It was hard, but it was worth it. And I simply fell in love with Cusco. If I had more time, I would go to Lake Titicaca, Rainbow Mountain, Paracas and more places.
