Peru is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, home to not only Machu Picchu, but Huacachina Desert Oasis, Lake Titicaca, Rainbow Mountain, and more. Unfortunately, like in almost any country, protests can happen for a number of reasons (like we have seen in France, the USA, and the UK recently). These protests NEVER look to cause issues for tourists but of course, strikes at airports, for example, can cause problems, which is unfortunately what happened here in December 2022.
However we are happy to say Peru is fully back to normal with 2023 expected to be a great year for tourism as the country grows in popularity due to having so many incredible attractions in 1 place.
We at Peru Hop are ALWAYS here to answer any questions you may have, with our on-the-ground local expert team here in Lima only too happy to help. See HERE about how to contact us.

Peru is a very diverse country, from tourist hot spots to jungle villages that are almost inaccessible, and from the extremely wealthy to the extremely poor. As a result, there are some towns that can be affected by hygiene issues and diseases. 99% of the places where tourists go will have no issues with any diseases such as Dengue or anything else.
Rest assured, Peru Hop is a local Peruvian company, and we give a lot back to the community here in Peru through donations and community work from our amazing local staff.
