I remember big protests last year in the news.

I’m thinking of heading to Lima for the first time in January. Are things back to normal now?

    I was there a few weeks ago (female, 20s) and felt perfectly safe. The city center was quite crowded though, so just watch your personal belongings.

      It’s still South America as in you should be careful about phone snatchings, but it’s on the safer side for sure and violet crime is not an issue in Miraflores & Barranco.

    I was there in July & August. Lima, Cusco, and Arequipa are all known to be fine. Most of the north is also fine. There was a protest when I was in Cusco but it was not a big deal. Nobody expects it to be as bad as it was earlier. The only place I heard to to exercise some caution is Puno, but it’s more of a logistical concern than a safety one.
