I spent in Peru September and October 2024. Till mid October I stayed in Cusco and the Apurímac region volunteering as a general practitioner. Then I travelled with two girlfriends. Easy to say you go from one place to another thinking "wow, this is one of the most spectacular places I've seen in my life". I've always felt safe, touristic spots are (too) well organised, might be difficult and more expensive to go up to the mountains without any agency. Sometimes I've travelled with colectivos and it was just fine. In the cities I used colectivos and not official taxi without problems.
