Peru at a glance
Peru by the numbers
Median price, traveller rating and review volume for the destinations we track in Peru. Numbers come from our own daily snapshots of the booking catalogue — the median is the middle price of the sampled set, not an average pulled toward cheap vouchers.
Where to go in Peru
The destinations below are ranked by how much there is to book and how many travellers have reviewed it — the closest public proxy for demand. Big catalogue means more competition on price; heavy review volume means the experience is proven, not new.
Peru concentrates 60% of everything bookable in Cusco alone — 4,257 experiences of 7,085. The next two, Lima and Arequipa, add another 24%. That concentration is why a first trip usually starts in Cusco: the competition between operators there is what keeps prices honest.
Prices are not uniform across Peru. Arequipa has the lowest median at €32, while Puerto Maldonado runs at €356 — a gap of €323 for the same category of experience. Small towns with a single famous sight tend to sit at the expensive end: less competition, higher margin.
77% of the options we track in Peru allow free cancellation, and Cusco holds the highest traveller rating at 4.9. Ratings above 4.7 with tens of thousands of reviews usually mean the operator has been running the same route for years — the opposite of a new listing with a perfect but thin score.
What to know before booking in Peru
Across the 12 destinations we track in Peru, the median price of an experience is not one number but a range — and where a city sits in that range says more about competition between operators than about the place itself.
- €44A quarter of destinations sit under · usually cities with a crowded catalogue

- €225Three quarters sit under · above this, small towns with one famous sight
How much do tours in Peru cost?
Across the 7,085 bookable experiences we track in Peru, prices span the full range from entry tickets to private full-day tours. Each destination page shows the median for that specific city, which is a better guide than any country-wide average.
Which destinations in Peru have the most to book?
The list on this page is ordered by real inventory: the destinations at the top have the largest number of bookable experiences, which usually also means more competition on price.
Is it cheaper to book on arrival?
For anything with timed entry or a daily visitor cap, no — those sell out and the remaining options are the expensive ones. For open-air sights with no queue, booking ahead buys you nothing.
Which destination in Peru offers the best value?
By median price, Arequipa is the cheapest of the destinations we track in Peru at €32, against €356 in Puerto Maldonado. Value is not only price: Arequipa also holds a 4.8 traveller rating, so the lower median is not coming from weaker operators.
How many days should I spend in Peru?
A useful proxy is catalogue depth: Cusco alone has 4,257 bookable experiences, enough for several days without repeating a category. Countries where the top destination holds more than half of everything bookable reward a single base with day trips; where it is spread out, moving between two or three destinations makes more sense.
