Safety in Peru in 2025 is a key issue for those planning a trip to the country. Although Peru continues to receive visitors from around the world and major tourist destinations are operating normally, there is also increased police presence and some areas under a state of emergency. Travel is entirely possible, but it’s important to be informed. In this guide, you’ll find a comprehensive overview of the current situation, the safest areas, essential recommendations, and what every traveler needs to know in 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

State of emergency in 2025<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During 2025, several areas of Lima and Callao were under a state of emergency due to an increase in urban crime. This measure allowed for a stronger police and military presence at strategic points. It did not entail the closure of tourist activities, but rather additional controls and reinforced surveillance on certain avenues, at terminals, and in high-traffic areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

In practice, tourists typically notice more uniformed officers and a few checkpoints. Airports, hotels, restaurants, and tourist areas continue to operate normally. The measure is primarily focused on combating common crime, not on affecting those visiting the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

In general, traveling in Peru remains safe if basic recommendations are followed and usual tourist routes are maintained. The country’s major destinations are fully operational, including Cusco, Arequipa<\/a>, Paracas, Huacachina, Puno, and the Amazon. Routes to Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, the Ballestas Islands, the Colca Canyon, and Lake Titicaca are open to visitors daily without restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most tourists describe their experience as positive and safe, provided they use formal services, stay in recommended areas, and avoid remote or non-touristy neighborhoods.<\/span><\/p>\n
