The biggest problem for travellers in Peru is, without a doubt, thieves, for which the country has one of the worst reputations in South America - on one particular train journey (the Arequipa-Puno night service) many tourists have been robbed over the years. As far as violent attacks go, you're probably safer in Peru than in New York, Sydney or London. And as for terrorism - as the South American Explorers' Club once described it - "the visitor, when considering his safety, would be better off concentrating on how to avoid being run over in the crazed Lima traffic" Other useful information
