Thieves are the biggest problem in Peru, with one of the
worst reputations in South America. Be especially cautious in
crowded areas, on public transport, bus and train stations, and in
the centre of Lima at night. Special care is required in the cities
of Lima and Cuzco against street and violent crime. An organised
tour group was attacked and robbed on the Inca Trail on 15 November
2005 by a group of armed men, and there have been recent attacks on
foreigners trekking in the Huayhuash region near Huaraz and
trekkers should be cautious in the area and seek advice before
setting out. Thieves and muggers also operate in Huaraz and
Arequipa. Women should take particular care to only take taxis that
have been pre-booked by a hotel or official company, and travellers
arriving at Lima International Airport should be wary of thieves
posing as taxi drivers or tour operators. There has also been an
increase in the number of crimes associated with taxis in the main
cities. Visitors should avoid all political gatherings and
demonstrations as these have the potential for violence.
