Given that around 600,000 Peruvians travel abroad annually, a portion may find Guyana an intriguing option to explore.
Guyana presents certain safety concerns for tourists, especially when compared to Peru. According to the Global Peace Index, Guyana ranks 109th out of 160 countries, while Peru ranks higher at 97th.
