Peru presents certain safety challenges for tourists, particularly when compared to Belgium. According to the Global Peace Index, Peru ranks 97th out of 160 countries, while Belgium is much safer at 16th. The murder rate in Peru is significantly higher at 5.7 per 100,000 people, compared to Belgium's 1.1. Additionally, various crime indices indicate that Peru has higher levels of organized crime and violence. For instance, Peru scores 6.0 for mafia groups and 8.0 for crime networks, whereas Belgium scores much lower at 3.0 and 4.5, respectively. While many tourists visit Peru without incident, it is advisable for travelers from Belgium to remain vigilant, stay informed about local conditions, and take standard safety precautions.
