Peru is an appealing destination for many Ecuadorians, thanks to its rich history and stunning natural landscapes. Attractions like Machu Picchu, the Andes, and the Amazon rainforest highlight the country's unique offerings. With around 500,000 Ecuadorians traveling abroad annually, a portion of them is likely to consider Peru as a travel option.
Peru is generally considered safer for tourists compared to Ecuador. According to the Global Peace Index, Peru ranks 97th out of 160 countries, while Ecuador is ranked 128th. The murder rates also reflect this disparity, with Ecuador at 14.0 per 100,000 people, compared to Peru's 5.7. In terms of organized crime, while both countries face challenges, Peru has slightly lower indices in several categories, such as foreign crime (Ecuador 7.5 vs. Peru 5.0) and the heroin trade (Ecuador 6.0 vs. Peru 3.5). However, Peru does have higher indices for resource crime (9.0) and cocaine trade (9.0) compared to Ecuador. Overall, tourists from Ecuador can expect a relatively safer environment in Peru, but they should remain aware of local conditions and take standard safety precautions while traveling.
