Peru offers a rich blend of history and natural beauty, making it an appealing destination for some Estonian travelers. With attractions like Machu Picchu, the Andes, and the Amazon rainforest, it presents unique experiences that could attract a portion of the 600,000 Estonians who travel abroad annually.
Peru presents different safety considerations for tourists from Estonia. While Estonia ranks 4th among 40 European countries for safety when walking alone at night, there is no comparable data for Peru. The Global Peace Index places Peru at 97th out of 160 countries, significantly lower than Estonia's 24th position. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Peru is 5.7 per 100,000 people, compared to Estonia's 2.0. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Peru at 2.1 and Estonia at 0.6. Further analysis from the Global Organized Crime Index shows that Peru has higher indices for various types of crime, indicating a more challenging environment. For example, mafia groups in Peru score 6.0 (compared to Estonia's 3.0), and state crime is rated at 7.0 in Peru versus 2.0 in Estonia. Overall, while many tourists visit Peru safely, it is advisable for Estonian travelers to remain vigilant and informed about their surroundings and local conditions.
