Peru is a dream for adventurers and culture seekers, where ancient Inca ruins meet vibrant Amazon jungles and high-altitude Andean villages. It attracts backpackers, foodies, and nature lovers with its mix of history, diverse landscapes, and world-class cuisine like ceviche and lomo saltado. The experience is as much about the people you meet as the places you explore.
Peru’s backpacker and hosting scene is warm and communal, with locals often eager to share stories over a cup of coca tea in the Andes. Sofahop connects travelers with hosts in 2,294 cities across 26 regions, making it easy to find authentic stays from Lima’s colonial streets to Cusco’s cobblestone alleys.
Best for: adventure seekers, culture lovers, foodies, hikers
Always carry small bills (soles) for markets, buses, and street vendors, as many places don’t accept cards.
Acclimate to the altitude by spending at least a day in Cusco or Arequipa before hiking or trekking.
Try anticuchos—grilled beef heart skewers—a local street food staple you won’t find easily elsewhere.

What made sofa surfing special was never about saving money — it was about ending up at a local's dinner table, being shown a hidden neighbourhood, or hearing a story you couldn't have paid for. Sofahop keeps that spirit alive in Peru.
