Camping in Peru?

Question

Is it fun and safe to wonder into a nearby forest around any town or city like Lima and pitch a tent and sleep in it every night?

If safe do you recommend I get the camping equipment (tent, pad, sleeping bag) in canada before i go or can i get that stuff there?

Answer 1

Yes.

Answer 2

No, not around Lima.  There are places to camp in Peru, especially in mountainous regions far from Lima.  Check with a reliable agency like http://www.peruandes.com

Answer 3

yes, there are very good places.

It's better if you get your camping equipment in Canada.

Answer 4

lol, thats not even safe in the U.S.

Answer 5

I wouldn't do it, if I were you. People do camp in some State parks but usually they go in groups and by 4X4 Camping outside of Lima? Just plain forget that idea. Sorry!
