Peruvian people are very warm with foreign tourists
Here in Cusco, the inhabitants are used to share the city and the region with travelers all along the year; they are used to see large and small groups of tourists riding or walking in cities, villages and archaeological sites. People are really helpful and caring with tourists, due to a natural sense of civility and also because tourism is the main economic activity of the region.
Peruvians remain away from social conflicts
Here in Cusco, people really is not prone to violence against tourists, so there is no risk at all of something related happening here in Peru, which is not the case in some other world’s premier destinations like Paris, London or Egypt, to name some. Here in Peru, impossible to have dangerous situations like those that happen there sometimes.

No racial tensions at all either
Peru is actually a multiracial country, where race tensions are really on a minimum level, nationals actually coexist in a very peaceful way. The Cusco region is used to kindly receive North American, African-American, Asian, Hispanic, Nordic, Russian people, you name it, travelers from all over the world. No racial tensions here, for everybody is actually looking for a quite relaxing and enriching vacation. So safe tourism here is real for a fact.
No minorities are bullied
Interestingly, Peruvian people conflicts on religion and LGBT issues for instance, remain confined to the nationals; the vast majority of Peruvians deem foreign tourists to come from far more open-minded cultures, with a “these are societies more evolved than ours” attitude. So they don’t interfere at all; most Peruvian people approach foreigners from the developed world as people from whom they can learn many things about more advanced stages of civilization.
