Home Exchange in Peru
0 verified homes
Peru unfolds in three distinct worlds: the arid Pacific coast where ceviche is squeezed with lime at lunch counters, the Andean highlands where stone streets climb past colonial churches and Quechua is still spoken in the markets, and the Amazon basin where the jungle hums at dawn. Lima's cevicherías and art galleries give way to Cusco's cobblestones and the Sacred Valley's terraced hillsides. Arequipa's white volcanic sillar stone glows at sunset. Whether you're drawn to archaeological mysteries, mountain trails, or the crackle of a wood-fired anticucho grill, Peru asks you to slow down and taste it.

Frequently asked questions
How does home exchange on SwappaHome work?
You list your home, earn 1 credit for every night you host a guest, and spend those credits to stay at any other home in the network — always 1 credit per night. No money changes hands between members. New accounts start with 10 free credits, so you can book your first trip before you've hosted anyone.
Is it safe to swap homes with strangers?
Every member goes through identity verification before they can list or book. All messages run through our encrypted chat. After each stay, guests and hosts leave mutual reviews — reputation is the foundation of the whole community, and members with low ratings lose access. For extra peace of mind, we recommend confirming house rules in writing before arrival.
Do I need to swap directly with the same person?
No. SwappaHome uses a credit system, not direct 1-to-1 swaps. You can host a family from Berlin and use the credits you earn to stay with a completely different host in Tokyo six months later. It makes travel dates, destinations and group sizes much easier to match.
Can I join if I don't own a home?
Yes — you can earn credits by hosting in a spare room, a long-term rental (if your lease allows guests) or by gifting/receiving credits from other members. You can also buy a starter pack if you want to travel before you host. Listing your primary home is the most common path, but it's not the only one.
When's the best time to visit Peru?
The dry season from May through September is ideal for the highlands and Machu Picchu — clear skies, crisp mornings, easier trekking. The coast stays mild year-round, though Lima can be grey with garúa mist from June to October. If you're heading into the Amazon, the drier months of May to October mean fewer mosquitoes and better trail access, though the jungle stays lush and humid all year. Shoulder months like April and October often offer good weather with fewer crowds at the major sites.
