Health & safety
Dangers & annoyances
Never walk alone at night. Central Pisco is fairly safe, but the market and nearby beaches should be avoided after dark and visited only in a group during the day. Muggings at gunpoint are not unheard of, even on busy pedestrian streets, so always take a taxi after sunset. Women can expect lots of unwanted attention while they walk around here, day or night. Touts for tours and hotels swarm incoming buses, and in the melee your luggage may disappear, so watch out.
