Our experience is, that local people in Peru lie to make you hire them. Taxi drivers, tour guides, etc. We caught them on multiple occasions. We also helped other couples not to get mislead.
In Colombia, we did not see this. So maybe they lie better. 😂

That's good! We are backpacking for 6 month, so cannot afford hiring guides everywhere. So we try to do many things on our own.
Had no problem so far, just annoying to see that they lie to get hired. It makes the overall experience a little bit worse.
