The Peruvian people don't seem to be that poor. Not as much as I imagined anyhow. Everybody seems to have a place to live and a plate to eat from (at least in Cusco). You don't see too many crazy psychos or alcoholics, or gangs of teenagers up to some trouble. It seems peaceful.
Peruvians will approach you with some offers, try to get your tourist money, but most of the time they back off when it's time to back off, and don't pester you that much.
Also the Peruvian people strike me as a quiet subdued people, who keep to themselves, and you never really see them getting loud, they don't talk much, even to each other. A true Peruvian pub is about 10 times quieter than a pub full of gringos.
Some Brazilians we met had some very harsh words for Bolivia, interesting how that country is gonna be ...
