Scam risk

9/10

"Perosillo is extremely safe, with very low crime. The main risks are rural: uneven paths, livestock on roads, and limited lighting at night. Keep valuables out of sight when parked. Wild boar may be encountered near fields at dusk. Emergency services are slower due to remote location; always have a charged phone and car fuel. No scams target tourists here."
