Abancay
8.7
Mid score (6-8)
Abancay's the regional capital so you get actual restaurants, a small university crowd, and occasional tourists passing through. You'll find Spanish speakers who studied in Lima and some English in touristy spots. The colonial architecture and market activity give it energy other Apurímac towns lack.
Lower score (below 6)
It's still a small Andean city at 8,200 ft where most social life revolves around family and church — dating is formal and tied to marriage intent. Women from outside town face real pressure, and foreign men are viewed with suspicion as temporary visitors. The altitude hits hard if you're not acclimated.
