Yes my experience is Peruvians don't like them. In 2017 in the last round of CONEMBOL WC qualifying, matches all the games were simultanous kick offs.
In the last few minutes word got through to the players on the pitch of Colombia verus Peru (1-1 scoreline) in Lima, that Chile were 3-0 down against Brazil. That result meant Chile gonna finish 6th on GD to Peru (5th), with Colombia a point ahead in 4th. The Peruvian & Colombian players started whispering to each other and basically stopped playing.
Colombia were off to the Russia WC, Peru just had to play NZ in the playoff, and the common enemy Chile were out. Everyone was delighted except the crying Chileans. Remembering they had won the two preceding Copa Americas, so there was quite a bit of jealous anti Chilean sentiment around.
Seems that both Chileans and Argentinians are often disliked in the latin countries with the bigger indigenous populations like Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador. Chile and Argentina look a lot more towards Europe, and have millions of people with Italian, Spanish, German, French even English heritage. Very small indigenous populations. Heard a story that the Chilean police force is the least corrupt in Sth America, because it has a history of recruiting from it's German ex pat/heritage popn. Of course the odd Nazi may have hidden away in there.
To be honest I can sympathise with Chileans and Argentinians being a bit snobbish. The education system in Peru is very basic, so most of the population to be rudely blunt ain't that bright, and daily you'd just see stuff that makes you shake your head. Kinda cute and chilled start with to (tranquillo, manana manana), then increasingly frustrating the more time you spend there.
Covid just magnified it. Having to walk through a disinfectant foot trough to enter a store, security guards making you wear 2 masks to enter, when 5 metres away 4 taxi drivers unmasked are sharing a beer. The requirement at one stage to wear gloves to go supermarket shopping.
The drawn out slow routine of the check out chick/bloke swiping all the items, only then when that is finished packing them into the bags. The customer in front of you just standing and watching why they do it. The traffic light goes green and a millisecond later, a queue of cars are tooting their horns. A family go to the beach, eat & drink, get up and leave all their plastic & glass garbage in the sand. The bin is 10 metres away. Passengers exit a van taxi, and just kick their empty plastic bottles out into the pavement. A guy buys 2 bananas and without anyone even thinking it's put into a plastic bag. Apparently Easter Island's beaches are smothered with human trash. You don't need to be oceanographer to work the fudge out where it has come from. It's sort of depressing when you think of your own small solo atttempts to recycle, do the right thing etc. It's like the polar opposite of how I imagine Japan to be.
So yeah I don't blame the Chileans & Argies for being a little arrogant. They are more like us. And yeah Chile is very similar to NZ geographically, and landscape wise - though they have more desert that us for sure. My uncle (ex Lincoln Uni) who has lived here in QLD since 1968, is an avocado/mango expert. Now retired he consulted around the world including numerous trips to Chile advising on avos. He always said it was the best paid ($USD) but toughest trip, as they worked him there from dawn to dusk.
