Thanks PVDtoDEL. I was able to get a fare of $485 RT from DEN for the dates I wanted. Else it was $410 for mid-week departures.
Something I always wanted to visit for the right fare. Thanks to Delta for a decent fare from DEN.

Looks like a hub-attack. In looking at the rules, it has a ticket-by date of 9/3 (could be pulled before then, of course), and a season of Nov. 19-April 14.
Also looks like you get a much better seat/date selection by forcing 3 DL segments both ways on ITA. Most dates in March opened up after doing that at around $404 a-i from IAH-LIM RT.

Yes, apparently the popular thing to do on FT now is post the one way fares for ex-USA departures if they're available, because much of the taxes hit on the return, so the tickets look significantly more attractive (187 one way vs 400ish return as others noted).
Here is the breakdown:
~140 base each way
on the outbound you have
US September 11th Security Fee (AY) $2.50
[share of] US Passenger Facility Charge (XF) [Variable]
US International Departure Tax (US) $17.20
Peru Int'l Arrival Tax (DY) $15.00
On the return you have
[share of] US Passenger Facility Charge (XF) [Variable]
Peru Airport Departure Tax (HW) $30.74
US International Arrival Tax (US) $17.20
US Customs Fee (YC) $5.50
US Immigration Fee (XY) $7.00
USDA APHIS Fee (XA) $5.00
So essentially, due to the differences in the Peru tax and US arrival fees, the return is $30 more expensive because that is when the taxes hit. $187 x 2 + $30 more in return taxes = $400ish cost of RT ticket

Not seeming anything out of IAH under $900. Gone?
