The 42-year-old, identified only by her initials N.S., arrived at Bali's international airport from Qatar on August 12, when authorities became suspicious.
'The customs officers suspected her behaviour, and after consulting the police, they did a further check on her,' Bali police narcotics unit director, Radiant, who like many Indonesians has one name, told a press conference.
The officers found 1.4 kilograms (3.1 pounds) of cocaine inside a sex toy hidden in her genitals and in her underwear. Police also accused her of smuggling dozens of Ecstasy pills.
The Peruvian woman told the police she was hired to transport the drugs to Indonesia by a man she met on the dark web in April in return for US$20,000, Radiant said.

Mexican boxer Chavez Jnr deported from US over alleged cartel ties
Mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr has entered a prison in the northern Mexico state of Sonora after his arrest in the United States in July, Mexico's national arrest registry showed on Tuesday. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, in her daily press conference, said the 39-year-old had been deported. She previously said there was a warrant for his arrest for charges of arms trafficking and organised crime, and that prosecutors were working on the case. The Mexican attorney general's office declined to comment. The boxer's extradition comes as US President Donald Trump cracks down on immigrants as part of a promise to deport millions of people. Chavez Jnr, the son of a legendary former world champion boxer Julio Cesar Chavez, was detained by US immigration authorities soon after losing in a sold-out match to American influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul. Mexican prosecutors allege he acted as a henchman for the powerful Sinaloa Cartel, which Washington designated a foreign terrorist organisation earlier this year.
