Which month is the best to travel to Peru?



Why pick just one? If you are planning a vacation consider Peru in your plans for year round travel! You can visit anytime but can you leave? Be prepared to stay up all night long if you like to party. The food year round is delicious & inexpensive if you are a foodie. Of course Peru and its cities like Lima, Cusco and Iquitos can’t be beat for a sample of unique history, architecture and nature. From the highlands to coast and through the jungles of the Amazon Peru is a treat for every taste.

Here are some seasonal suggestions to help you decide:

Pacific Coast: December to March is the warmest season with beautiful blue skies and crystal clear waters. Like any beach you might need a light jacket to be comfortable during the breezy summer nights. Many secluded and romantic beaches are hidden for you to discover as you explore this 1,500 miles of secluded coastline – most of the best finds aren’t on any tourist maps.


Andes mountain highlands: The Andes experience 2 seasons. The rainy season between November and March is filled with heavy rains and cold temperatures. Many backpackers choose the season of rain to visit because of the lower cost of the slow season. However, most travelers plan their visit to the Andes during the dry season from April to October. Vivid mountain landscapes are framed by blue skies and sun. In the Andes the sun is the key, in the shade of the mountains it is chilly but you can warm up under Inca sun.


The Rainforest Jungle of the Amazon: A visit to the Amazon Rainforest is the experience of a lifetime. One of the last pristine and untouched landscapes on earth, the virgin jungle is a gift for those who love nature in all its glory. Unique species extinct in other latitudes still thrive in this land. It rains a lot in the Rainforest so plan on bringing your rain gear. The wet season runs from November to May with many choosing to visit during the dry season of June through October. Just remember both seasons are HOT and humid with an average daily temperature of 82 F. If you are brave enough you can sleep in a nature preserve and return home with exotic tales for your family and friends.
