It is likely that you still don’t know when to travel to Peru<\/strong> to discover this country with so much historical and cultural richness. You should know that you can travel to Peru all year round, except that, depending on the province, some months are better than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best time to travel to Peru<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The period from September to May is the most appropriate\ntime to travel to Peru. Now, you should also know that the tourist high season\nruns from June to August. This period coincides with the dry season in the\nAltiplano and the jungles of the eastern region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mild season, however, occupies the months of September\nand November, as well as March to May. These months are ideal for travelling\nwithout too many tourists. During this time it is spring and autumn in the\nAltiplano area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the low season, which extends between\nDecember and February, coincides with the rainy season in the Altiplano and in\nthe Amazon. It must be added that the rainy season in the Amazon lasts well\ninto May, and finally, you should know that the Inca Trail is usually closed in\nFebruary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we have to talk about the climate as such, Peru has an\nintertropical climate. This means that in the eastern region it is a tropical\nclimate, in the Andes mountain range you can find an alpine climate, and in the\ncoast it is subtropical. Thus, in the north, in the Andes and in the jungle,\nthe climate is warm tropical, while on the coast, the arid tropical climate\nbrings abundant rains between January and April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Andean zone has a temperate sub-humid climate, with\nrecurrent rain between January and May, and an average temperature of 20\u00baC. At\nhigh altitudes, that is to say above 3,000 metres, the climate is boreal. Here\nthere are also abundant rains between January and May, and temperatures with an\naverage of 13\u00baC. Of course there is snow to more than 5,000 metres, as for\nexample in La Rinconada, an average temperature of 0\u00baC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, the climatic variety of Peru is quite\ndetailed, so if you do not know when to travel to Peru, it is best to decide\naccording to the region you want to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to Cusco<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To visit this city which has been declared a World Heritage\nSite, it is best to do so between May and October. These months coincide with\nthe dry season in this area. You can also visit Cusco between November and\nApril, but it is likely to rain on a continuous basis. The rains can cause\nlandslides or other inconveniences during your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, if there is a perfect month to visit\nCusco, it is the month of May, because there is hardly any rain, and the\nmountainous landscapes are greener and more lush. You will also benefit from a\nsmaller influx of travellers during that month. So, if you want to visit Machu\nPicchu with good temperature and without problems, choose the month of May, or\nany other from the dry season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to Iquitos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want to include the Peruvian jungle in your trip, it\nis best to visit Iquitos and from there travel through the Amazon. To visit the\nPeruvian Amazon, it is best to travel between June and November, in the dry\nseason. The temperatures will be more pleasant, yes, it has a high percentage\nof humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between December and May, however, it is the rainy season,\nso these are not good months to visit the jungle. The average temperature will\nbe 30\u00baC, and the humidity 90%; it is also likely that the forest will be\nflooded, and it will be more difficult to access the trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July and August, on the other hand, a cold front coming\nfrom Patagonia can refresh the temperatures, lowering them from 30\u00baC to 15\u00baC\nfor several days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to the Colca Valley<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Visiting Peru and not admiring the flight of the condor in\nthe Colca Valley is unforgivable, so take note of what the best time to travel\nto this wonderful place is. To begin with, it can be said that the Colca can be\nvisited at any time of the year; however, between March and June would be the\nbest months for your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the climate in the Colca Valley is high\nmountainous, so be prepared for rather cold nights. The days are sunny, with\ntemperatures between 18\u00baC and 25\u00baC, while at night, the thermometer drops to\n4\u00baC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January and February are the months when the most rainfall\nis recorded, so it is not a good idea to choose this period to travel to the\nColca. Also, the fog and the rains could ruin your trip, even preventing you\nfrom entering the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To travel to other wonderful places such as Lake Titicaca,\nNazca, Paracas, Arequipa, or the Sacred Valley, preferably choose the dry\nseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
