WHEN TO TRAVEL?

 Peru is a great destination for year round travel. The peak time to go is May to October as this is generally drier with better visibility in the mountains. However during the wetter months travellers are rewarded with less busy sites and greener flora and fauna, particularly at Machu Picchu where the orchids bloom in abundance.
The coastal climate is dominated by cloud from April to November with sunshine from December to March. In the jungle there are rains all year round but more pronounced from November to April, from May to October there are occasional cold snaps (where the temperature can drop to around 10ºC).

Peru has everything you could want of a destination – beautiful mountain scenery, pristine jungle, barren deserts, the mysterious wonders of the ancient Inca civilisation, Spanish colonial influences and a rich indigenous culture, not to mention the wonderful locals who make you feel so welcome in their fascinating country.

REGIONAl SPECIALIST FOR peru
“I was born and raised in Italy, graduating in modern languages at Rome University before moving to England where I started working for a tailor-made tour operator for 5 years. I have travelled extensively in Europe, especially in the Balkans, and fell in love with Latin America during an eye-opening trip 2 years ago. Amongst my favourite memories is spotting Machu Picchu through the mist at the Sun Gate, during the Inca Trail, and dancing Cuban salsa at La Casa de la Musica in Havana!”

“A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE PERU HIGHLIGHTS”

“Visiting Misminay village was a rewarding and genuine encounter with local Andeans and a fascinating insight into Andean life and their spiritual beliefs.”

“The view of Machu Picchu was unforgettable. Nothing prepares you for its majestic setting and a feeling that this place is charged with energy.”

“Rowing across the calm waters of an oxbow lake was magical, made all the more special by seeing giant river otters and caiman just a few feet from the raft in the Amazon.”
