When to go to Peru?

– The dry season in the Peruvian Highlands where Machu Picchu is runs from April to November. As a result, shoulder season including April, May, September, and October is optimal for fair weather and fewer people.
– The summer months of December to March are warmer but wetter, with the Inca Trail closed in February.
– Every 24 June the Inti Raymi Inca festival takes place in Cuzco, and it attracts national and international crowds. It is for this reason that we recommend early bookings.
– Even though Amazon is an all year round destination, there are different seasons, check our Amazon Jungle information.
