DESTINATION GUIDE: WHAT TO VISIT IN PERU?
Peru is a land of three very different geographical regions: the Andes, the desert and the Amazon. A trip to Peru can cover all these regions.
The impressive peaks of the Andes Mountains are the highest tropical mountain range in the world and stretch across the entire country. Cusco and the Sacred Valley are essential destinations.Luxury hikes in Peru can be enjoyed with lodge stays or camping, such as the famous Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. For those with a little more time, a customized Peru travel itinerary can include stays at mountain lodges in the Cordillera Blanca or visits to the stunning white city of Arequipa and the condor-filled Colca Canyon.
The desert coast of Peru was once home to one of the oldest civilizations on earth. Here you will find the capital Lima, the mysterious Nazca Lines, the coastal city of Paracas, the northern beaches of Máncora and the impressive pre-Inca sites along the Moche Route.
Large tracts of rainforest cover almost two-thirds of the country. Explore the heart of the Amazon with a luxury Amazon cruise or a lodge in the Tambopata jungle.
Elsewhere in the country, Lake Titicaca invites visitors to discover local lifestyles, while travelers looking to explore lesser-known regions as part of their trip to Peru, They can bring out their inner Indiana Jones in the Chachapoyas region.
WHEN TO TRAVEL TO PERU?
Peru is a destination to visit all year round. Thanks to its geographical diversity, the proximity of the equator and the cold waters of the Humboldt Current, Peru has a series of microclimates that range from the extreme dryness of the coast to the intense humidity of the jungle. There is always average weather at different times of the year, so we take all of this into account for our personal recommendations on what to see and do in Peru as part of your personalized Peru travel itinerary.
The dry season in the Andes and the interior of the country runs from May to October, ideal for luxury trips to Machu Picchu. Rainy season travel, from November to March, usually brings afternoon rain in the Cusco and Machu Picchu region, although the landscape is more lush. At the same time, during the rainy season, the weather is better on the coast in the peak of the summer months, ideal for visiting the Nazca lines and the beaches of Máncora.
