South America Travel: The Top Months to Visit Peru


You have all year to go on vacation, but when is the most effective time to go to Peru in particular? Based on the countless festivals and holidays the country has, we have the following suggestions. Yet, the weather (rainy and dry) seasons also have influence.

February - The northern beaches: For the reason that Peru lies south of the equator, the seasons are inverted with those in the northern hemisphere. For this reason, February is the height of summer and the best time to check out the country's best beaches. When there could possibly be crowds at the major destinations of Mancora and Tumbes, there are plenty of quiet choices to uncover just above and below those spots along the coast. The Peruvian Pacific Oceanfront is dynamic sufficient all the time and good for each beginner and skilled surfers.

June - Cusco and Machu Picchu: Each and every year, 58 days immediately after Easter, the locals of Cusco, the oldest city in the Americas and once the seat of the mighty Inca Empire, participate in the pilgrimage of Lord of Qoyllurit'i. The critical but fascinating procession has lately been named as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, officially marking it as a culturally substantial event to knowledge. As properly, June is the dry season producing it the top time to take a look at Machu Picchu and hike the Inca Trail.

July - Huacho: If there is one particular exceptional cuisine the Peruvians are recognized for it, it is cuy, otherwise known as guinea pig. While recognized as a food item, the individuals also really like the little animals as cuddly icons of their heritage. In Huacho, there is an annual cuy festival where guinea pigs are dressed in clothes and contests are held to parade them about. Afterwards, indulge in a plate of fresh cuy.

September - Andes trekking: Peru is one of the leading trekking nations in the world with its magnificent Andean mountain range stretching completely down its lateral side. September is the preferred time to visit the Andes for the reason that it is the starting of the low season, meaning the climate is still favorable enough, and the crowds have thinned. Base your self out of the city of Huaraz, about 8 hours northeast of Lima, for some of the most spectacular landscapes on earth.

October - Lima: Almost everybody makes their way to the capital city at some point, and it is a critical cease on many Peru travel packages. If you can, visit during the month of October through which Lima is colored purple with decorations for honoring the city's patron saint, Senor de los Milagros. Participate in the downtown's processions where thousands of devout followers carry the saint's image down the busy city streets.
