Whilst the country doesn\u2019t experience the same extremes as some of its counterparts in the Far East, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/blog\/peru-country-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peru<\/a> still has its own very distinct weather patterns. Generally, there are two main seasons, wet and dry (more on those later), but there are also two shoulder seasons that for many, can be one of the best time to visit. Your ideal time will depend on where exactly you want to go, how willing you are to brave the rain (or not!), and whether you\u2019re happy sharing some of the highlights with others\u2026 Now, read on to find out the best time to visit Peru.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12436\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/peruvian-amazon-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12436\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12436\" src=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1439,height=960,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/best-time-to-visit-Peru-Amazon.jpeg\" alt=\"best time to visit Peru\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=899,height=600,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/best-time-to-visit-Peru-Amazon.jpeg 899w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1439,height=960,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/best-time-to-visit-Peru-Amazon.jpeg 1439w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=375,height=250,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/best-time-to-visit-Peru-Amazon.jpeg 375w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=450,height=300,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/best-time-to-visit-Peru-Amazon.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=512,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/best-time-to-visit-Peru-Amazon.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/best-time-to-visit-Peru-Amazon.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12436\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A cartoonish brown-throated sloth, the Amazon<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>May to October &#8211; dry season<\/h2>\n<p>Whilst May to October usually signals winter in the southern hemisphere, this is actually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/country\/peru\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peru\u2019s<\/a> best (and busiest) season. The weather is marginally cooler, although certainly not cold by northern hemisphere standards, and it\u2019s in these months that the country is driest. If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/machu-picchu-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Machu Picchu<\/a> is on your list, this is the perfect time to travel. Hikers particularly will enjoy the peak conditions of the trails and the slightly cooler days. It\u2019s also an ideal time to visit neighbouring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/cusco-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cusco<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/the-sacred-valley-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Sacred Valley<\/a> (days are eminently dry, sunny and lovely), as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/peruvian-amazon-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Amazon<\/a>. Even though these are the cooler months, temperatures can still hit 32 degrees in the jungle &#8211; which might give you an idea of what the warmer days would be like. In addition, the forest also sees some of its lowest rainfall from May to October. Finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/lake-titicaca-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lake Titicaca<\/a> is also beautiful at this time of year and with its endless blue skies and low chance of rain, it\u2019s truly when the lake is at its finest. Nights do get chilly, however, so pack a warm coat &#8211; and book a lodge with a fireplace!<\/p>\n<p>Down at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/paracas-and-the-nazca-lines-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coastline<\/a>, the cool days and sea mists can certainly add a bit of a chill to the air so sun loungers may wish to wait until the higher temperatures hit. Surfers are also better off waiting until later in the year when the swell is better, but generally it\u2019s still a pleasant temperate for discovering what the coast has to offer.<\/p>\n<div id=\"timbuktu_shortcode\" class=\"alternate is-active\"><div id=\"timbuktu-wp\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css?family=Merriweather:700|Open+Sans:300,600\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/peruvian-amazon-trip?action=DesignATrip&wId=001&regionName=The%20Peruvian%20Amazon&regionId=382\" class=\"no_underline timbuktu-test-class\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_container image-included\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_layout_minimal\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner\" data-entity-type=\"region\" data-country-id=\"183\" data-region-id=\"382\" >\n                    <figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/regions\/kodak_images\/000\/000\/382\/original\/Aria_Amazon__1.jpeg?w=150&h=150&auto=format&fit=min&dpr=2&q=50&crop=center center\"data-country-id=\"183\" data-region-id=\"382\" class=\"timbuktu_minimal_image\" alt=\"Peruvian Amazon Image\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_copy\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_heading\">Peruvian Amazon<\/div><div class=\"timbuktu_button\" style=\"background-color:#128d8d\">Learn more<\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_12438\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/paracas-and-the-nazca-lines-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12438\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12438\" src=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1439,height=960,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/Paracas-best-time-to-visit.png\" alt=\"best time to visit Peru\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=900,height=600,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/Paracas-best-time-to-visit.png 900w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1439,height=960,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/Paracas-best-time-to-visit.png 1439w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=375,height=250,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/Paracas-best-time-to-visit.png 375w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=450,height=300,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/Paracas-best-time-to-visit.png 450w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=512,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/Paracas-best-time-to-visit.png 768w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/Paracas-best-time-to-visit.png 1420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12438\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A star-strewn sky above the Paracas dunes<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>December to March &#8211; wet season<\/h2>\n<p>As the name suggests, this is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/country\/peru\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peru\u2019s<\/a> wettest time of the year and travelling between December to March will mean you\u2019re almost guaranteed to encounter rain somewhere, but certainly not everywhere and certainly not all the time. The temperatures are also much higher and if you\u2019re looking to hit the beach, this is the time to do it. Not only is the weather ideal for relaxing on the sand, the sea temperature is beautifully warm and October to March sees the best swells rolling through for anyone who\u2019s a keen surfer. If the beaches of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/lima-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lima<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/paracas-and-the-nazca-lines-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paracas<\/a> are on your hit list, now\u2019s the time to go.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t mind getting a little wet, this can also be a good time to visit Peru\u2019s highlights. Top sights will be much less crowded than during the dry season, but bear in mind that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/lodge\/inca-trail-trek\">Inca Trail<\/a> closes in February.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/peruvian-amazon-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Amazon<\/a> is pretty much a no go at this time of year. The area receives 80% of its annual rainfall in January and February, and that\u2019s a deluge we wouldn\u2019t like to be caught in! Avoid January and February and there will certainly be less rain, but you will still need to be prepared to get wet.<\/p>\n<div id=\"timbuktu_shortcode\" class=\"alternate is-active\"><div id=\"timbuktu-wp\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css?family=Merriweather:700|Open+Sans:300,600\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/paracas-and-the-nazca-lines-trip?action=DesignATrip&wId=001&regionName=Paracas%20and%20The%20Nazca%20Lines&regionId=388\" class=\"no_underline timbuktu-test-class\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_container image-included\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_layout_minimal\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner\" data-entity-type=\"region\" data-country-id=\"183\" data-region-id=\"388\" >\n                    <figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/regions\/kodak_images\/000\/000\/388\/original\/iStock-940361460.jpg?w=150&h=150&auto=format&fit=min&dpr=2&q=50&crop=center center\"data-country-id=\"183\" data-region-id=\"388\" class=\"timbuktu_minimal_image\" alt=\"Paracas and Nazca Image\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_copy\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_heading\">Paracas and Nazca<\/div><div class=\"timbuktu_button\" style=\"background-color:#128d8d\">Learn more<\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_12439\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/machu-picchu-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12439\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12439\" src=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1439,height=960,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/best-time-to-visit-Peru-Machu-Picchu-1.png\" alt=\"best time to visit Peru\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=899,height=600,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/best-time-to-visit-Peru-Machu-Picchu-1.png 899w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1439,height=960,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/best-time-to-visit-Peru-Machu-Picchu-1.png 1439w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=375,height=250,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/best-time-to-visit-Peru-Machu-Picchu-1.png 375w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=450,height=300,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/best-time-to-visit-Peru-Machu-Picchu-1.png 450w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=512,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/best-time-to-visit-Peru-Machu-Picchu-1.png 768w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/09\/best-time-to-visit-Peru-Machu-Picchu-1.png 1349w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12439\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The awe-inspiring ruins of Machu Picchu<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>April &amp; November &#8211; shoulder season<\/h2>\n<p>We love to travel in shoulder season. No, it\u2019s not the \u2018peak\u2019 time with the best weather BUT it\u2019s pretty close to it and you\u2019ll be riding on the coattails of those balmy, blissful days. For a little beach time, November is ideal. The days are starting to warm up nicely, there\u2019s a great swell coming through for surfers, and the beaches won\u2019t be as crowded as they could be in a month\u2019s time.<\/p>\n<p>Another upside to this time of year is the lack of other visitors. In peak season, you\u2019ll more than likely be sharing the top sights (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/machu-picchu-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Machu Picchu<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/the-sacred-valley-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Sacred Valley<\/a> in particular) with other travellers, so if you want a little breathing space and good weather, consider April or November.<\/p>\n<p>Very lastly, shoulder season can offer better rates. Many properties lower their prices during these months and ramp up the special offers.
