Best time to visit
The best season depends on your route. The Andes are generally drier from May to October, while the coast and Amazon follow different patterns. Plan around the regions you intend to visit.
Weather and packing
Temperatures change dramatically between coast, highlands and rainforest. Pack adaptable layers, sun protection and rain gear, and allow acclimatisation time above 3,000 metres.
Planning your visit
Eight to fourteen days allow several destinations at a reasonable pace. For a shorter journey, focus on one or two regions and avoid taking a flight or overnight bus every day. Lima is the main international gateway. Domestic flights and buses connect the regions, but distances are large and connection buffers are important.
