Peru

Incan trails climb to mystic heights, May to September unveils a dry Andean wonder

6 spots5 speciesJuly
The best time to visit Peru is between May and October, when dry days unveil Machu Picchu and the Andes in stunning clarity. With 15°C to 25°C weather, it’s perfect for trekking the Inca Trail, exploring Cusco, or boating Lake Titicaca. For fewer crowds, try April or November.
