Best Time to Visit Peru
Peru's dry season from May to October is the best time to visit Cusco and Machu Picchu. The rainy season from November to April brings clouds to the mountains but lush green landscapes. Lima is overcast year-round due to coastal fog. The Amazon is accessible year-round, though the wet season from December to April raises river levels for better wildlife viewing. Always download offline maps before heading to the Sacred Valley or the jungle.
