If you plan to book a ticket to Peru, you must read this post. But the question is, when is the best time to travel to Peru?

High season: abundant sunshine

The best months to travel to Peru are preferably between April and August.

Domestic and foreign tourists take the opportunity to travel to the country’s center during this period to enjoy strenuous hikes and beautiful views.

In these months you can visit the Amazon region and the mountains of Cusco, Arequipa, Huacachina and many other places.

Low season: magical fog and deserted hikes.

If you want to avoid the worst crowds and are not afraid of some rainfall and mosquitoes, go to Peru in the low season. Due to heavy rains, December to March is the least popular time to go to the rainforest or the Andes.

However, not quite right. Because the gray clouds and fog that show up spontaneously can give an exceptional mystical tone to the jungle and the ancient Inca cities

If you are a hiking lover, remember that the Inca Trail is closed during February due to maintenance work. If you want to reach the wonder of the world Machu Picchu in February with a challenging hike, the five-day Salkantay trek is a worthy alternative.
