Although a trip to Peru no matter what time of year is enjoyable, knowing what the weather patterns are can help you to pick the best time to visit. Peru’s two seasons are wet and dry, or summer and winter. The dry months (winter season) runs from May until October, and the months of July and August in particular see a lot of tourism traffic.

From November/December on to April marks the rainy season, and hotter temperatures. During this time the coast is extremely hot and very humid, making it a little less than pleasant. Although the temperatures in the mountains are considerably cooler during this time, the heavy rainfalls throughout the Andes can be dangerous.

All and all, the best time to come to Peru is during the dry season, particularly from June to September. The later in the season you come, the fewer tourists you will run into, but the closer you will get to the hot, rainy season.
