Peru - it's beautiful and diverse nature makes it the perfect destination for any adventure goer.
Understandably, most travellers come to visit the country’s most famous sites; the extraordinary ruins of Machu Picchu (UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World) and the Rainbow Mountains. These breathtaking sites have appeared in almost every adventure brochure and travel book every published and it's easy to see why.
However, sitting in the shadows of those fascinating attractions, is the real, authentic Peru. Once you have ticked off the bucket-list moments on Machu Picchu and the Rainbow Mountains, it is time to fall in love with the country's traditions. Wind your way through lost jungle-clad civilizations that once gave life to the Amazon, explore their rare and diverse wildlife, soak in the history of Lima and Cusco or immerse yourselves in the indigenous culture and traditional ways on Lake Titicaca.
Whether you’re looking for a true mountain adventure, a cultured escape with a sprinkle of hiking, or an educated history lesson diving into the country's ancient traditions and idiginous ways, Peru will undoubtedly deliver with open arms.

Peru’s climate is extremely varied and is dependent on where you go in the country, therefore, it’s difficult to say when the best time to travel is. If you’re going to the desert coast, expect it to be very hot in December to March and cooler from April to November. If you are itching to explore their mountains and the jungles (including Machu Picchu), the best time to visit is just after the wet season = May - September.. Please note that the trails to Machu Picchu are closed in February when it rains the most, while the trail is at its busiest from June to August. If you do wish to visit during these months, please take into consideration that Inca Trail permits sell out extremely quickly.
