Peru
We are planning our first trip to south america and we plan to visit Peru next year.
We are thinking of visiting in Aug-Sep for 8-10 days. When is the weather best for visiting Peru? |
Aug- Sep is great for the highlands but the coast will be subject to the Garua, the coastal mist and fog that covers much of the coast for six months of the year. So it largely depends on where you are going and what you want to do. If Machu Picchu, cusco and the sacred valley is your main focus, then it is a good time to go.

We were in Peru for 10 days in mid September this year. We spent 2 days in Lima and the rest hiking the Inca Trail and in Cusco. The days in Lima were misty, but nothing that hampered our sightseeing.
