Climate and When
to go
Peru can be split up into three distinct climatic zones. The coastal
region, including Lima, has a desert like climate and is dry and warm
throughout the year. The temperature drops the higher you climb in the
Andes, Cusco is mild during the daytime, while nights can be very cold.
The Amazon is hot and humid all year round. Rainfall is heaviest from
December to March.
Getting There
No direct flights operate into Peru from the UK. Iberia operates a daily
service into Lima via Madrid, alternatively it is possible to fly to
Miami with British Airways and then onwards with American Airlines. Peru
is not renowned for its coastline, if you wish to include a few relaxing
beach days at the end of your trip then you should consider flying with
KLM and stopping in the Dutch Antilles. (La Paz is only served by a handful
of airlines, of these the British Airways and American Airlines option
is probably best.
