Maps & Weather

As Peru is located on the opposite side of the equator, the seasons in Peru are opposite the seasons in the States. In the Andes, there are no marked seasons, such as snowy winters and hot summers. It is more the rainy season and the dry season. June, July and August are
the driest months, and also the high tourist season. November through March is the rainy season. It rains mostly in the afternoons and
evenings. It is lush and green?.. with all of the crops coming up. Each time of year has qualities that make it an interesting time of year
to visit. It is quite hot in the sun all year round, and the evenings are very chilly. June nights are the coldest. Daybreak can have frosty plants, but freezing is very rare.
