The essentials for your adventure, from when to visit to finding your way.
ANCIENT WONDER
High in the Andes, Machu Picchu brings the ingenuity of the Inca civilization into spectacular focus. Stone temples, terraces, and mountain paths meet a landscape that feels almost otherworldly.
Reserve timed entry through the official ticket system well ahead of your visit. Most travelers arrive by train to Aguas Calientes, then take a shuttle to the citadel.
May–September for generally drier conditions.
CULTURE & HERITAGE
In Cusco, Inca stonework supports colonial buildings, markets are full of color, and the Sacred Valley lies just beyond the city. Wander the Plaza de Armas, explore San Blas, and discover the monumental walls of Sacsayhuamán.
Cusco sits at about 3,400 meters. Take your first days slowly, stay hydrated, and give yourself time to acclimatize before strenuous hikes.
May–September; June is especially lively around Inti Raymi.
COAST & ADVENTURE
Wind-sculpted desert, dramatic cliffs, and the wildlife of the Pacific make Paracas an unforgettable coastal escape. Explore the national reserve and take a boat excursion to the Ballestas Islands to see seabirds and sea lions.
Bring sun protection and a windproof layer. Choose a responsible boat operator and keep a respectful distance from wildlife.
Year-round, with warmer weather from December–March.
NATURE & WILDLIFE
Peru’s Amazon is a living world of winding rivers, towering trees, and remarkable biodiversity. Iquitos opens the northern rainforest, while Puerto Maldonado provides access to the forests of Tambopata.
Travel with a reputable local guide, respect Indigenous communities, and consult a travel-health professional about recommended vaccinations and mosquito protection.
Conditions vary by region; river levels shape each season’s experience.

A few things to know before your adventure.
Lima’s Jorge Chávez International Airport is the main international gateway. Domestic flights connect Lima with Cusco, Arequipa, Iquitos, and other destinations.
May–September is generally drier in the Andes. December–March brings warmer coastal weather. The Amazon is warm and humid year-round.
The currency is the Peruvian sol (PEN). Spanish is widely spoken; Quechua and Aymara are official where predominant. Carry some cash for smaller businesses.
Check entry requirements for your nationality and current travel advice. Book Machu Picchu in advance and allow time to acclimatize to altitude.
