Peru has three very distinct geographical zones, each with its own weather seasons:

1. The coast, which is a desert all along, besides the Pacific ocean. Main cities are Lima, Tumbes, Ica and we can find great tourist destinations like Palomino Islands, the Pachacamac Inca holy site, Tumbes’ beaches, the Nazca lines, among others. From April to mid-September it’s the cold season (Autumn and Winter), which is moderately low in temperature. From mid-September to late March it’s hot season (Spring and Summer), with temperatures that can reach 86°F (30°C). However, as we go north, the climate tends to be warmer all year long. Rains are quite scarce.
2. The Andes range, has different weather. Dry season goes from early April until late October and is mainly cold to very cold, with little or no rain. Now the rainy season spans from November until March, with heavy downfall although brief and not daily. Main cities are Cusco, Puno, Arequipa and some tourism highlights are Machu Picchu, the Inca Trails, Lake Titicaca and the Colca Canyon.
3. Our Amazonian jungle, a tropical paradise with high temperatures all year long (many days it can be 104°F or 40°C) but also with heavy rains during all months. Iquitos and Puerto Maldonado are the biggest towns, while there are amazing destinations like Manu National Park and the Tambopata Wildlife Reserve.

Additionally, it is mandatory to bring sunblock anywhere, anytime in Peru, high SPF factor, also a sun hat and dark glasses.
