Best things to do in Peru
Whether you like wildlife, trekking, authentic cultural experiences or exploring Peru’s ancient and modern history, there are so many wonderful things to do on a holiday here. Talk to our Peru specialists about a tailor-made holiday combining all the things you’d love to do and see.
When to go to Peru
It is best to go to Peru outside of the rainy months of December to March (note: the Inca Trail is closed in February and we believe it is the responsible thing not to sell it in January or March). The driest months are May to November, so for most travellers these will be the best months to come to Peru. The famous Inti Raymi festival is in June.
