What is the best season to travel in Peru?
The best time to visit Peru depends on the specific regions and activities you plan to undertake. In general:

- Rainy Season (December to March): This period is characterized by heavy rainfall, particularly in the Amazon rainforest and some parts of the Andes. While the coast remains relatively dry, trekking conditions in the mountains can be challenging.
- Shoulder Seasons (April and October): These transitional months offer a balance between the dry and rainy seasons. April is a good time for trekking before the peak tourist season, and October is a great time for exploring without the crowds.
