Why travel to Peru?
Good Climate
Thanks to climatic factors and its geographical position, the climate of Peru is very varied, in fact, we have 38 microclimates, that is, if you are a sun lover, summer makes you happier, you want a good tan and what you are looking for is a beach destination, you will love Peru.
If, on the contrary, you are a person who enjoys cold climates, the smell of rain, being able to wear your winter outfits and have a good coffee or hot chocolate, Peru has many places where you will be happy. And if you are one of those who adore a beautiful blue sky with sun, where it is neither hot nor cold, we have the temperate climate you need.
From the arid deserts of the coast to the lush rainforests of the Amazon, and the towering peaks of the Andes, Peru offers a diverse array of environments to explore. Whether you're trekking through the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, surfing the waves in Mancora, or simply soaking in the breathtaking landscapes, each region provides a unique experience that caters to every traveler's preference.
Therefore, although there are certain dates on which we recommend traveling, you can visit us in the month you want, and we will always have an option for you.

Our recommendations:
Cuzco:
Although you can come at any time of the year, you can get better landscapes of Machu Picchu from April to October, since there is less rain, there will be a greater possibility of clearly seeing the mountains and you can take better photos of your trip.
Huanchaco
The Peruvian coast:
If you want to visit Lima, “The City of Kings”, or the Peruvian North, the months of October to April are ideal. This is because on these dates we are in spring and summer, so you can enjoy a warm climate, a blue sky, beautiful beaches and wonderful waves.

The best food in the world
It is no news to say that Peru has the best food in the world. Indeed, the World Travel Awards have recognized our country as “The best culinary destination in the world”. This is due to the cultural wealth, the “pachamama” (mother earth in Quechua) with its wonderful soils and our sea, which together with the Peruvian flora and fauna provide us with the necessary ingredients to prepare the more than 5 thousand rich stews with the that we count, such as the 2,600 varieties of native potato.
This country has 3 large regions: Costa, Sierra y Selva (Coast, Highlands and Jungle), which have a varied and representative gastronomy in each of them.
In addition, Peruvians like to try and create new dishes to satisfy their guests. In fact, Peru has used the European, African and Asian influence to its advantage.
