Best: Jul-Oct · Great: Nov-May
Rain is a non-factor here almost every month — the real story of the year is temperature, swinging from July's cooler stretch to February's peak heat. In August, expect highs around 17°C with rain on roughly 2 days of the month.
Lima's food scene, widely considered South America's best, is the main draw, with the desert oasis of Huacachina a popular day trip further south.
Try ceviche, Lima's signature dish, alongside a pisco sour — Peru's national cocktail, made with the local grape brandy.
