Peru tours in January 2026

Summer's in full swing, so why not join the locals for Pisco sours and ceviche along the coast? In the Amazon, rain drenches the forests, so pack a poncho and hop in a canoe to explore the flooded tributaries – you might even spot a giant river otter or pink river dolphin. The Andean highlands are a bit damp in January, but with fewer trekkers on the Inca Trail and smaller queues at Machu Picchu, it’s worth a little extra mud on your boots.
