We love October in Peru

Temperatures are climbing, rain is light and big sites aren’t too crowded. Canoe through the Amazon and stay at an eco-lodge where howler monkeys will provide your wake-up call. Fill up on street food staples like empanadas, picarones and purple corn porridge in Cusco’s lively markets. Or get your heart racing with hikes, rafting and paddleboard adventures through the heart of Peru's wild Andean landscapes.
