Clear, sunny days and fresh, crisp evenings – this is Peru in August.
When mild mornings made for seeing more on some of the world's best hikes (think the Inca Trail, the Quarry Trail and the trek to Machu Picchu) make way for breezy afternoons spent exploring the wilderness of the Amazon or sailing close to the clouds on Lake Titicaca, it’s easy to understand why August is the busiest time of year for this bucket-list country.
