The presence of the Andes Mountain Range and its rugged geography make Peru a country with great climatic diversity.
The Coast
From Tacna to Tumbes: Mild to warm climate, moderate but with high humidity and dense fog in winter, where temperatures range from 53.6 to 64.4 °F. In summer, there is little fog, and temperatures range from 77 to 95 °F. Heavy rains occur from December to April, especially in the higher areas. During the other seasons, the average temperature is around 68 °F.
The Andes
It has two seasons: summer (April – October), with sunny days, cold nights, and little rain (an ideal time to visit), with temperatures reaching up to 75.2 °F, and at night it can drop to 0 °F. In winter (November – March), there are abundant rains, and temperatures range between 59 and 26.6°F.
The Amazon
Like the Andes, the Amazon has two well-defined seasons: the rainy season (November – March) with abundant precipitation, and the low-rainfall season (April – October), ideal for visiting. The humidity is very high throughout the year. Occasionally, between May and August, the temperature can drop to 46.4°-53.6 °F.
