Peru is one of those rare places that stays with you long after you’ve returned home. It’s a country of striking contrasts - quiet Andean villages and buzzing food scenes, ancient stone ruins and untouched rainforest, dramatic mountain journeys and soulful moments of stillness.

Why Visit Peru?

Peru isn’t about rushing from one highlight to another. It’s about slowing down and absorbing layers of history, landscape, and tradition. From walking through Inca ruins older than many civilisations to tasting world class cuisine in Lima, every experience feels meaningful.

Peru’s Culture: Ancient Roots, Living Traditions

Peru’s culture is deeply connected to its land. In Andean communities, traditions passed down from the Incas are still part of daily life from farming practices to colourful textiles and spiritual rituals. Spanish colonial influence adds another layer, visible in churches, plazas, and historic cities like Cusco and Arequipa.

Music, festivals, and food are central to Peruvian identity. Markets are lively, ceremonies are meaningful, and hospitality feels genuine. Cultural travel in Peru is not staged it’s lived.

When Is the Best Time to Visit Peru?

Peru is a year round destination, but timing depends on the regions you want to explore.

• May to September (Dry Season): Best time to visit Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, and the Andes. Clear skies and cooler temperatures make it ideal for sightseeing.

• October to April: Greener landscapes, fewer crowds, and warmer temperatures. January and February see heavier rains, especially in the Andes.

• Amazon Rainforest: Best visited between May and October for wildlife viewing and comfortable conditions.

How to Get to Peru

Most international flights arrive in Lima, Peru’s capital and main gateway. Lima is well connected to major cities across North America, Europe, thereby connecting well with India. From there, domestic flights and scenic rail journeys connect travellers to Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Arequipa, Lake Titicaca, and the Amazon region.
