Peru is divided into three geographic regions with three different climates:
Coast Region
The weather around the Coastal area of Peru is characterized by moderate temperatures, moderate humidity and not much rain.
Highlands Region
The highlands region enjoys much cooler temperatures and less humidity than both the Amazon and coastal areas, although it does rain frequently during the summer months.
Amazon rain forest Region
The Amazon area is a region of extremes so expect high temperatures, heavy downfalls and high humidity.
If you’re unsure where to begin your tour of Peru, three of the most popular regions amongst first time visitors include Lambayeque, La Libertad and Arequipa.
All of these three mentioned regions offer plenty of opportunities for outdoors pursuits, walking tours, and enjoying a bit of shopping at one of the weekend markets.
