Peru

Peru MapsWhen it comes to nature's gifts, Peru seems to have stolen the lion's share.  It possesses the world's most biodiverse rainforests, breathtaking mountains, vast lakes, plunging sheer canyons, extensive deserts and a long Pacific coastline.  Combined with such cultural treasures as magical Machu Picchu, Cusco and a host of other pre-columbian sites and Spanish colonial cities, it is easy to understand why Peru is one of South America's most appealing destinations.
Wildlife-wise, the rainforest reserves of south east Peru are regarded as being the most species-rich in all Amazonia. Parrot clay licks provide awesome avian spectacles, oxbow lakes hold families of giant otter and towering jungle platforms afford unrivalled views over verdant rainforest  canopies.

When to Go

The overriding influence of the Andes causes the climate of Peru to vary widely from region to region. However, the dry season for both the Andes and the Amazon basin normally lasts from  April to October. Mean temperatures differ according to altitude
