🇵🇪Overview of Peru
Peru’s dry season from May to October offers a perfect climate for exploration. With minimal rainfall and clear skies, it’s ideal for hiking. On the trails, temperatures typically range from 0-20 degrees Celsius. The stark temperature difference between day and night, coupled with intense UV rays during the day, means you’ll need to pack accordingly. At altitudes above 4500 meters, expect chilly mornings and evenings, with temperatures around -5 degrees Celsius.
🔸Time difference: 13 hours behind China
🔸Visa: Enjoy visa-free entry with US, Canadian, Schengen visas, or a US green card, allowing stays up to 180 days
🔸Language: Spanish is the primary language, but tourist areas and major transport hubs have English signage. In Cusco and the Machu Picchu hot springs town, English is more widely spoken. Download translation apps in advance for seamless communication.
🔸Currency: Nuevo Sol (SOL), though US dollars are also commonly accepted
