January in Peru

Dry on the coast, wet in the Andes and Amazon

With hot and dry weather along the coast, this is a good time to visit Lima, Trujillo, and the beaches around Tumbes. The summer is the rainy season in the Andes, so expect short but heavy showers most days. Whilst the Inca Trail is open you are likely to get very damp sleeping in a tent for three nights, so Machu Picchu is best visited by train, or by doing the one-day ‘Royal’ Trail, which doesn’t involve camping. It is also the rainy season in the Amazon: with hot and humid weather and lots of mosquitoes, this is not a comfortable time of year to go.
