Peru
Periodo migliore per visitare Lima
Lima has a weird, foggy desert climate. It's never hot like the beach suggests, and the 'summer' months are grey and drizzly. You get clear skies and warmth only from December through April.
✦ Go in January for sun and energy, or April for good weather without the crowds.
✅ Best months
December to March: sunny, warm, and the city feels alive. January is the peak of summer with the best beach weather, though crowds and prices are higher.
🔥 Peak season
January and February. Summer holidays and the Señor de los Milagros procession in October (though that's autumn) draw crowds. Hotel prices jump 30-50% and flights fill up.
💷 Shoulder (best value)
April and November. Still pleasant temperatures (around 22°C), far fewer tourists, and hotel rates drop 20-30% compared to peak summer.
🌙 Quietest & cheapest
June to September: the garúa (drizzle) season. Grey skies, cool temps (15-19°C), and persistent mist. Cheapest flights and hotels, but outdoor plans suffer.

🧳 What to pack
Always bring a lightweight fleece or windbreaker—even in summer the coastal breeze can be chilly, and winter will be damp and cool.
