What is the climate like in Peru and Ecuador?
During the trip to Peru you will stay in two very different climatic zones; the desert-like region of the coast and the highlands from Arequipa to Cuzco. In the coastal region temperatures are generally warm all year round. Directly on the coast there will be a thick fog from April to December, but as soon as you go more inland this fog will disappear. For the first part of this trip it will be convenient to bring along some light clothing. The weather in the highlands may best be divided in the dry and the wet season. The dry season runs from May to November with a completely blue sky during the day. Especially during this period it will often be very cold at night in the high mountains. During the day the sun will make the temperatures rather pleasant, but as soon as the sun disappears it will become cold. Therefore you want to be sure to bring warm clothing for the mornings and the evenings during this period!
