Peru
The Independent UK and the New York Times have given Peru the thumbs up for a must-vist on their 2017 list. This country lucked out with some of the most vibrant civilisations on earth, the Incas being the most prominent with their magnificent lofty ruins dotting the Andean landscape. With 60% of the country being on the banks of the elegant Amazon, it is not a wonder that the largest number of bird species is found here, along with the third largest mammal population in the world, and a record-breaking number of butterflies and orchids. It is also one of the last few cultural melting pots on Planet Earth, combining the best of the Japanese and Chinese influences that mingle with Spanish and Indian, creating a heady brew of architecture, language and some of the best food ever tasted by man.

Peak Season Description:
Dry season in the Andes and Peru's Amazon rainforest. Enjoy crisp, sunny days up at altitude, in Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca, and superb trekking opportunities against the backdrop of snow-capped peaks. It is also the best time for Amazonian and wildlife explorations as the rains have eased off. An extremely busy time, so you may have to book 8-12 months in advance.
Shoulder Season Description:
Conditions are still wonderful for travel, although it is not the dry season. The Amazonian basin comes alive with wildlife, particularly orchids.; October/November are superb for rainforest treks. Machu Picchu and Andean hotspots are open but trekking may be challenging. Easter still remains a busy travel period.
Low Season Description:
This is the wettest time of year in the Andes and the Amazon. Machu Picchu shuts down completely in February, and the banks of the Amazon spill over, making wildlife spotting untenable. The beaches are still doing fine over this period, but tourist trickle is minimal with the two main attractions (Andes and the Amazon) virtually shut down.
