Importante

Protector solar: No importa en qué temporada viajes, la radiación en Perú es alta y necesitas protección solar constante.

Zapatos de trekking: Para caminatas largas en la selva o la montaña. Son los que necesitas para recorrer mejor Machu Picchu y sus montañas aledañas.

Impermeable: Si viajas a la selva o Cusco lo más probable es que te encuentres con lluvia, por lo que la ropa impermeable es ideal.

¿Qué llevar a Perú según la temporada?

Las estaciones en Perú no son tan intensas como en Europa o en el extremo sur de Latinoamérica. Sin embargo, sus climas internos son muy variables. Tanto que en una misma ciudad se puede sentir mucho calor durante el día y mucho frío durante la noche.

Además, las estaciones intermedias como el otoño y la primavera no están tan definidas, por lo que se puede sentir frío a finales de septiembre, cuando ya ha terminado el invierno.

Recuerde que las estaciones en el hemisferio sur son:

Verano: Diciembre a marzo.
Otoño: marzo a junio.
Invierno: junio a septiembre.
Primavera: de septiembre a diciembre.

¿Cómo hacer la maleta para el verano?

En Lima la temperatura oscila entre los 20° y 27° grados sin lluvias, mientras que en Cusco llega a una máxima de 17° pero sí llueve, por lo que, además de ropa ligera, deberás llevar ropa y zapatos impermeables, así como botas de lluvia.

On days when you are walking in Lima during the summer, it is advisable to take a fine jacket with you for windy nights. Remember that Lima faces the Pacific Ocean and the sea breeze can be cold at night. You can wear shorts but, if you go to the jungle, you should take the same precautions as in tropical climates and protect yourself against mosquitoes, especially in the rainy season.

What to bring to Peru in winter?

In Puno, at almost 4000 m.a.s.l. the winter is relentless, with temperatures below zero. However, in the rest of the country it is tolerable if you travel with a good coat. A plush, hooded, long-sleeved jacket may be sufficient. However, you should also pack thicker pants and sweaters, closed shoes and some headgear. Since these clothes take up a lot of space in your backpack, consider the option of thermal clothing that comes with built-in winter heaters.
