There are 32 types of climates in the world and Peru has 28 of them (87.5% of the total!). In other words, a trip through Peru is interesting and will travel through hot deserts, dry forests, humid savannas, plain rainforests, cold plateaus, cool steppes and icy mountains.
May through October is the dry season; November through April is the rainy season, and the wettest months are January through April. Peru's climate is very different among its three vastly different regions. The coast is predominantly arid and mild, the Andean region is moderate to cold and the eastern lowlands are typically tropical. In Peru it can feel like winter on the coast and yet summer-ish in the Andean highlands and the jungle. Then the next season brings rain in the Andes and the jungle, but a hot and drier summer on the coast.
