As British travellers increasingly look beyond southern Europe for summer holidays, Peru is emerging as an appealing alternative for those seeking comfortable temperatures, outdoor adventure, culinary delights and cultural discovery. While much of southern Peru enjoys its dry season between May and October, daytime temperatures typically range from 12°C to 20°C, creating ideal conditions for sightseeing, hiking, and wildlife experiences. For travellers looking to swap crowded beaches and soaring temperatures for mountain landscapes, historic cities and authentic cultural encounters, Peru offers a refreshing change of pace.
