Following Peru’s dry season, blue skies and sunshine persist throughout October, making it one of the best times of year to visit the South American nation. Delve into the Amazonian jungle with a stay in an eco-lodge or head for the snow-dusted Andes, before exploring the enchanting cities of Cusco and Lima. Falling during the country’s shoulder season, Peru October holidays also promise fewer visitors, so you can marvel at the lofty heights of Machu Picchu and capture the Incan citadel on camera without the crowds. The country’s capital, Lima, is particularly lively during October, with the Señor
de los Milagros (the Lord of Miracles) parade. As one of the most important Catholic events in the world, the celebration sees the streets filled with religious processions and is a cultural phenomenon well worth experiencing.

Peru customer reviews (5 reviews)
4.4/5
Our trip to Ecuador was due to start on Monday October 21 but was cancelled the afternoon before because of civil unrest in Quito. Kate transformed this disaster into a triumph. Working incredibly hard on Monday and Tuesday and from a standing start she has organised a terrific holiday for us in Peru and Ecuador. It is better than the holiday we had booked to go on and Kate dealt with all our questions on Monday and Tuesday while also booking the flights, hotels, transfers etc. It is Wednesday and we have already set off, all thanks to Kate. She has shown professionalism and charm throughout. We are so grateful to her.
