“It really was a ‘holiday of a lifetime’.”
Verity Burton, UK
The best time to visit the Andean region of Peru is from April through October. The peak rainy months in Peru’s Andes are January and February. We particularly like the months of May and October for this combined Peru and Galapagos holiday, as they are usually much quieter than the peak tourist months, but with good weather. These months also coincide with two of our favourite months for Galapagos.
Galapagos itself is truly a year round destinations thanks to their location on the equator. Each month in Galapagos has its own special highlights as you will see from the information below.
