Due to the diversity of areas in the Country the nature
offers us an extensive range of climatic variants
because that one finds in Peru almost all of the
climates of the world.

The climates of the Peru can be divided in the
following way:
Coast Region (Lima, Trujillo, Chiclayo, Nazca,
Paracas, Ica):
From April to September is the coldest period. It is hot
in the summer mornings and between the end of December
and March the sky is clear. During the night, it can
become somewhat cool, thereby making it necessary to
wear a jacket.

Mountain Region (Andes: Cusco, Puno, Cajamarca,
Huaraz, Arequipa):
There are two distinct seasons, marked by the presence
or lack of rain. The rainy season is between November
and March, with frequent and heavy rainfall which can
last some hours, especially during the afternoon. The
altitude and the almost constant presence of clouds
avoid the temperatures becoming too hot. Although it is
summer in the southern hemisphere. The dry season is
characterized by a blue sky during the day. The
temperatures remain comfortable while there is sunshine,
but it is generally cool at sunrise and sunset.
Rainforest Jungle (Puerto Maldonado, Tarapoto,
Iquitos):
As in the High Andes (mountains), there are also two
seasons: one from November to May, during which it rains
practically every day, for various hours, and another
from June to October, known as the dry season, when
heavy but short periods of rain can fall. The climate of
the jungle is essentially characterized by humidity that
varies from between 80% to 100%, depending on the
seasons, and the temperature, which varies little, is on
average about 28ēC.
