Climate in Peru
The tour in Peru takes place within a narrow band of latitudes in the tropics of the Southern Hemisphere, but takes us through some widely contrasting geographic and climatic zones.

The Andes
Here, in a single day, all four seasons can be experienced: cold, sharp nights and early mornings; spring-like mornings; warm/hot afternoons with very strong sun; and chilly evenings. Being well within the tropics, day and night are about equal in length. Peru’s sun rises and sets very quickly, so temperatures can drop quickly. At altitude, temperatures vary sharply between sun and shade, with rises and drops in altitude and depending on whether ground is sheltered or exposed.

In South America Sherpa offers a tour in Peru.

Peru is probably the most well known trekking destination in Latin American but back in the sixteenth century it was Europe's major source of treasure and home to the largest, or at least most extensive empire in the world at that time - The Incas. A considerable amount of the country's appeal lies in its Inca relics, especially Machu Picchu, which remains the most popular trekking destination in the whole of South America. Such tours whether they are along the classic 'Inca Trail' or at a more leisurely tourist pace, take in historical delights such as Cuzco as well
