Peak season:
The peak seasons differ slightly depending on where exactly in Peru you are flying into, for example the coast, which includes Lima, is best to visit during the summer months of December to March. May to September is better however if you’re hoping to visit Cuzco, the Inca Trail, Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley as the weather is drier. Jungle Treks are much more enjoyable from May to September. February/March sees the great Carnaval, which is normally held a few days before Lent, and sees the country celebrate with music, dancing and colourful parties. The week before Easter sees the Semana Santa festival which is one of Peru’s best religious events. During any of these events or peak seasons you’ll need to make sure you secure your flight tickets in advance to have a chance of finding cheap flights to Peru.
Off season:
There isn’t much of an off season in Peru as peak months for one area of the country will see an influx of tourists in another. Your best bet is to decide on where in Peru you want to visit and then find cheap flights to Peru accordingly by planning ahead and figuring what events are on and what the climate is like.

How to get from the airport to the city centre?
Lima:
The major airport in Peru is the Jorge Chavez International airport in Lima. It’s only around 11km away from the centre so finding your way isn’t too problematic; however your options are slightly limited. The easiest way is to find a taxi booking desk in the arrival area. Make sure you agree on the fare before you begin the journey, and make sure you have agreed to currency in PEN as some taxi drivers like to scam passengers and confuse them into thinking the amount was in dollars instead. Failing that you can get a bus, however they do not enter the airport grounds and instead you can find them around a 15 minute walk away from the airport. The fare for the bus is incredibly cheap, working out at around £0.16 a journey, however if you’re not keen on taking public transport your best bet is a taxi.
