July is the height of winter in Peru , so although days are typically warm and summery, nights in Peru have the potential to drop to low, near freezing temperatures.

But that’s no reason to discredit this beautiful country, which is home to some of the Amazon rainforest, the Andes Mountains, the South Pacific Coast, and the ancient Incan city of Macchu Picchu.

History and nature combine in Peru, and visitors can explore the Inca Trail, which leads through the Sacred Valley near Machu Picchu and is home to a massive number of archeological sites.

Visitors can explore the ancient Nazca Lines, take a guided tour of the Amazon Rainforest, and learn about traditional Peruvian culture.
