Season
High Season (June to August): This is the peak tourist season in Peru, including the Cordillera Blanca. The weather is generally dry and sunny, making it ideal for visiting outdoor attractions. However, this is also the busiest time, so tours can be more expensive and require advance booking.
Shoulder Season (April to May, September to October): These months offer a good balance between favorable weather and fewer crowds. There might be occasional rain showers, but the weather is generally pleasant for travel and sightseeing.
Low Season (November to March): This period is the rainy season in the Andes, including the Cordillera Blanca. While the rains can be heavy, this is a quieter time with fewer tourists. Tours are often cheaper, but some areas may be less accessible due to weather conditions.
