What to know before you book
- If you are continuing to Cusco, the altitude change is significant — a night in Lima or the Sacred Valley first is the usual advice.
- Lima's coastal fog season runs roughly June to November and makes the city greyer than travellers expect.
- Domestic connections in Peru are often tight; leave real margin between the international arrival and any onward flight.
