The Best Time to Visit Lima
Lima has a mild coastal climate with little rainfall throughout the year. Here’s what to expect instead of distinct wet and dry seasons:
- Summer in December to March - Warmer temperatures, sunnier summer months with clear skies.
- Winter in June to August – Cooler but humid temperatures, coastal mist known as garúa can settle over the city.
- Transitional months (April–May & September–November) – A balance of mild weather and comfortable temperatures.
Busy tourism seasons
In general, Lima's summer season can be busier with a livelier atmosphere across the city, but there’s plenty to enjoy any time of year.
- Peak summer season (December–February) – One of the most popular times to visit, particularly for those seeking winter sun or visiting for Carnival celebrations.
- Mid-year travel (June–August) – Visitor numbers can stay higher as many travelers include Lima as part of a wider itinerary to sites like Machu Picchu, which is popular during these months.
- Shoulder months (April–May & September–November) – A more relaxed time to explore, offering fewer crowds while maintaining comfortable conditions for discovering Lima’s neighborhoods.
