We travelled to Peru in 2018, in the month of November. Temperatures were 65F – 75F. Rain and cloudy weather on the day we visited Machu Picchu. Great place to visit, people are warm and welcoming, and food-wise, we were surprised to find the variety of vegetarian options available in hotels and restaurants.
