Travel season: In many cities and regions of Peru we can observe that we have various climatic conditions and sudden changes. For this we must take into account that there are two well-marked seasons in which trips can occur in a better way:

• Rainy Season: That extends from November to April. Where the frequency of rain is more present and constant during the day. There are even areas of the Andes where we suffer snow storms, for example during your visit to Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain or the Humantay Lagoon, when the weather changes there is snowfall.
• Dry Season: That extends from May to October. Here the presence of rain is much scarcer, however we can have moments when the wind is so strong that it even covers our ears. The good thing that we can observe during our 07 days in Peru is that in that season the climate is warmer and cooler at the same time, which allows us to do many outdoor activities.

Price accessibility: As with the weather condition, for our planning of 07 days in Peru we must take into account that the prices of the services vary according to travel date and there are the following:

• High Season: It is the time when most travelers choose to travel to Peru due to the pleasant climate and it is almost always during the dry season. Due to the number of travelers, availability is easily exhausted and many of the services increase the price.
• Low Season: It occurs mainly during the rainy season, at this time there are fewer travelers in the destinations since the rains are more frequent, this means that hiring accommodation or excursion services can be cheaper, price difference will depend on the length of the trip, hotel category, inclusions, etc. Hotels can offer better rates during this time.
