What people love about Latin America Tours in July
- The Best of Peru & Bolivia Budget: Lima, Cusco, Sacred Valley, Machupicchu, Rainbow Mountain, Humantay Lake or ATV Tour: Moray & Salt Mines, Titicaca Lake, Copacabana, Sun Island, Uyuni Salt Flats & All Lagoons
The itinery and all the transfers and tours were perfect. I can recommend the tour 100%
Had a great time, felt like i did everything i wanted to do and felt immersed in the culture and did some amazing activities. We were partly lucky because we went in easter, so Guatemala was really special. Everyone really enjoyed Belize and Costa Rica. There's a lot of swimming in waterfalls, having cocktails, and exploring towns. The guides (Bryan for the first half, Manu for the second) were really helpful and bonded with the group, both made the trip easy and fun so we could make the most of the short time we had in each place. I thought the accommodation was good, it is basic hostels, and mainly hotels for the last leg, but some people seemed to expect 4 star hotels, so be aware that you will have a bed, average wifi, and occasionally cold showers. Not a lot is included, but the guided tour of Tikal that is included was amazing - one of my favourite places on the trip. Food on the trip mainly consists of chicken, beans, tortillas and rice. Vegetarians and people with allergies were well catered for, even at homestays. Speaking of, homestays were kind of awkward, no families spoke English so make sure you have google translate downloaded for offline use. However they did add a lot of cultural immersion. A lot of optional trips could be completed using public transport for half the price, check if there are better ways to do activities before forking out $50-90. Examples of this are cenotes, visits to waterfalls and rainforests in costa rica. However, our guides were always happy to assist with this. Most of the tours are worth it however and its nice when a whole group goes somewhere,and you usally get free drinks/food and easier transport. You dont have to bother booking the Pacaya hike or Sarapiqui river rafting. You can decide to do it on the day for the same price (note that the costa rica bundle does have a discount) and you get more flexibility (you may want to do acantengo volcano instead of pacaya, and theres lots of activities to do in la fortuna so you dont want to be tied down to river rafting like I was - it was good tho). Must do activities - Belize snorkelling, any of the caving activities in belize, pacaya overnight hike, sunrise monkey kayak, hot waterfall visit, copan ruins, guerilla hike in suchitoto, santa ana volcano, monteverde horse riding, monteverde night walk, monteverde ziplining/atvs, la fortuna white water rafting or waterfall jumping/rappelling, do all the activities at the last homestay. Bring a mosquito net - spray just doesnt cut it. Overall, the trip was very good value for money when i paid £1400, i dont think i would pay more than £1800. The group bonded well, even though some (me) were quiet. Always felt comfortable and ready for the next day.

What our customers ask about Latin America Tours in July 2026
What are the weather conditions like in Latin America during July?
Throughout Latin America July marks the dry winter season with clear skies and mild temperatures that are perfect for outdoor activities. In Cusco daytime temperatures hover around 68°F (20°C) while nights can drop to 32°F (0°C). The conditions make exploring major sites comfortable especially around Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca. Properties like Casa Andina in Cusco and Luna Salada Hotel at the Salt Flats provide heating and extra blankets for the cool nights. A recent traveler shared "The weather was perfect for hiking in July - sunny days and cool evenings."
Are there any special festivals or events in Latin America during July?
July brings several major cultural celebrations across the region. Peru celebrates Fiestas Patrias (Independence Day) on July 28-29 with colorful parades and street festivities in Lima and Cusco. In La Paz Bolivia the Virgen del Carmen festival takes place around July 16. Hotels like Costa del Sol Wyndham create special festival packages allowing visitors to join local celebrations. One visitor noted "Being in Cusco during the Independence Day celebrations added an amazing cultural dimension to our trip."
What's the typical cost for July travel in Latin America compared to other months?
Peak season rates in July run about 20-30% higher than shoulder season prices. Luxury properties like Palacio Nazarenas in Cusco charge 200-300 USD nightly compared to 150-200 USD in quieter months. Budget-conscious travelers can still find good value at properties like Casa Andina Standard starting around 100 USD per night. According to a recent review "July prices were higher but worth it for the perfect weather and festival atmosphere."
Is July a good time for wildlife viewing in Latin America?
The dry conditions make July ideal for spotting wildlife particularly in Peru and Bolivia's Amazon regions. Visitors to Tambopata Reserve or Madidi National Park regularly see condors soaring over Colca Canyon and flamingos wading in Laguna Colorada. Eco-lodges like Sandoval Lake Lodge run specialized wildlife programs this time of year. As one visitor observed "We saw amazing wildlife in July - from condors in Colca to monkeys in the Amazon while staying at Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica."
What special excursions or activities are recommended for July visitors?
The clear July weather creates perfect conditions for snorkeling Belize's Hol Chan Marine Reserve hiking Guatemala's Pacaya Volcano and swimming in Mexico's Roberto Barrios waterfalls. Bolivia's Uyuni Salt Flats offer exceptional photography opportunities. Visitors particularly recommend "sunrise tours of Tikal" and "afternoon boat rides in Tortuguero" during July visits.
How far in advance should I book a July trip to Latin America?
Book major July destinations 6-8 months ahead especially for limited permits like Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail. Premium lodges such as Belmond Sanctuary Lodge at Machu Picchu often fill up a year in advance. One traveler advised "We booked our July tour 8 months ahead and got our preferred hotels like Sol y Luna in Sacred Valley." Early planning secures better rates and more accommodation options.
What transportation options are available in Latin America during July?
Regular flights connect major cities while buses serve regional routes reliably in July. Train services including the Belmond Andean Explorer and Peru Rail maintain consistent schedules between Cusco and Lake Titicaca. Popular bus lines like Peru Hop increase their departures during peak season. A recent review noted "We had smooth connections in July between Lima Cusco and La Paz staying at convenient airport hotels like Costa del Sol Wyndham."
