What people love about Peru Tours in January
- Machu Picchu Adventure
This was our second G adventures trip and it was the most amazing trip to hike to Machu Picchu.
- Southern Treasures - 8 Days
The tour was amazing until day 5 when we joined the larger tour group to go to Puno. Then it was disappointing. I am quite sure that if we had been given The option of paying a little bit more and staying with Paul and the group that we initially had we all would have gone for that option. The guide was not able to translate everything into English, was difficult to understand and the tour bus was too large and the driver was driving very quickly and I times we felt not entirely safely. The last day going to uros Islands and Taquile Island was very good.
- WONDERS OF PERU - 9 DAYS – CUSCO & PUNO
The tour was good, but could be better.
What our customers ask about Peru Tours in January 2026
What is the weather like in Peru during January?
Peru's January climate varies significantly by region. The Andes including Cusco sees frequent afternoon rain showers while Lima maintains mild temperatures around 75°F (24°C) with noticeable humidity. Cusco temperatures range from 54-70°F (12-21°C). The Hotel Miramar in Lima provides a comfortable base during this humid period though tours to higher elevations like Rainbow Mountain often face weather-related adjustments.
What unique festivals or events happen in Peru during January?
The cultural calendar peaks in January with the Trujillo Marinera Festival where dancers compete in Peru's national dance throughout the month. Cusco celebrates Three Kings Day on January 6th with local processions moving through Plaza de Armas. These celebrations transform city streets into displays of Peruvian tradition with dancers music and regional foods. One TourRadar traveler mentioned "the festivals brought such amazing energy to the city and gave us a unique glimpse into local traditions."
What are the best hiking trails open in Peru during January?
While the Inca Trail closes in February the Salkantay and Lares treks offer excellent alternatives in January. The paths near Colca Canyon remain open though hikers should pack rain gear. The seasonal rains create bright green landscapes along the trails. Many hikers base themselves at properties like El Mapi by Inkaterra in Aguas Calientes which serves as a comfortable starting point for various treks.
What are the best indoor activities and attractions are recommended for rainy January days?
The rainy season presents perfect opportunities to explore Peru's cultural spaces. Options include workshops in Cusco's San Blas district the extensive Larco Museum collection in Lima or hands-on cooking classes. Arequipa's Santa Catalina Monastery provides covered pathways for exploring colonial architecture. One TourRadar traveler shares "rainy afternoons were perfect for experiencing local museums and enjoying hot chocolate at historic cafes in Cusco's Plaza de Armas."
What is the availability and pricing like for Peru tours in January?
January's shoulder season status means tours typically cost 200-300 USD less than peak periods. Most activities run as scheduled except for the February Inca Trail closure. TourRadar data shows decreased bookings on routes like the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu resulting in smaller groups and better availability at preferred times.
