What people love about Peru Tours in July
- INCA TREASURES - 6 DAYS
A well planned , varied experience with excellent prior planning and local knowledge. Very interesting, different hotels. The local drivers and guides made us feel welcome and at home in their communities.
- WONDERS OF PERU - 9 DAYS – CUSCO & PUNO
Our experience with waman Adventures as an operator was spectacular. The high level of organisation and management of our itinerary was also excellent and reassuring, as we were kept informed of everything that was planned along the way. Each and every one of the guides and drivers was friendly and respectful at all times. Very responsible and punctual in their pickups. We were satisfied with their work and appreciated for all the information and hospitality they gave us. They are perfectly trained to guide their tourists. 100% recommended. Thanks for all.
- Private 7-day Cusco and Machu Picchu Package
After extensive research, we selected Kantu Peru Tours to plan our trip to Peru, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. They seamlessly handled all the ticket bookings included for our planned activities in Cusco, Sacred Valley, Maras and Moray, Machupicchu. The guides in Rainbow mountain and Machupicchu provided by Kantu Peru Tours were exceptional - fluent in English, highly knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful and friendly. We were thrilled to find that most of the tours were in small groups, and on some occasions, it was just the two of us. Additionally, Kantu Peru Tours arranged hotels for us, and we were delighted with the prime locations and excellent amenities of each accommodation. The communication process, both for reservation and during our stay in Peru, was effortless and efficient. We are already looking forward to booking with Kantu Peru Tours again in the future for other experiences.
What our customers ask about Peru Tours in July 2026
What are the main festivals and cultural events in Peru during July?
July marks Peru's most vibrant festival season with Independence Day celebrations (Fiestas Patrias) on July 28-29 taking center stage. The streets of Cusco come alive during the Virgen del Carmen festival in mid-July where local dancers and musicians fill the streets. Recent visitors report the most authentic experiences come from smaller town celebrations outside major tourist areas. Local guides often arrange viewing spots for traditional dance performances and many hotels like the Tierra Viva in Cusco organize special cultural programs during this time.
How crowded are major attractions like Machu Picchu in July?
July brings peak visitor numbers to Peru's major sites especially Machu Picchu. The first morning buses to the site often fill by 5:00 AM and entrance tickets frequently sell out weeks in advance. Tour operators recommend visiting during early morning or late afternoon hours. Recent visitors who took the 5:30 AM bus report having up to two hours of relatively quiet exploration time before larger groups arrive. Working with authorized tour companies remains the most reliable way to secure specific entrance times.
How far in advance should I book a Peru trip for July?
For July visits booking 3-6 months ahead is essential particularly for sought-after accommodations and activities. The classic Inca Trail permits often sell out 6 months in advance. Popular hotels including the Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba in Sacred Valley and Casa Andina Premium in Cusco typically reach capacity by early spring. Recent travelers report even basic accommodations in Cusco and Aguas Calientes fill up quickly during this peak season.
What type of tours are available in Peru during July?
July's clear weather allows for diverse touring options across Peru. Current offerings range from the challenging 5-day Lares Trek (USD 881) to comprehensive 10-day cultural journeys (USD 2799). Many visitors opt for week-long Cusco-based packages (USD 669) that include Sacred Valley explorations. Tour accommodations vary from basic guesthouses to luxury lodges with most mid-range options like the Golden Sunrise Hotel in Aguas Calientes providing comfortable bases for daily excursions.
What are the most popular activities to do in Peru during July?
The dry season makes July ideal for outdoor activities across Peru. The Inca Trail Salkantay Trek and Rainbow Mountain trails see their highest visitor numbers. Beyond trekking visitors find clear views at Machu Picchu archaeological explorations in the Sacred Valley and cultural experiences like weaving demonstrations at the Ccaccaccollo Community. The Humantay Lake trek has become increasingly popular with visitors praising the exceptional visibility of surrounding peaks during this time.
What is the weather like in Peru during July?
July brings Peru's most stable weather patterns with dry sunny days and cold nights. Cusco sees average daytime temperatures of 20°C (68°F) dropping near freezing after dark. The Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu maintain similar daytime temperatures but experience milder nights rarely falling below 0°C (32°F). The clear skies and minimal rainfall create optimal conditions for photography and outdoor activities though the temperature swings require careful packing.
