Things to do
Travel insurance
Check whether your bank card or home insurance already covers this trip.
If the trip needs a visa, the travel agent or visa centre usually sells the cover it asks for.
Mobile data (eSIM)
Your own plan's EU roaming may already cover this.
Renting a pocket Wi-Fi is the other common way to stay connected.
These are sites people in book with. Each opens in a new tab, on the site's own pages.
Month by month from Boston
No fare history on BOS–LIM yet, so this ranking is climate and crowds only. The price column fills in as the scanner collects.

Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.
Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in US as well as at Lima, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

The year in Lima
Lima has a mild and humid climate with little rain year-round. Practical advice includes dressing in layers due to cooler temperatures, especially in the evenings.
| Busiest |
early Jan to late Mar — This is the summer season in Lima, attracting many tourists due to warm temperatures and lower rainfall.
|
|---|---|
| Quieter, still good |
early Apr to late Jun — This period has mild temperatures and very low rainfall, making it a good time for travelers looking for fewer crowds.
early Oct to late Dec — As temperatures begin to rise and rainfall remains low, this is a pleasant period for visits with fewer tourists.

Written by a language model from the climate figures above. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe.
