Expedition at a glance...

Location: Peru, South America
Duration: 21 to 28 days.
Ideal for: A challenging and varied experience.
How tough 1-5 (5 being difficult): 4.
Typical accommodation: Hostels and tents.
Terrain: Forest, mountain, altitude, jungle and coast.
When can I travel there?: All year round.
Climate:Peru's climate varies considerably by region and altitude. The best time for trekking is Jun - Sep, when days are sunny but nights are cold. The Inca trail is often closed during the wettest months of Jan - Mar. The coast is quite hot and humid during those months, becoming cooler during the rest of the year. As one moves up into the mountains, night-time temperatures become colder. The eastern slope of the Andes, like the Amazon basin, experiences very heavy rainfall during the wet season, so best time to visit would be Apr - Oct.
Culture shock 1-3 (3 being very different from home): 3.

Are any of your friends interested in an expedition?
