Local style + dress code
Lima is mild + cloudy ('garua' mist) — surprisingly cool for a coastal city. Light layers + waterproof shell. Almost no sun in winter (Jun–Sep).
Dress code: casual
Public holidays in Peru
Plan around national holidays — many businesses close, transport gets busier, and prices for flights/hotels can spike.
Money & currency
The Peruvian Sol (PEN, symbol S/.) is the official currency. Live exchange rates are updated daily.
What to pack
Each city has month-by-month packing lists computed from local climate data — temperatures, rainfall, peak hazard seasons, and Peru's dress code.
