Spanish Course in Peru

Climate

June to August is the dry season in the highlands, and this is the best time for trekking. The wettest months are from January to April, which make trekking a muddy proposition. On the coast, Peruvians visit the beaches during the sunny months from late December through March. In the eastern rainforests, it naturally rains a lot. The wettest months are December through April but it rarely rains for more than a few hours and there's still plenty of sunshine to enjoy.

Food

Typical Peruvian dishes are tasty and vary regionally. Seafood is obviously best on the coast, while the Inca delicacy - roast guinea pig - can be sampled in the highlands. Other dishes include: lomo saltado (chopped steak fried with onions); cebiche de corvina (white sea bass marinated in lemon, chilli and onions, often served cold with a boiled potato or yam); and sopa a la criolla (a lightly spiced noodle soup with beef, egg, milk and vegetables). A combination of taxes and service charges are added to bills in the best hotels and restaurants and can total as much as 28%, so be ready for it. The cheaper hotels and restaurants don't add taxes. Tipping is not expected in budget restaurants. A tip of between 10 and 15% is fine in upmarket restaurants if a service charge has not already been added to the bill.
