Best Time to Visit Peru
Peru's dry season from May to October is the best time to visit Cusco and Machu Picchu. The rainy season from November to April brings clouds to the mountains but lush green landscapes. Lima is overcast year-round due to coastal fog. The Amazon is accessible year-round, though the wet season from December to April raises river levels for better wildlife viewing. Always download offline maps before heading to the Sacred Valley or the jungle.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
