The Best Times for Astrophotography in Peru

Peru’s climate varies from region to region, but generally, the best time to capture the night sky is during the dry season, which runs from May to September. During these months, the skies are clearer, and the weather is more predictable, offering optimal conditions for both day and night photography.

However, be prepared for chilly nights in the mountains and deserts, where you’ll need to bundle up while you capture the stars.
