Price and when to book

Book 2–3 months ahead: it's the golden rule for a golden fare. October, November and early December are strategic months, but advance booking matters more than the month itself.
Airline and stopovers
Air Canada operates this route with 2 stopovers. There are no direct Paris-Lima flights, so expect a total journey time of 15–18 hours. Multiple stops are standard on intercontinental routes like this one; connection times are usually reasonable when Air Canada handles them.
Best time to visit Peru
The dry season (May to October) is ideal: clear skies, mild temperatures on the coast, and perfect conditions for Andean trekking. December to April brings rain to the jungle and cloudier skies around Machu Picchu, but fewer crowds. Flight prices tend to peak in July–August (European summer holidays) and Christmas. Shoulder seasons (April–May, September–October) often mean cheaper fares.
What to do when you arrive in Lima
You'll land at Jorge Chávez international airport, 16 km from the city centre. From there, explore Lima (world-class food, museums, Miraflores district), head to the highlands for Cusco and Machu Picchu, or visit Nazca. Most travellers spend 2–3 days in Lima, then head to the mountains. Airport buses are cheap; official taxis are also safe and affordable.
