February and March are prime times for the grape harvest, leading to Pisco and wine production, with festivals often accompanying the season.

The cooler, dry season from May to October is ideal for exploring the desert oasis of Huacachina and enjoying dune buggy rides and sandboarding.

October marks the start of warmer weather and increased marine life activity, making it a good time to visit the Paracas National Reserve for bird and sea lion watching.
