What is the Weather in Peru like?
Ans. In Quetzaltenango (Xela) where you will be based, the climate is pleasantly cool, with cold nights and warm sunny days, and an average temperature of 16C / 68 F. In winter, from November to February, night time temperatures dip as low as – 1C / 30 F, and because Guatemalan houses and buildings are unheated you will need warm clothes for the evenings and mornings. During the rainy season, from June to August, afternoon or evening downpours are frequent, but there is always sun for a good part of the day.
