Arequipa travel guide

The climate of Arequipa is one that is especially warm and rather dry, all through the year. Arequipa lies alongside the southernmost tip of Peru’s Desert Coast and enjoys plenty of sunny weather, with daytime temperatures rarely dipping much below 20°C / 68°F or thereabouts.

However, by night, temperatures in Arequipa can drop sharply, particularly in June, July and August, when evening temperatures hover around 10°C / 50°F and can feel quite chilly. Therefore, you will need to consider the climate, seasonal weather and temperature fluctuations carefully when filling your suitcase, and pack accordingly.
