Can anyone tell me what the weather is like in Cusco and Lima in Peru in July and August?

Question

What clothes should I pack for my trip??? Does it get very cold at night?

Answer 1

Lima is horrible in July and August, we're in the middle of winter and it's very humid. Pack a fleece jacket and woolen socks. Cuzco is also cold but it's the dry season in Cuzco so you wont have any rain. You shoud definetly pack winter clothes, some thick jacket on top and a fleece jacket underneath will be enough. It is much better to have layers. Strong shoes (like Timberlands) are a must for Cuzco. Gloves and scarf I wouldnt pack as in Cuzco or Lima you'll find nice alpaca ones which you will definetly need.
