    Kristin

    Asked on December 20th, 2024

    Could you tell me if I would book the tour for November, would it be as good as if I would go in another month or could it affect the tour because of the rainy season?

    Tour Details

      Kristin

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      Could you tell me which different experiences you would have at the rainy and dry season. Would you recommend doing the tour at another month?

    • ContikiOperatorWritten December 2024

      For the "Peru and Bolivia Explorer" trip offered by Contiki, it's ideal to travel during the dry season, which is from May to October. This period generally offers the best weather conditions for exploring the diverse landscapes and iconic sites included in the itinerary, such as Machu Picchu and the Uyuni Salt Flats. Traveling during these months will enhance your experience, as you are likely to encounter fewer weather-related disruptions and enjoy clearer views.

    • ContikiOperatorWritten December 2024

      Traveling to Peru and Bolivia during the rainy and dry seasons offers distinct experiences, each with its own advantages and challenges. Here's a comparison to help you decide: Dry Season (May to October): Weather: Expect clear skies, minimal rainfall, and cooler temperatures, especially in the highlands. This is the best time for outdoor activities and exploring sites like Machu Picchu and the Uyuni Salt Flats. Rainy Season (November to April): Weather: Warmer temperatures with frequent rain showers, particularly in the afternoons. The highlands can be cooler, while the Amazon region is hot and humid. Each season offers unique experiences, so your choice depends on your preferences for weather.

    Asked on July 24th, 2024

    My client is a previous Contiki traveller and when I put in her previous reference number to lock in the additional 5% off, it does not take any money off the price. Do you now how I can get the additional deal?

    Price / Availability
    • ContikiOperatorWritten July 2024

      Sorry to hear that it won't let you lock in the additional 5% off the price adding the previous tour. Please be advised that we can be able to assist you adding your client's previous Contiki tour if you already booked the trip. Past passenger discounts will be verified at the time of booking.
