The city has a warm and dry climate, with temperatures ranging from 60-80°F throughout the year.
When to visit
The best time to visit Chiclayo is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During this time, visitors can enjoy sunny days and cooler nights. The wet season, from November to April, brings heavy rainfall and high humidity. However, this is also the time when the landscape is lush and green. It is recommended to avoid visiting during the peak of summer, as temperatures can soar above 90°F.

Traveller tips
When visiting Chiclayo, be sure to try the local cuisine, which includes dishes like ceviche, arroz con pato, and seco de cabrito.

Learning a few basic phrases in Spanish can help you communicate with locals and enhance your travel experience. Lastly, be prepared for the warm weather by wearing sunscreen, a hat, and staying hydrated.
