A morning on the coast can start under a grey sky that keeps the desert cool, while inland the sun is bright and thin air makes every staircase feel steeper. In the Andes people dress in layers, and in the Amazon the day bends around a warm rain that comes, goes and leaves the forest shining.
Expect a dry, mild coast, cool highlands with a rainy season and a dry one, and a warm, wet jungle. Pack layers and expect afternoon showers. A Local Friend sits down with you at a table you would not have found, where the soup is hot and the rain falls as it likes.
