Peru Climate Battle (warm, temperatures, rainfall, season)

[Warszawa]

Peru has three distinct regions with three completely different climate systems, but also has lots of tiny microclimates thanks to its numerous valleys and mountains. Which one is your favorite?

1) Lima

Crap, forgot to add a poll. Is it possible to edit it?

Ica for perfect temperatures and Arequipa for perfect sun and stablity. Altogether I'd pick Ica though, good seasonality.

A very difficult one.

The dry climates are out for me, even though they have some nice temperatures.

That leaves Cusco -chilly minimums and too high in altitude., or Iquitos -too warm and wet.

I think I'll do the tropical thing for a change, and go with Iquitos.

Cusco

Iquitos.

Iquitos.

The rest are far too dry with the exception of Cuzco, which is too cool. Iquitos is far too wet for me, and I like a little more seasonality, I'm not a fan of monotony, but it's the best of the bunch.

Ica is by far the closest match to my temperature preferences, but it gets virtually no rainfall, that's a big deal breaker. I could live in the desert, provided there's rainy season or monsoon like in the Southwestern US.
