Peru
Whether you’re a history buff or an all-out foodie, you’re sure to fall in love with the delights of Peru. March-June is the country’s shoulder season, meaning that you’ll enjoy fewer crowds without compromising on the weather. Spend your days exploring the ancient magic of the Incan ruins first hand, and your nights indulging in an iconic Pisco sour (or two!).

With the sun making a welcome reappearance from its winter hibernation, Provence’s café culture, seaside hikes and picnicking pleasures all return alongside it. Wander gently through the lavender fields or soak up the soul of Cassis; you won’t regret a visit to France.
