Independence Day is a federal holiday in the USA commemorating the Declaration of Independence in 1776 from Great Britain. Commonly known as the Fourth of July it is widely celebrated from California to New York and is associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, speeches and ceremonies. It’s a great time of year to visit the USA – but any time of year is a great time to go see this magical country.

 

 

 

 

If you’re thinking of visiting one of the world’s most iconic archaeological sites, the best time to go is from June to August in the dry season. However, even during the wettest months in Peru it rarely rains for more than a few hours at a time, apart from in the humid rainforest where it rains all the time. We recommend the dry season as the best time to go trekking on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, or climbing, hiking and mountain biking in other areas. Create your own ancient civilisation tour by combining this Andean adventure with the stone statues of Easter Island and the Aztec temples of Mexico.
