Questions & Answers about Mi viaje a Perú es en febrero o marzo.

Why aren't febrero and marzo capitalized?
In Spanish, the months of the year are always written with lowercase letters. The same rule applies to the days of the week and the seasons!
Do I always use en to say "in" a certain month?
Yes! Just like in English, you use en right before the month to say when an event is happening, like en febrero for "in February".
Why is it viaje a Perú instead of viaje en Perú?
The preposition a means "to" and is used to show your destination. Since a trip (viaje) involves traveling to a place, we use a Perú. If you said viaje en Perú, it would mean you are already there and taking a trip entirely inside the country.
Why do we use es instead of está here?
You might remember that the verb estar is used for physical locations, but here we are talking about when an event (the trip) is scheduled. In Spanish, you always use the verb ser (which gives us es) to tell the time or date that an event takes place.
