Probably 3 months - the internal flights are really long and expensive. The whole country is very interesting and spread out. I'd visit the northern hemisphere in one part of the trip, and the southern hemisphere in the other. You don't want to be flying Lima - Milan - Cusco - Rome, etc., like a lot of unsuspecting tourists end up booking. If you get a chance be sure to try the Cuy Lasagna.
