The first opportunity to plant stoneseed in Peru should be estimated by checking out the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Stoneseed

When to plant:	After the last frost.

It's a bad idea to plant stoneseed until after the last frost has passed because they are not cold tolerant.

The earliest that you can plant stoneseed in Peru is April. However, you really should wait until May if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant stoneseed and expect a good harvest is probably August. Any later than that and your stoneseed may not have a chance to really do well. Starting your stoneseed indoors is a great way to get them started a couple of weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

Remember that USDA zone info for Peru is just an average and the actual date of last frost will vary from year to year. Since half of the time in Peru there is a last frost after April 15 be ready to protect your stoneseed if you have one of those late frosts.
