The restrictions that EastBay1K mentioned are referred to cabin luggage. You will have no problems if your larger liquids go in your checked luggage.

Speaking of Perú. One of the things that my dad usually brings from the US is Tums. Ibuprofen (and generic OTC stuff) you can find for cheap. There's even a handy nationwide price search engine. About femenine hygene products, in Lima pads are pretty much the norm, so if you prefer tampons then bring some as those are expensive there.

13. What about rain? Is that a very rainy time of year?

In Lima rain is pretty much non-existant year round.
