TRAVEL ADVISORY MACHU PICCHU

When is the best season to Travel Machu picchu ? Choosing the best time to visit Machu Picchu is crucial for a memorable and enjoyable experience. Several factors come into play when deciding on the optimal time to plan your trip to this iconic Inca citadel in Peru:

The weather in Cusco is divided in 2 clear season that we call rain or wet season and dry season.

  • Weather is one of the most significant factors influencing the best time to visit Machu Picchu. The dry season, which runs from May to September, is generally considered the best time to visit. During this period, you can expect sunny days, clear skies, and minimal rainfall, making it ideal for exploring the site and enjoying breathtaking views. The wet season, from November to March, can bring heavy rainfall, making trails slippery and potentially obstructing visibility.
  • The number of tourists at Machu Picchu can vary throughout the year. The dry season is popular, and it can get crowded, especially in June, July, and August. If you prefer a quieter experience, consider visiting during the shoulder months, such as May or September, when the weather is still pleasant, but the crowds are thinner.

High season

The high season in Machu Picchu is during the dry season of the highlands: between June and August. During these months you will have almost guaranteed a good climate, days full of sun you can bet on seeing a sunrise in Machu Picchu, but also the prices are high and you will find thousands of tourists in each place you visit.

Season Media

In this season you will be able to visit Machu Picchu with fewer crowds, In this season the rains begin (beginning of the rainy season) occurs between September and November, or autumn , between March and May (end of rainy season).

This is where you will see all the green grasslands full of flowers, but don’t forget to bring a waterproof clothing or buy your rain poncho that you can find anywhere you are either inside or outside the city.

Low Season

The low season coincides with the rainy season, between December and March. It is an option if you prefer to visit Machu Picchu when there are fewer people, but keep in mind that you should be prepared with waterproof clothing or a rain poncho since the rains in this season are unpredictable, but there will also be days full of sun. Of course, remember that in February the Inca Trail remains closed.

The prices in this season are cheaper than the rest of the year, if you buy in advance you will find unmissable promotions.
