The high tourist season in Peru is from April to September. This is also the dry season, when hiking is excellent because there is very little chance of rain. However, some people prefer to visit Peru during the low season, from October to March, because there are generally fewer tourists in the city and at the tourist sites. Additionally, during the rainy season, the mountains and valleys around Cusco are green and lush. If you are planning to hike Machu Picchu it is generally best to try to go during the dry season, however we have many groups that go during the rainy season and still have an amazing experience. We offer all our hikes throughout the year and the archaeological sites are open all year round, with the exception of the entrance to the Inca Trail, which is closed throughout the month of February for maintenance.
Due to the geographical properties of the mountains, the weather in the Andes is very unpredictable. The weather here is known for short rain showers, followed by sunshine, followed by thunderstorms. The rainy season lasts from approximately October to March, so if you plan to travel within these months, be sure to bring a waterproof jacket or poncho. If you are traveling between April and September, the probability of rain is lower, but it is important that you bring a poncho so as not to have any problems during the walk, since there will be light rains. The Cusco region is generally hot during the day and cold at night. In the summer, between October and March, it can be in the mid-80s during the day and drop to around 50 degrees at night. In the winter, between April and November, it can reach up to the mid 70s and then drop as low as 30s at night. The weather at night varies significantly depending on altitude. At Cusi Travel, we provide you with warm North Face tents to sleep in during camping trips, but in any case, make sure to bring a warm and light thermal fleece or sweater for the night. For more information on what clothes to bring on your trip to Cusco.
Be sure to always carry cash with you, as some places do not accept credit cards. Most stores and restaurants also require you to pay in Peruvian soles, but you can always exchange money at a “Casa de Cambio”. There are also many ATMs in the city of Cusco, but they generally have limits and withdrawal fees. For more helpful money tips.
