RECOMMENDATIONS

  • The weather in Aguas Calientes: Contrary to what many might think, the weather in Aguas Calientes is more humid and warmer than in Cusco. During the day, temperatures can reach 25°C, and at night they can drop to 13°C. It’s recommended to bring lightweight clothing.
  • If you’re booking during the November to April season, you should be prepared for cloudy and rainy weather, so packing appropriate clothing for these conditions will ensure a better experience. The positive side of this season is that you’ll find a more vibrant and lush landscape. Be flexible, as conditions can change rapidly. Keep a positive attitude and enjoy the experience, even with rain! Machu Picchu can be even more mysterious during the rainy season, as its mist-covered landscapes give it a special touch.
  • On the other hand, if you’re visiting during the dry season, from May to October, you’ll find deep, clear blue skies, strong sunshine, and drier landscapes.
  • If you wish to avoid rain, we invite you to check the weather forecast in advance to plan your trip while considering all variables.
