Travel Guide

When to Visit

The ideal time to visit Cusco and Machu Picchu is during the dry season, which runs from April to October. This period offers pleasant daytime temperatures and less chance of rain. The months of June, July, and August are the peak season, with more crowds but generally the best weather.

Recommendations

  • Book your tour, especially train and Machu Picchu tickets, well in advance, particularly for travel during the peak season.
  • Acclimatize to the altitude properly before undertaking any strenuous activity.
  • Drink plenty of water and coca tea to help with the altitude.
  • Always carry your original passport, as it is required for entry to Machu Picchu.

Climate

Cusco has a mild climate with two defined seasons. The dry season (April-October) has warm, sunny days and cold, crisp nights. The rainy season (November-March) sees more overcast days and frequent rain showers, although it rarely rains all day. Temperatures in Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu are warmer and more humid as they are at a lower elevation.

Local People

Cusco is a city with a rich cultural heritage. The local people are a mix of descendants from the Quechua people and Spanish colonists. People involved in the tourism industry generally speak some English, but learning a few basic phrases in Spanish is appreciated. Be respectful when taking photos of local people and always ask for permission first.

How to Prepare for the Tour

The main preparation is to acclimatize to the altitude. No special physical training is needed, but you should be prepared for walking and climbing stairs at the archaeological sites. Pack layers of clothing to adapt to the changing temperatures throughout the day.

Recommended Age

This tour is suitable for all ages, as long as participants are in reasonable health and can manage walking at a slow pace at high altitudes. It is a good option for families and older travelers who want to see the main sites without strenuous hiking.

How to Acclimatize

Proper acclimatization is key to enjoying your time in Cusco. Plan to arrive at least one or two full days before your tour begins. On these first days, rest, eat light meals, avoid alcohol, and drink plenty of water and coca tea (mate de coca). Walk slowly and avoid overexertion.
