Machu Picchu is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World and a top, sought-after, priority destination for everybody visiting Peru! On this article we will tell you about the best season to do this must tour so you’ll have the ideal vacation!
Visitors need to know that the Cusco region has two very well distinct seasons throughout the year: rainy and dry.
What the best Season to do the Machu Picchu 1-Day Tour?
Rainy Season
It goes from November to March, with heavy rains although brief and not very frequent. However, when it’s not raining, the weather is warm, with blue, clear skies and full sunlight, perfect for a great journey.
So, as long as rain does not interfere and we have to wait until it is over, this season is also a quite recommendable time to visit the citadel. (Remember there are two long shifts every day for touring the site: 6:00 am until 12:00 noon and from 12:00 noon until 5:30 pm, so there is plenty of time for the showers to be over and you can do the complete tour of the citadel, there is no way at all the rains will last more than 2 hours, if so).
On this season, you will find the citadel and tourism attractions in general with less visitors, which is an additional motivation for many travelers.
Machu Picchu weather is a bit unpredictable…
Dry Season
Now this season goes from April to October: no rain at all, climate tends to be cold and windy in Cusco City but since the archaeological site is to the northwest, on the border of the subtropical jungle, it is not an issue at all. The opening times are the same as in rain season, they apply all year long.
You will find more visitors but the tours and tourism flux are well organized by Peruvian officials anyway.
So, about what the best season is to do the Machu Picchu 1-day tour, this would be really up to the visitor, because it is indeed possible to have a perfect vacation any time of the year. Quite an advantage for people who may not have time available on dry high season or vice versa.
During this season you can expect clear skies and sunny days ..
