This journey goes in and around town, the most important in Inca times, now home for very warm people who welcome visitors with open arms. Includes all main archaeological sites. Check the Cusco City Tour best months, for an unforgettable excursion!
First, it is important to briefly say that in this city (and the entire region actually), we have two very defined climate periods all year round. The Cusco City Tour best months will depend entirely on you and the vacation plans. Also, the package can be the perfect addition for any Inca Trail, like the Classic 4-Day or the easier Short 2-Day Inca Trail and finally, can finely complete one of our Machu Picchu packages, for example, the integral Machu Picchu plus Huayna Picchu hike – 2 days.
Doing the Cusco City Tour – November to March
This is called low or rainy season, because the number of visitors is smaller due of course to the downfalls. However, these do not happen every day and are really short, one can see visitors from all over the world all through the year in this town. The climate is warm, sunny most of the time, and nature acquires its strongest and more beautiful colors.
As a suggestion, you could plan the Cusco City Tour package for mid-February, which is Carnival week here in the region. There is an added atmosphere of joy and celebration in town. Locals set street markets full of typical, cheaper products, there are regional dances, music, food, beverages, street parades and so on. You will be surrounded by Cusco’s most essential, best folklore!
Doing the Cusco City Tour – April to October
On the other hand, these months are called high or dry season. The number of visitors increases because, of course, the total absence of rain. Weather is cold, particularly between June-August, also windy, but still there will be days with much sunlight.
We have two great, premium suggestions for these months: first, the majestic Inti Raymi on June 24th, a festivity which recreates the original Inca one at its best, the worship of the Sun God and welcoming the new lunar year. It is currently conducted at three historical-archaeological spots in town, and TOUR IN PERU offers a great package for witnessing and enjoying this amazing ritual.
Second, at the Moray Inca site, on October 8th, we have the Moray Raymi. This place is a countryside jewel, with warm weather and circled by green mountains, where back in the empire days an agricultural research lab was active. This occasion, the sacred, typical ritual aims at giving thanks to the Sun god for a plentiful, abundant harvest (agriculture was Inca economy’s foundation). Experienced actors fully reenact the liturgy, costumes, music and choreographies of old epochs. You can also book it with TOUR IN PERU!
