Peru is home for the top travel destination in Latin America, which is of course Machu Picchu, and for many more! On this article we’ll highlight some fantastic places in our country tourists can visit in September, for a vacation, birthday and so on.
Travel to Peru in September
For example, in the majestic Andean chain, September is dry season (which goes from April to October), thus there aren’t any occasional issues related to rain, which some people dislike, the climate is warmer in general and actually hot in Machu Picchu. Roads and paths are dry, no mud, and the landscapes are almost all the time intensely lightened up by the Sun.
Besides, in September weather begins to cool down in most of the Northern hemisphere, so if you are a little bored of that routine and happen to have spare time, escaping to Peru may be the best thing to do. Machu Picchu and the sections of the Inca Trails which are closer to the western Peruvian Amazon jungle border have a subtropical, quite enjoyable climate, sunny and warm to hot.
Top Destinations in Peru for September
- Machu Picchu: The amazing sanctuary citadel of the Incas has been winning awards and unanimous praise on a regular basis for quite a long time now. Today it actually is one of the world’s best, most wanted travel attractions. Our classic tours allow you to choose between several trains to get there, from the economical to the 5-star, and we even have a backpackers option which is done by hiking and van rides, all the way there. Enjoy the citadel with professional, experienced guides and all our top-quality services.
- Maras Salt Mines: this is really a unique place, a landscape you surely don’t expect to see. Located at a paradisiac spot in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, those large salt deposits were active in the times of the empire and even before, and continue to be so nowadays. They will give you a wonderful view, quietude and pleasant natural energy, in addition to splendid pictures and videos.

It is very original, because includes amazing mountain biking on day 1, many hiking sections across new routes, no camping nights and walking tours of many typical villages. Finally, the unforgettable arrival and tour of the Machu Picchu citadel, and the chance to enjoy the cozy Aguas Calientes village, at the base of the sanctuary.
- Short 2-Day Inca Trail: great choice for doing the Trail! This package is perfect for the ones who want to have the Andean hiking experience without the camping nights and the longer walking stretches, who want to trek the ancient Inca roads with much comfort. We only hike for some 6 hours on day 1, then arrive at Aguas Calientes to enjoy the village and spend the night at a comfortable hotel. On day 2, bus ride and the unforgettable professionally-guided tour of the Machu Picchu complex.

Note: please keep in mind that for both the Short 2-Day and the Classic 4-Day Trails, permits are limited and sell out quickly. We surely advice to start booking procedures with a good time in advance, months in advance. Also, both of them are closed every February.
