Any time is good to visit Machu Picchu. We recommend the dry season (March to October) because it is conducive to enjoying a brighter sun. However, at this time there are a greater number of visitors.
On the other hand, in the rainy season (from October to March) rainfall is more frequent. At this time there are fewer visitors so you can enjoy the attractions with greater freedom.
Therefore, we consider that the best time to visit the Wonder of the World are the months in between: April-May and September-October.
