The best time for your vacations in Machupicchu is between April and October, they are the months of high season where the limit of tourists exceeds the limits because it is the dry season, however this does not guarantee that there will not be the occasional isolated rain. During the dry season there are fewer clouds and you can enjoy the tour much more in the area.
The climate in Machu Picchu is hot and humid, with an average annual temperature with minimums of 12º and maximums of 24º, so to visit it , is be very important to always wear a coat.
It´s is necessary to make the during the high seasons such as in the months of June to September, we recommend that you reserve your ticket as soon as possible if you travel in those months that is the high season your reservation is to guarantee your tourist spaces.

It is at a height of 5,200 meters above sea level. Therefore, we recommend spending at least 2 days in the imperial city of Cusco for acclimatization purposes, remember that the walk is approximately 5 hours (round trip) if you are not well acclimatized you may have difficulties during the journey.
It has MEDIUM difficulty, with a duration of 3 hours (ascent) at an average pace, this path requires an acceptable physical state because the route includes slightly steep ascents and plains that ascend progressively.
Undoubtedly, this issue is not to be neglected, much less if we find ourselves in a place with a considerable height, so it is advisable to take pills for altitude sickness or soroche, in the same way to have the “Coca Leaves” on hand so popular for their healing and relaxing qualities.
