Recomendations
When to go to Machu Picchu?
- To plan the tour to Machu Picchu, first decide the season in which you will visit Cusco in Peru.
- There are 2 seasons in Cusco: the dry season (April to October) where there is not much rain and the rainy season (November to March) where fluvial rainfall is more frequent.
- Once you have decided on the date you want to visit the Wonder of the World, buy tickets to Machu Picchu in advance.
- Make the reservation of the Machu Picchu entrance with time in advance. So you can better plan tours, hotel reservations, trains, flights and more.
- If you are going to do the Inca Trail, book your tour 4, 5 or 6 months in advance. Otherwise you will not find availability.
- The entrance ticket to the Huayna Picchu mountain must also be purchased up to 3 months before.
- Remember to have your passport and identity document in order: check the expiration date.
