Where to start your Machu Picchu trip
Cusco naturally serves as the main gateway to Machu Picchu with Lima at a close second. The sweet spot for visiting tends to be April-May or September-October, when you'll get nice weather and fewer tourists sharing the paths.Late afternoon often gives you the best light for photos, plus the site feels more peaceful as day visitors start heading out. For dealing with the altitude, spending 2-3 days in Cusco beforehand helps your body adjust and lets you properly take in this remarkable UNESCO site.

Best time to visit Machu Picchu
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Machu Picchu in winter (May-September) offers a different side of Peru - you'll find fewer people around and the rains bring out vivid green landscapes. The 4-day Classic Inca Trail stays popular even in the wet season - our customers often mention how impressed they are watching the porters handle slippery conditions while still cooking great meals. If you prefer an easier pace, several tours take the scenic train through the Sacred Valley with extra stops at the fascinating Maras salt ponds and Moray terraces.

- Spring 2026
Spring (September-November) brings perfect hiking weather and our longer tours shine during this time. The 8-day packages that start in the Amazon are popular. You'll spot macaws, learn about medicinal plants and then make your way into the mountains. When trekking through the Sacred Valley, you get proper time with local communities. Our travelers love learning traditional weaving and sharing meals in family homes. For those seeking technical challenges, the Nevado Mariposa climb takes you up to 5,870m where you'll pick up mountaineering skills while experiencing real Andean village life. The classic 4-day Inca Trail hits its stride in spring with clear morning views from Dead Woman's Pass and nice temperatures for camping.

- Summer 2026
Summer's dry weather (December-February) makes for reliable touring. Our most requested tour runs 7 days from Lima to Cusco, mixing coastal desert activities with mountain culture. People enjoy sandboarding at Huacachina oasis and tasting wines in Ica before heading to higher ground. The Quarry Trail becomes a smart alternative in summer, you’ll get views similar to the Inca Trail but meet only 2-3 other groups over three days.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn, March-May, combines great hiking conditions with smaller crowds, making it perfect for deeper exploration. The weather stays steady for multi-day treks and our Inca Trail groups really enjoy the sharp morning views and comfortable hiking temperatures. Several tours tackle Rainbow Mountain, where autumn's clear skies show off spectacular views of Ausangate glacier. Many autumn departures line up with local harvest festivals, where you'll experience genuine Andean celebrations along the way.
