At higher points like the Patapampa viewpoint (4,800 meters) temperatures can drop below freezing at night.

As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The local festivals in June made our visit extra special with amazing traditional dances and ceremonies in the villages around the canyon."

The La Calera hot springs near Chivay welcome visitors throughout the year and provide welcome warmth during June's cold weather. The thermal pools stay at approximately 40°C/104°F.

This schedule covers early morning condor viewing visits to traditional villages like Yanque and Maca hiking the pre-Inca terraces and time at the hot springs.
