What is the best time to travel to Machu Picchu?
May to September (dry season) is the ideal time to travel the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. These months are generally recommended because there is almost no rain.
In the months of November to March the summer (rainy season) is present. This season is usually very rainy, which makes it difficult to walk and access. You won’t even be able to walk the Inca Trail in February due to the rains and maintenance work.
