Cusco When To Go

An influx in visitors from the Northern Hemisphere during these times translates into inflated lodging prices and bigger crowds at the most popular attractions.

Traveling during the wet summer season will give you the most bang for your buck since prices are lower and crowds are smaller; the downside is the unpredictable rainy weather. Luckily, locals are always selling colorful ponchos in times of desperate need.

These months – before the weather gets too rainy, or the conditions become unbearably hot – are the ideal to travel. Crowds are pretty thin and rates are very affordable.
