Weather
The average temperature during the day in Cusco and its surroundings generally ranges between 55º F – 75º F. At night, the temperature drops to 40º F and 50º F. Great part of this tour takes place in the mountains, where the weather can change very rapidly. The temperature at night regularly falls to 25º F and 30º F. This trip is planned for the «dry season», where days are generally clear and pleasant, with very little rain, and morning temperatures usually range from 30º to 40º with some frost in tents and icy plains in some places. While trips carried out in April and November may experience a slightly greater amount of rain, rain throughout the day is unusual. We will walk on several mountain passes having more than 4799 m / 15744 ft, so you must be prepared for unpredictable mountain weather.

Upon arrival in Machupicchu, you will note that the temperature is hotter (53.6º F – 84.2º F on average), then we must also have appropriate clothing for the cold and warm areas.
