Seasons
:
Cusco is a year-round destination. This is a land of great contrasts. In the high altitude, it can get very chilly, even into the 30’s at night and then zoom into the 70's during the day. When we descend
into the cloud forest, the temperature rises into the 80's. Although the dry season normally persists April through November, it can rain or snow at high altitudes at
any time of the year, so please, come prepared.

Annual average temperatures hover around 11°C (52°F), dipping below 0°C (32°F) in July and hitting 20°C (68°F) in summer. Cusco’s peak tourist season coincides with the northern hemisphere’s summer (July and August) when hordes of tourists descend. If you want to avoid the crowds but still get the best of the weather, aim for the shoulder months: April, May, October and November.
If you want to complete the Inca Trail, remember it closes every February for annual maintenance.

The rainy months represent around 80% of the annual rainfall average, which ranges from 1,600 to 2,300 mm. The average humidity is 77% during dry months and 91% during rainy months. Frequent downpours are commonly followed by a blue and clear sky and bright sun. However, as its location is on the brow of the Amazon forest, rains can come in any month of the year, even during the dry season.
During the springtime, September brings a special gift of gorgeous, subtropical landscape.

Special Notes – High altitude
This trip covers riding at high altitude, with the starting point being Cusco, at an elevation of 3,399 m (11,151 ft) and going up to about 3,700m (12,139 ft).
The body dehydrates quickly in high altitudes. It is recommended you drink lots of water before and during your trip to Cusco. Also, avoid heavy meals since your stomach takes longer to digest food at high altitudes. A diet of low proteins and high carbs is advisable.
