The best time to visit Machu Picchu is during the dry season, from May to September, when you can expect sunny days, clear skies, and excellent conditions for sightseeing. This is also the busiest time of the year, so booking in advance is highly recommended. The rainy season (November to March) offers fewer crowds and lush green landscapes, although showers are more frequent.

We recommend booking your Machu Picchu Full Day Tour at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance. During the high season (May to September), entrance tickets and train tickets often sell out quickly. If you plan to visit Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain, it's best to reserve several months ahead due to limited availability.

Although Machu Picchu sits at a lower altitude than Cusco, many travelers spend time in Cusco before their visit. To reduce the risk of altitude sickness, we recommend acclimatizing for one or two days before the tour, staying hydrated, eating light meals, avoiding excessive alcohol, and taking things at a comfortable pace. If you have concerns, consult your doctor before traveling.

Morning visits are the most popular because they typically offer cooler temperatures, clearer views, and the best opportunities for photography. Afternoon visits are generally less crowded and can provide a more relaxed experience, although weather conditions may be less predictable. Both options offer a unique way to explore the Machu Picchu Archaeological Sanctuary.
