FAQS
How is the climate in Cusco?
The climate in Peru is highly variable and does not conform to the typical four seasons. Here in the Andes, you can experience all seasons in a single day! This is why we always recommend our visitors prepare for any occasion, whether it's for rain or sunny days. A significant factor affecting our global climate is global warming, which has contributed to glacier melting in the Peruvian Andes, impacting our weather patterns. Nonetheless, Peru, and particularly Andean cities like Cusco, have two main seasons:
- Dry Season: Generally from the end of April until the end of September, with the first rains beginning towards the end of this period. This is often considered the best time to visit our region and the amazing Machu Picchu to avoid inconveniences.
- Rainy Season: This season typically runs from October until the end of April. During this time, we advise all visitors to pack their belongings into waterproof bags, as sunny mornings can quickly turn into heavy rain. We understand that extreme climates exist worldwide, but this should not deter your desire to explore the world, discover marvelous cultures, and interact with them. Welcome to Peru and Machu Picchu.

I recently went on a tour with a few friends to Machu Picchu and Rainbow mountain led by Elvis. He was the perfect mixture of a professional guide and personal guy. He knew everything about the trip from the beginning of the trail head to the history of… ...
Review of: Raimbow Mountain - Full Day Tour
Rainbow mountain was so beyond beautiful! We added this tour last minute and did it on our first official day in Cusco! (Not the smartest idea since elevation is super high especially coming from sea level! Even higher than Cusco!)
We met up with Elvis (one of the guides… ...
He showed us all the best places to take pictures.
He told us everything you need know about having a blast in Cusco, from sunrise at Rainbow Mountain to sunrise at the club.
He knows all the best stories about Peruvian culture and history.
You gotta eat cuy (guinea pig) though. If you want.
Free warm jacket for my litle friend!
Kenko Adventure Peru founder decided to add a social proyect in all Our tours that means, if you are booking a tour with Us, you automatically are donating a warm jacket for Our litle kids that have very hard living in very cold conditions near by the Andes Mountain
