A very important factor which alter our world is global warming, which has evolved into a high risky contributor due to the glaciers melting in Peruvian Andes, and it also affect the normal development of our weather.
Nonetheless, something that is very marked in our country and in some cities here in the Andes is that we only have 2 main seasons during the year:
Dry Season: We consider the dry season from the end of April until the end of September, in this period the first rains will start. For this reason, this is the best time to visit our region and our amazing Machu Picchu and also avoid any inconveniences.
Rainy Season: This season starts on October until the end of April approximately, so during this time it is advised to all of our visitors to pack their belongings into waterproof bags, as in our region it can be sunny the first 2 hours and then have a heavy rain.
We know that there are extreme climates worldwide, but this must not stop us from our longing and desire to explore the world, to discover marvelous cultures and interact with them. Be welcomed to Perú and Machu Picchu.

Reviews for Lares Trek 2 Days + Short Inca Trail 2 Days
Kenko (and our guide Elvis) spared no detail in our 4 day trek on the Lares route and visit to Machupiccu. The logistics, guiding, meals, and overall experience was incredible. We live in Ecuador, and… ...
My husband and I happened to be the only 2 who took this tour last week and was so blessed to have Elvis as our guide. He was a great communicator, explaining history with facts, not only about the places but about the people and culture as well. I unfortunately suffered from altitude sickness but Elvis was kind enough to ensure we had everything taken care of and would still enjoy the trip. He even brought along some traditional medicine and… ...
We did the Lares hike with 4 kids between 7-10. Elvis was exceptional with the kids and everyone. He speaks quechua, is indigenous and we felt like he was committed to helping local communities to continue to conserve this amazing landscape.
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
