Frequently Asked Questions
Can Machu Picchu be visited during the rainy season?
Yes, Machu Picchu is open all year round. In fact, the rainy season has its advantages: fewer tourists, incredibly green landscapes, and better opportunities for photos without crowds. Just keep in mind that the Inca Trail is closed in February for maintenance, but trains and buses operate normally.
Does it rain all day, or can I still take tours normally?
It usually rains in the afternoons (between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.). Mornings are typically clear or cloudy perfect for taking tours. The key is to start early and plan indoor activities for the afternoon. Always carry a poncho or waterproof jacket just in case.
What clothes and accessories should I bring for the tours?
Essentials: a poncho or waterproof jacket, shoes with good traction (it can get slippery), a backpack with a rain cover, and layered clothing (mornings are cold, but the day can warm up). Also, don’t forget sunscreen — at high altitude, the sun is strong even when it’s cloudy.
