Best time to visit the Sacred Valley of the Incas

Definitely you will agree with us that the best time to travel through "The Sacred Valley of the Incas", is before arriving to Machu Picchu; but if we talk about the best season to travel to Machu Picchu, without a doubt the best time to visit the Sacred Valley of the Incas is during the dry season (April to October), but we know that there are people who prefer the rainy season to visit places like the valley, and the Inca city of Machu Picchu is the final part of this incredible tour.

When is the best time to visit the Sacred Valley of the Incas?

The best time to visit the Sacred Valley of the Incas is between the months of April and October, the sun shines, the weather is amazing, the rains are scarce and the breeze is really delicious, the only thing that changes during the rainy season is that it rains in the afternoon; although there may be those days when it does not stop raining all day, but still the climate of the Sacred Valley of the Incas is delicious.

However, people who come wanting to get the best pictures of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, may be more interested in coming during the dry season, and the best time for this is in March just at the end of the rainy season, the landscapes of the valley will be green and full of flowers; or in October at the beginning of the rainy season.

Visit the beautiful towns of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, choose one and stay in it; Pisac is beautiful and you will find people from all over the world; the Inca constructions of Ollantaytambo are at the height of what you will see in Machu Picchu, Machu Picchu is the spiritual center of the world and apparently, it will be until its energy disappears.

The Sacred Valley of the Incas and the Andean Rains

Usually the rainy months are between October and March, these months are not the most ideal to visit this tourist area, being a place full of nature, mountains and vegetation is very likely that the fact of having rained a lot will ruin the trip, although there are many people who like to travel at this time because the landscapes are more beautiful.

Those who choose to go during the rainy season are people who really like how the landscapes look in that season, but these people are prepared with the necessary equipment so that no accident happens to them, or they acquire it upon arrival, things like special shoes, waterproof clothing and umbrellas are essential at this time of the year.

The rainy season is between October and March, so it is advisable to visit this beautiful and magical place during the dry season, which is between April and October. In these months temperatures vary between 16 to 20 degrees Celsius during the day and up to 4°C at night.

The Sacred Valley of the Incas and the dry season

In the dry season the weather is much warmer and cooler, a perfect climate as the inhabitants of the villages say, although the nights are cooler and colder, it is not an impediment to enjoy your trip as you should. Whether it is a vacation with your family or friends, or on the contrary, something more romantic like a honeymoon with your partner, in this place there will be options of activities for any member of the family and for whatever you want.

Without the rain you will be able to freely perform activities such as hiking, canoeing in the Urubamba river, horseback riding, walking on trails without danger, enjoy the views of the snow-capped mountains of Urubamba, live new experiences in the qeuña forest and learn about new indigenous cultures of each village that makes up the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

Whatever the time of the year you choose to visit this splendorous place, you can choose any of the ways to get there: one is through the north of the city of Cusco, entering through the town of Chinchero, and the second option is by the road on the east side of the city passing through the town of Pisac, the third option is to enter through the southern valley of the city of Cusco starting in the town of Tipon.

The vast majority of the towns that make up the Sacred Valley are colonial, full of traditions and indigenous cultures that have remained for many years in this area thanks to the passage of the Incas through these places. Patron saint festivals, dances, different costumes, archeology and architecture are some of the traditions that have remained in the culture of these people for thousands of years.
