The weather in Cusco regions and part of the Andes is unpredictable even if the weather forecast says it’s sunny we can’t trust in it. It is an impossible question for us to answer. Historically April through September is the dry season, November through February is the rainy season and March and October and bridge months - a mixture of both. But the clouds have not followed these rules in the last few years. Prepare for sun and rain no matter when you come. As far as temperatures go, that is consistent throughout the year. Mornings and evenings are always cold. Make sure to bring a fleece jacket for the mornings and a down jacket for the evenings.

Cusco has two well-marked seasons: the dry season, from May to October, with rare rain during the week, and the wet season, from November to April, with some heavy rain during the week. However, in the mountains, it can change easily; some days could have a couple sunny hours and a couple hours of rain.
