During the dry season (May through October), you can expect warm, dry days and cold nights. Though this also coincides with the tourism season, you’ll experience fine trekking conditions.
During the wet season (November through April), you should be prepared for rainy days and occasional mists. As this is a less popular time to hike, you’ll meet fewer people along the way. If you decide to hike the Inca Trail during the wet season, note that the route is closed in February due to annual renovations.
