Climate - Weather Conditions of the Inka Trail

The following is a brief description of the kinds of climates (weather) you might find when going on an Inca Trail adventure. The climate along this part of the classic Inka Trail varies in all its points. During the day it can be quite warm and sunny; dry during the first two days, and a little humid on the third and fourth days. In the night, the first two campsites of the Inka Trail are often very cold, while the third night is more temperate. The rainy period, in this region, begins at the end of November and lasts until March. Rains at the Inka Trail can be quite heavy at times. Although rains can make your Inka trail hike a little more difficult, the landscapes along the trail benefit from the rain and are and look green and lush for you to enjoy this great adventure.

See the following chart to have a better idea of the weather conditions along the Inka Trail Trek.

Please note that the Inka Trail is closed in February due to heavy rains that can cause erosion and also for maintenance and clean up.

Care for the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu: don't abuse it in ways that promote loosening or erosion of the stonework. Care for the beauty of the landscape: don't leave trash or waste behind and have a great but responsible adventure!
