The Dry Season (April â September) From mid-April through until the end of September is considered the dry season at Machu Picchu. Days are bright and sunny with daily average temperatures of 18 Â°C (64 Â°F), after sunset (around 6.15pm) temperatures drop down to around 10 â 12 Â°C (50 â 54 Â°F) and evenings are cooler.
The clothing to pack for a trip to Machu Picchu depends on the season. The highland region encompassing Machu Picchu has a dry winter season and a rainy summer. The winter months of May through October are the peak travel months for Cusco and Machu Picchu, largely due to the drier weather and superior road conditions. The wet season of November to April sees a dramatic decrease in tourist numbers.
