Weather in Cusco

Cusco is a year-round destination. Rainy season is November to March and dry season is April to October. Annual average temperatures hover around 11ºC (52ºF), dipping below 0ºC (32ºF) in July and hitting 20ºC (68ºF) in summer.

Cusco's peak tourist season coincides with the northern hemisphere's summer (July and August) when hordes of tourists descend. If you want to avoid the crowds but still get the best of the weather aim for the shoulder months: April, May, October and November. If you want to complete the Inca Trail, remember it closes every February for annual maintenance.
