Along the Inca Trail, you’ll notice significant temperature differences. There is a big contrast between shaded areas and direct sunlight, and it can get cooler in the evenings. Make sure to bring several layers of clothing, including water-resistant layers.
Always have in your bag: good protection against the sun and UV A/B rays. The amount of UV radiation is relatively high in the high-altitude areas of Peru. Even if it looks rainy, always apply sunscreen.
- October to April is the rainy season (rain 3–4 days per week)
- May to September is the dry season (rain 0–2 days per week)
