Did you know that the 5-day Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu is ranked among the very top ones in the world! It is a challenging, amazing adventure across the highest paths of the Andean range! On this blog we will tell you about the best time of the year to do this exciting tour.
The peak trekking season to Machu Picchu occurs during the dry season and is busiest between May and September. The Classic Inca Trail is very busy during these months and permits sell out months in advance. Those who don’t get permits for the Inca Trail typically overflow onto the Salkantay trail, which means that between May and September the route can be busy.
The Salkantay trek can technically be completed all year round, although we highly recommend avoiding the months of December, January and February when rainy days are the norm.The best trekking months run from the shoulder wet months March / April all the way through to the shoulder dry months October / November.
Temperatures throughout the year follow a very consistent pattern. Days are warm, in the high twenties Celsius (70/80 Fahrenheit), and cold at night and in the early mornings (single digits Celsius and sometimes below zero degrees).Temperature fluctuation is further exasperated by the micro-climates that dominate as you ascend and descend in altitude.
In conclusion, the best trekking months run from the shoulder wet months March / April all the way through to the shoulder dry months October / November. From June to September are the most popular months to do the trek, due to summer vacations in Europe and the US. It is generally thought that May and October offer the best weather conditions.
