In general, the Cusco region has two distinct seasons: the rainy season (November-April) and the dry season (May-October).
In Cusco, the climate is relatively temperate. The temperature during the year varies between 0°C and 19°C / 32°f and 66°f. June is the coldest month.
Machu Picchu has a tropical climate, during the year it remains warm. The temperature ranges between 18 and 27°C /46°F and 80°F.
Rainbow Mountain has a cold climate. The temperature varies between 0 and 12°C / 32°F and 54°F. during the year. In the rainy season there is snow.

You should sleep one night in Lima, rest well in your hotel, and the next day travel to Cusco. Before and upon arrival in Cusco, drink medicine for altitude sickness (soroche). In your hotel in Cusco also drink a coca leaves infusion (the coca has alkaloids), which will help you to oxygenate and acclimatize better. Avoid smoking cigarettes, or drinking alcoholic beverages and coffee that obstruct the best oxygenation. It is a good idea to first visit Machupicchu and then the Rainbow Mountain. This way you will not feel altitude sickness symptoms.
The train company only allows you to travel with a personal backpack (5 kilos/ 11 pounds), otherwise, you will have to pay a surcharge on the cargo train and you will have to go through a long process to send your luggage.
This tour starts and ends in the Cusco city. To join the group, you must make sure your flight arrives at the Cusco airport one day before.
You must book international air tickets from your country to Lima (Peru) and local flights from Lima to Cuzco and hotels in Cusco. We will book for you the entrance tickets to the places to visit and the train tickets to Machu Picchu.
Most travelers arrive in Cusco by plane. You should fly from your country to Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima (Peru) and then take a local flight from Lima to Cusco. There are four airlines that operate round-trip flights between Lima and Cusco: LATAM Airlines, AVIANCA Airlines, Star Peru and Peruvian Airlines. All offer similar flight schedules and services, but we generally recommend LATAM or AVIANCA Airlines, as they tend to be more accommodating when unexpected cancellations or delays occur.
In Peru, 220 volts, 60 Hz frequency and A/B /C type plugs are used.
It is recommended to bring an adapter or converter according to the voltage, frequency and plugs used in your country. Although most hotels and even homes in Peru now have the standard plug.
