Can I visit Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley all year round?
Entry to Machu Picchu is open all year round. The same applies to entry to the Sacred Valley at any of the 2 destinations or archaeological sites. That is, you can visit Pisac and Ollantaytambo. Both destinations in the Sacred Valley can be visited during the first day of the tour. On the second day, you can visit Machu Picchu. To have a safe and comfortable trip, it will be important to have the necessary information about the rainy season and the dry season.
During the rainy season, which starts in November and lasts until March, it is during this time that the rains are present, which can be an obstacle to doing the tour of Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. Both places share the same climatic conditions. In this sense, it is possible to do the tour of both places during the rainy season. You just have to be careful because of unexpected rains, for this you will need a waterproof poncho and, if possible, some other clothing such as waterproof footwear.
As for the dry season, you can also find the same conditions in both places. In Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley, you can do the tour without any problem during the dry season. That is, from the month of April to the month of October. There are not many complications and the trip in general is quite easy to do. You will only need to do the tour with sunscreen and also with mosquito repellent. These last two items will also be necessary for the tour during the dry season.
The best season to travel is quite subjective. It should be noted that the dry season coincides with the high season. During the high season, visits to both the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu increase considerably. In this sense, the tour during this season will have many more people than those who are making the tour. The problem with this issue is that many times some services can be sold out if the necessary reservation is not made in advance. In this sense, you only have to make the reservation for this service 3 or 4 months in advance.

What are the archaeological sites that we will visit on the Sacred Valley plus Machu Picchu Inca Adventure tour?
This is one of the most complete tours that can be done in Cusco. During both trips you will see extraordinary landscapes, all of them with a great cultural and historical wealth. In two days, the tour is organized through different attractions, among which we highlight the presence of Machu Picchu, because it is the wonder of the world. But, we will also find important Inca attractions in Písac and Ollantaytambo. Let’s learn a little more about these imposing Inca buildings.
When you consider taking the Sacred Valley of Cusco – Classic Route tour, you are guaranteeing a visit to beautiful landscapes and one of the most beautiful rivers in the country. Also, a visit to 3 archaeological sites full of history and with a great tradition. These archaeological sites are the vestiges that many tourists want to see. Below is a brief explanation of these places.
- Písac – In Písac we will find the remains of an Inca citadel. In this respect it has some resemblance to Machu Picchu. However, due to its location, the construction and spaces vary considerably, especially in the space and size of each of the most important temples. The Temple of the Sun and the Intihuatana can also be found, but in greater proportion. On the other hand, Písac offers one of the best views of the Sacred Valley. This Inca site was one of the most important of the Inca empire, because it allowed the expansion of the Tahuantinsuyu to continue.
- Ollantaytambo – This site is one of the most impressive and historic that can be found in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. You can also visit the imposing Temple of the Sun, whose remains show large stone walls. Like Pisac and Machu Picchu, you can find that the Inca construction is located on the top of a mountain. The mountain was slowly modified with the presence of terraces that surround the main sector. Likewise, in Ollantaytambo, you can visit some other important temples for the Andean worldview. From this point, you can also find constructions that predate the Incas. All of this makes it a vital point for the history of the Incas.
- Machu Picchu – Machu Picchu is one of the most visited destinations by thousands of tourists worldwide. This makes it an unmissable destination. In addition, since it was only discovered in 1911, you can find the entire urban layout just as it was abandoned. That is why it maintains the very essence of being known as the citadel above the clouds. Machu Picchu is geographically located above the high jungle, very close to the cloud forests of Peru. Visiting it allows you to see beautiful nature and learn more about Inca history.
