When to perform the Inca Jungle?

This variant of the classic Inca Trail lasts 4 days and 3 nights, and as it was said, some of its attractions are taking new routes and also include mountain biking on day 1. There are no camps, at night we will stay in hostels and family inns. The factor that you must take into account when choosing the Inka Jungle is the weather, so we will describe the conditions in the Cusco region.

• Dry or high season: goes from April to October. There is no rain, the temperatures at the elevations are cold, and very cold between June-August, usually with strong winds. But obviously the absence of rainfall increases the number of visitors. As the Inka Jungle approaches the Machu Picchu region, the climate becomes warmer, subtropical. For those who will do adventure cycling on day 1, mountainous and dry terrain may be more attractive.
• Rainy or low season: during the period from November to March. Strong rains happen, but they are brief, not daily, the wind and the temperatures are less cold, approaching Machu Picchu the solar heat and brightness will be greater than in the other months. Many tourists are suspicious of the rain, but others decide to adapt, for example using waterproof implements such as overcoats and boots. Finally, the more adventurous do not worry about it and face the forces of nature with greater emotion. In the case of those who will mountain bike, if that day had rain, it does not mean that the route is impassable, it would be a little more demanding. Ultimately, if the conditions for cycling on day 1 were inadequate, we have a support van that will take us. Finally, in rainy season many if not all businesses in Cusco offer discounts and promotions, also the number of tourists on the roads, hotels and Machu Picchu is less.

In conclusion, it is totally up to you when to make the Inka Jungle. Cusco has tourists 12 months of the year. Dependerá si usted quiere realizar una aventura en temporada seca o una aventura más extrema en temporada de lluvias. El Inka Jungle está disponible también en febrero, no cierra como el Camino Inca clásico y el Camino Inca corto.
