Machu Picchu Travel Forum

Hello all,
Just wondering if someone could tell me what the weather is like in MP at the end of May? I want to pack as light as possible. Can anyone give me advice on how I might be best covered?

Thanks!
Andrea

I visited late April and the weather was perfect! The recommended time by most experts is mid-April to May, or September to October, to avoid the rainy season and the tourist crowds. However, due to the unpredictability of the weather, things may change...

From Weather.com you can find the averages for that time of year in Cusco, http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/wxclimatology/monthly/graph/PEXX0008?from=month_bottomnav_business

Average daytime highs 67f (19c) and lows of 36 f (2c) with very little chance of rain. You will want to dress in layers.
