Climate
Cusco’s high altitude and proximity to the Equator create a diverse climate with two main seasons, each offering its own unique experiences.
From April to October, the dry season features plenty of sunshine and occasional night frosts. July is the coldest month, with average temperatures around 49.5°F (9.7°C). The rainy season, from November to March, brings warmer average temperatures of 55.9°F (13.3°C) and sporadic, moderate showers typical of the region’s subtropical climate.
