Galapagos and Machu Picchu - Best Time of Year

Recommended Posts

We are just back from the Galapagos. (Can't answer Machu Picchu). Really liked the time of year we went. Just missed the rainy season, and the birds were actively mating and doing their mating dances. Plus the water temp was supposedly warmer than it is after June. So we were very pleased!

We have not gone to Machu Piccho--it's on our Bucket List--but we do know someone who is from Peru. Her suggestion was summer for Machu Piccho, which was really not what I was expecting. Apparently much less rainy. (Our summer months)

End of summer/early Fall is a nice time to visit Machu Picchu and Peru in general. Shoulder season so smaller crowds and still great weather. We went in September and had an amazing trip. It's also still dry season in the rainforest so didn't have to deal with much rain/mud or many bugs/mosquitoes.
