Salkantay Trek Weather

  Planning your adventure with Alpaca Expeditions? Understanding the Salkantay Trek weather is essential for a comfortable and memorable journey. The trek experiences two main seasons—dry (April to October) and wet (November to March). During the dry season, you can expect clear skies, sunny days, and chilly nights, ideal for trekking and photography. The wet season brings lush green landscapes but frequent rain showers, making trails slippery. Alpaca Expeditions recommends packing layers, rain gear, and sun protection to adapt to changing conditions. No matter the season, the breathtaking views of the Andes and Machu Picchu make every step worth it.
