June marks the start of the dry season at this renowned Inca citadel nestled in the Peruvian Andes. Visitors can expect sunny days with average temperatures ranging from the mid-60s Fahrenheit (around 18 degrees Celsius) during the day to cooler evenings in the 40s Fahrenheit (around 4-9 degrees Celsius). Rainfall is minimal, making it an ideal time for exploring the ruins and surrounding landscape. The clear skies also offer unparalleled views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.
This period offers optimal conditions for hiking the Inca Trail or exploring the various trails within the sanctuary itself. The dry trails are safer and more comfortable to navigate, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the historical and natural wonders of the site. Historically, June falls within the Andean winter, a time traditionally associated with clearer weather following the wet season. This predictable weather pattern makes June a popular month for tourism, contributing significantly to the local economy.
