Machu Picchu Inca Trail Explorer Tour
There is never a bad time to visit the famous ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru, but there are better times of year to go than others. If you are looking to avoid the crowds, the best time of the year is February when only about 1,000 people per day make the pilgrimage to the sacred spot in the Andes. If you prefer better weather and more people around you, Machu Picchu usually sees around 3,000 visitors a day in its busiest month, July.
If you are going to make the effort to go to Machu Picchu and if you have the health and spirit to undergo a bit a of an adventure, I’d recommend you join a trekking tour like the Machu Picchu Explorer. Taking you along the famed Inca Trail, this nine-day tour offers you the opportunity to get to know the real Peru, while also getting to see some of the most spectacular mountain scenery on this planet. Machu Picchu might be the featured destination, but every day will offer up something new and exciting no matter the time of year.
