Save anxiety, visit to see the place and not make it all about the photo. You can’t change the weather

You need to know about the season of the year you could enjoy the weather, which are from the months of May to October. In the other months, it rains, and it is cold. Wherever, if you go to Machupichu it could be covered with mist early, but later the sun rises and clears the visibility. It is a great show to see in it.

Hi, great video. I actually happened to come across this after my Peru trip, but it would have still been helpful to follow your tips if I found it earlier! That being said, I got lucky with my timing since I had a clear view of Machu Picchu at 7am on the second week of March. It's definitely a good time to go with less crowds that early and at the tail end of the rainy season. What I would add to your suggestions for your viewers would be considering hiring a local guide for the ruins. Other than helping with a photo op, they are incredibly knowledged and enthusiastic about sharing the history and context of Machu Picchu as you travel through, especially with a ticket that gets you into the ruins. It really enriches the experience so I encourage anyone going to consider a guide for your route.
