Five Reasons to Visit Cusco in the Low Season

Cusco, September 27th, 2024

If you’re looking for an authentic and more tranquil experience in Cusco, the low season is the perfect time to plan your trip! Between november and April, the city offers a relaxed atmosphere and unique opportunities to explore. Here’s why you should consider visiting during this time.

1. Fewer Tourists, More Tranquility

During the low season, Cusco sees fewer visitors, which means you can enjoy its main attractions without the crowds. Iconic sites like Machu Picchu, Sacsayhuamán, and Plaza de Armas feel more intimate and accessible, offering you a more relaxed and authentic experience.

2. Better Access to Historical Sites

With fewer tourists, access to archaeological sites and museums is much easier. You’ll be able to take spectacular photos without the usual congestion and explore Incan temples or colonial streets at your own pace. Additionally, lines for tickets are shorter, saving you valuable time.

3. Ideal Climate for Exploration

While you may experience some light rain, Cusco and the Sacred Valley's landscapes appear greener and more vibrant during this season. The temperatures are pleasant, and intermittent rain doesn’t significantly impact tourist activities. In fact, many travelers find the cool climate ideal for hiking and exploring.

4. Authentic Local Culture Experience

The low season also allows you to dive deeper into Cusco’s daily life. Local markets, like San Pedro, are less crowded, giving you more time to interact with local artisans and vendors. Additionally, religious and cultural festivals celebrated during these months, such as Holy Week, provide a great opportunity to experience local traditions.
