the Salkantay trek

The best time to visit Machu Picchu is during the dry season (April through October). During these months, there is less chance of rain, so the trails are in better condition.

During the dry season, however, the days are sunnier and the nights are cooler. According to mountaineering experts, June, July, and August are the best times to do the Salkantay trek.
