Between
June and October, temperatures can drop to almost about
3º or less at night, but unlike from April to December,
there are no heavy rains.
Generally speaking, Cusco's weather can be cold,
but rarely freezing.
The average annual temperature is 12ºC, ranging from an
average morning temperature of 18º and nighttime
temperature at around 6º
WHEN TO GO TO CUSCO
The ideal time to visit Cusco is between June and
October, when you can enjoy brilliant sunshine from very
early in the day, as is the case throughout the Peruvian
highlands all year round. Nevertheless, it can get
rather chilly in the shade, thus you should always keep
a warm garment with you when you're out and about.
Another important reason for visiting Cusco in
June is the Inti Raymi or "Celebration of the Sun". This
event is a reenactment of the most important ceremony
from Inca times, when the Inca Emperor venerated the Sun
God, and implored Him to grant abundant harvests and
eradicate famine from the Empire.
