The dry season (May to October) is considered the best time for clear skies and pleasant trekking weather. The shoulder months (April and November) are also great as they offer green landscapes with fewer crowds.
If you are planning to visit during the peak season (May - September) or want to hike Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain, you should book your tickets at least 2 to 3 months in advance as they sell out very quickly.
Cusco is at approximately 3,400 meters (11,150 feet). We highly recommend taking it easy for the first 24-48 hours, drinking plenty of water and Coca tea, and eating light meals to acclimate properly.
No vaccines are strictly required for entry. However, if you are visiting the Amazon jungle, a Yellow Fever vaccine is highly recommended, along with consulting your doctor about standard travel vaccines like Hepatitis A and Typhoid.
