Dear Peru For Less
The trip was great; thanks for all your help in planning it and making it a success. If you're like me and like to let someone else handle all the details, Peru for Less is the way to go. Good work PFL!

Machu Picchu Geography and Climate
Machu Picchu is situated in the convergence between mountain and jungle in the Cusco Province of Peru about 2,450 meters (7,710 feet) above sea level. The city rests between two mountains high above the Urubamba river valley. It is strategically located with steep slopes on all sides and an impassable mountain standing behind it. It was accessed by the Incas from Cusco using the Inca trail.
The Peruvian Andes and Amazon have 2 main seasons: the rainy season and the dry season. The rainy season is between October and April, with the dry season generally running between May and September. During the dry season, temperatures can run from anywhere between 12 C (50 F) at night to the mid 30’s C (upper 80s F) during the day.
Not surprisingly the dry season is the best time to travel to Machu Picchu and this coincides with summer holidays in Europe and North America. July and August are the busiest months and to avoid large crowds, people should aim to travel to Machu Picchu outside of these months.
