Cusco has interesting weather due to its height (approximately 3,400 meters above sea level) and it’s closeness to the equator. There are two well defined seasons: a dry and rainy season. The dry season runs from May to October, and then a rainy season following from November to April. . Cusco has a subtropical highland climate. When it isn’t the rainy season, the climate is dry and temperate. The high temperature averages between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius, and the low temperature averages between zero and six degrees Celsius. The coolest months are June and July with a temperature of 0.4 degrees Celsius. Because of its interesting location and altitude, the wind patterns come in big masses from the southwest jungle, Plateau of Lake Titicaca and even Patagonia. There are also south jungle winds that provide humidity and are carried by the east winds as well. Rain is very common, of course, along with frost and hail. Snow is almost never seen. It was in June 1911 that the last snowfall was recorded. The climate at Machu Picchu has a more varied weather pattern. It can rain at any moment and have blue skies the next.
I admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the comments that this is working for you as well. environment
