If you are planning to travel to Machu Picchu, keep in mind that February and March are the wettest months. So it’s possible that your visit would be affected by the rain.

Also, if you are planning to follow the Inca Trail, the route is restricted during these months. Especialists recommend that to prevent any accident, because there are narrow roads and there is a risk of slipping.
