Seasons
Though sunny during the day, it can also get quite cold at night -- which is not unexpected, since Chivay is higher than Cusco! The Colca Valley is lush and green after the heaviest rains from January to March, but most of the rest of the year it is arid and dusty.
The Colca Valley is usually sunny during the day, with temperatures which can reach 30°C, but also can go under 0°C during the camp overnight (especially in July and August). The Desert of “La Joya” is sunny during the entire year and can reach temperatures of 38°C degrees during the day. During the desert rides may occur strong winds, and that’s why we recommend using a “bandana” to protect your mouth and nose.

Dry season (mid April to mid November)
Temperatures usually fall at night and reach 15-20°C during the daytime.

Rainy season (end of November to end of March)
The changes in temperature are less dramatic as the overcast sky impedes the penetration of the sun’s rays and the heating of the atmosphere during the day.


Special Note - High altitude
This ride takes place at high altitudes (2000 to 4500 meters above sea level) and therefore, it is suggested to consume Coca leaves and Coca teas during the first days of the trip. This should help the organism to adapt to the high altitude.
