What people love about Peru Tours in August
- The Inca Journey
Great tour meeting some awesome people, seeing beautiful sights, great food and unforgettable experiences
- 7 Day Andean Experience Through the Living Culture of the Incas
Everything was really good and Percy was an excellent guide.
This was only my second solo trip. Inkayni set up an exciting and adventurous itinerary that insured safety at all times. All of the hotel accommodations were great . The only one that needs improvement would be a better one in Santa Maria. The food was delicious throughout ! Our guide Jonathan went above and beyond to show us an amazing time . There definitely is a level of physical fitness one should have, since the hikes are strenuous

What our customers ask about Peru Tours in August 2025
What is the weather like in Peru during August?
August brings the most reliable weather to Peru with clear skies and dry conditions. In the Machu Picchu area (2430m) temperatures reach a pleasant 20°C (68°F) during the day. Nights can be cold especially at higher elevations like Soraypampa (3920m) where temperatures often drop to near freezing. One TourRadar traveler noted: "We experienced sweat tears and some tough conditions but the beautiful scenery makes it worth it. Take extra layers for all over the body when camping especially at night!"
How crowded is Machu Picchu in August?
The ancient citadel sees its highest visitor numbers during August when weather conditions are most favorable. Early morning visits starting with the first buses at 5:30 AM help avoid the largest crowds. Staying at accommodations like El Mapi by Inkaterra in Aguas Calientes puts you close to the bus departure point. As shared by a TourRadar traveler: "We caught one of the first buses to Machu Picchu to appreciate the magnificent city in the early morning light as the mist dissipates."
What festivals or events happen in Peru during August?
The month brings numerous cultural celebrations across Peru particularly in Cusco during the Santa Rosa de Lima festivities. Visitors can join local celebrations in the Sacred Valley and learn traditional crafts at places like the Ccaccaccollo Community and Women's Weaving Co-op. Hotels such as Casa Andina Sacred Valley and Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba offer easy access to these events. One TourRadar reviewer shared: "The Quechua people taught us so much about community and pachamama (Mother Earth) during our August visit."
What are the best trekking routes in Peru during August?
The dry weather creates excellent hiking conditions on Peru's popular trails. Both the Salkantay Trek and Inca Trail offer clear views of snow-capped peaks including Salkantay (6271m) and Humantay. Trekkers can choose between the standard 4-day Salkantay route with stays at Casa Andina Sacred Valley or opt for the extended 5-day version featuring camping at spots like Llaqtapata with direct views of Machu Picchu.
How far in advance should I book Peru tours for August?
Secure August tours especially those including the Inca Trail 6-8 months ahead as permits are limited. According to a TourRadar guide: "Permits for Huayna Picchu and Machu Picchu Mountain must be booked at least 2 weeks in advance. August is peak season so early booking is essential particularly for popular hotels like Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo."
How much does a Peru trip cost in August?
Peak season pricing applies to August tours. Multi-day trek costs start at 798 USD for Salkantay and reach 1299 USD for the classic Inca Trail. Premium accommodations at properties like Inkaterra or Aranwa command higher rates. A TourRadar traveler noted: "While August prices were higher the perfect weather conditions and amazing views made it worth every penny."
