What people love about Peru Tours in September
- The Inca Journey
The itinerary for this trip, and clarity of communication from GAdventures was superior. As were our guides! What you get for your money is really good for this trip. That said -- you get what you pay for with accommodations. They were all fine, some a bit noisy, some had crumby towels or showers.... but if you want what you'd consider by American standards "nice lodging," you will have to pay for a little more costly trip. Again, just want to reiterate, this trip is a great value and adventure of a lifetime!
- 7 Day Inca Jungle Adventure To Machu Picchu with Mountain Bike, Rafting, Zip Line and Trek.
Jaime was an exceptional guide. Informative, kind, and funny!
- WONDERS OF PERU - 9 DAYS – CUSCO & PUNO
Waman Adventures planned every detail of our trip without any problems and in private service, everything was just as we requested! They picked us up on our arrival at the airport on time and transferred us to the hotels they had prepared for us, all our tours were amazing, we really enjoyed the culture, the nature, the warmth of the people and the food. I would recommend Tourradar and Waman Adventures without any doubt.
What our customers ask about Peru Tours in September 2026
What is the weather like in Peru during September?
September brings reliable weather to Peru with dry sunny days in Cusco reaching 68°F (20°C) and nights cooling to 45°F (7°C). The Sacred Valley shares these favorable conditions making it an excellent time to visit Machu Picchu where visibility is at its best for photos. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The September weather was perfect for hiking and sightseeing with virtually no rain and comfortable temperatures throughout our stay at Casa Andina Premium Valle hotel in the Sacred Valley."
What are the best treks to do in Peru during September?
The dry September weather creates excellent trekking conditions in Peru. The Salkantay Trek leads hikers through varied terrain from Humantay Lake to misty forests while the Lares Trek connects travelers with local communities. Both routes benefit from clear skies and stable trails. A TourRadar traveler shared: "September offered perfect hiking conditions with stunning views of snow-capped Salkantay Mountain and clear trails through the Sacred Valley."
Are there any special festivals in Peru during September?
Peru's September calendar features the Señor de Huamantanga celebrations in Lima and Cusco's Festival of Spring.

How crowded is Machu Picchu in September?
September represents a sweet spot for visiting Peru as crowds thin out from peak season yet weather remains favorable. Visitors find more space at major attractions like Machu Picchu and throughout the Sacred Valley while services stay fully operational. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Visiting in September meant we could explore Ollantaytambo ruins without massive crowds and our stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Cusco provided easy access to all the main sites."
What should I pack for Peru in September?
September visitors to Peru need versatile clothing for Cusco's variable temperatures. Pack a warm jacket for cool mornings at the Tierra Viva hotel breathable hiking clothes for daytime activities and sturdy walking shoes for uneven terrain. A TourRadar traveler advised: "Even in September we needed warm layers for early morning starts at Machu Picchu and high-altitude sites but could shed them for comfortable afternoon exploration."
