Machu Picchu in February - Video Trip Report

Hey Team,
I know this time of year always brings so many questions and comments regarding travel in the Sacred Valley. I just wanted to quickly share a glimpse of the experience we had at Machu Picchu last year around this time.

 As you will see, we had some pretty good rain early in the day, but it burned off towards noon and we ended up having terrific weather. The site was just incredible and it was pretty special to see it through all the different weather patterns all in one day. Made for some great Timelapse shots for sure.

I hope the video helps give someone an idea of what to expect in the Valley during January/February. Enjoy!

Thank you!!! This is exactly what I was looking for. I am considering traveling there in Feb, and had so many questions about the weather. This is invaluable, and what a beautiful video. Very much appreciated!

You had similar weather to us when we visited on 15/16 March 2012: sunshine on morning 1, mist and light rain on afternoon 1 and morning 2.

IMO the mist and light rain simply adds to the mystique of this wonderful place.

Nicely assembled video with appropriate soundtrack. Well done!

Likewise to TheBeard19, I have come across a great newsletter recently about how to do Machu Picchu and a guide to doing this trip, whether as a 4 day inca trail or a 1 day trip from Cusco. It is a magical place and whilst Cusco is full of places offering the trip, here's the definitive guide with a few answers.

All the best
