The best time to visit Colca Canyon is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During these months, you`ll have more stable weather and clear skies, ideal for photography and hiking.

We recommend wearing comfortable, warm clothing, as temperatures can vary considerably during the day. In the morning and afternoon, temperatures can be cold, so it is helpful to bring a jacket or sweater. During the day, a long-sleeved T-shirt and light pants will be comfortable. Don`t forget to bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses, as UV radiation is high at the altitude of the Colca Canyon.
