Sacred ValleyCan you do the Ausangate trek in November?

It has usually started to rain by November, so hiking Ausangate from November onwards is not a good idea.
In fact it can be snowing in places by November. We had a group there recently and it was not fun for them due to the weather conditions. If it has to be November, the Inca Trail or Salkantay are good options.
