When is the best time to go trekking in Huaraz?

The Andean dry season, from May/June to September, is the best time to go trekking in the Huaraz region.

The shoulder seasons, March-April & October-November, see smaller crowds and lower prices, but the weather is less predictable and you may have trouble finding tours and departure dates.

Hiking during the rainy season, December-March, is discouraged and often simply not possible due to flooding, landslides, and dangerous or inaccessible hiking trails.

Since Huaraz is close to the equator, daylight hours remain roughly 11 to 12 hours per day year-round.
