MACHU PICCHU HOTELS |
|
|
The Machupicchu archaeological complex is located in the
department of Cusco, in the Urubamba province and
district of Machupicchu. It is perched on the eastern
slopes of the Vilcanota mountain range, a chain of
mountains curtailed by the Apurimac and Urubamba Rivers.
At latitude 13º7' South and longitude 72035' West of the
Greenwich Meridian, Machupicchu is located at a height
of 2,350 meters above sea level (main square).
It is located in a subtropical zone, or dense wood, the
reason why the climate is mild, warm and damp, with an
average year-round temperature of 130C during the day.
One can perceive two distinct seasons during the year:
the rainy season from November to March, which is a time
of heavy rains. Visitors are advised to dress
accordingly during this season. The dry season from
April to October brings on higher temperatures. |
