The best time to visit Chillca is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.During these months, you'll experience clear skies and less rainfall, making it ideal for trekking and exploring the stunning Andean landscapes around Ausangate Mountain. The days are generally sunny and pleasant, though temperatures can drop significantly at night due to the high altitude. This period is particularly good for those planning multi-day hikes, as the trails are drier and more manageable.While the wet season (November to April) brings more rain, it also transforms the mountains into a lush, green paradise. If you don't mind occasional showers and prefer fewer crowds, early wet season (November/December) can still be a good option for a quieter experience, with the added benefit of seeing the landscape at its most vibrant.
