Best time to visit Machu Picchu and Cusco

Cacao Harvest Season in Machu Picchu and Cusco 2025

Enjoy the process of making one of the sweetest things in the world - from cacao beans to chocolate

Best time: April–August

You might've have heard and even tasted famous chocolates from Switzerland and Belgium, but what about Peruvian sweetness? April through August is a period of cacao growing and harvesting in Peru. In Cuscos' Chocó Museum (or simply, ChocoMuseo) you will have an opportunity to see different kinds of chocolate, and the factory that features the museum will show you how the chocolate and other cacao products are made. The best thing is they even let you try some of the most delicious samples!
