Frequently asked questions
About Lamay
Lamay is a small town located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, in the Cusco region of Peru. The town is known for its stunning views of the surrounding mountains and its proximity to archaeological sites such as Pisac and Ollantaytambo. The currency used in Lamay is the Peruvian Sol, and it is recommended to have some cash on hand as not all places accept credit cards. The town has a laid-back atmosphere and is a great place to experience traditional Peruvian culture.
When to visit
The best time to visit Lamay is during the dry season, which runs from May to September. During this time, the weather is sunny and mild, making it perfect for exploring the outdoor attractions in the area. The rainy season, from November to March, can bring heavy downpours and muddy conditions, so it is best to avoid visiting during this time.
Getting around
Getting around Lamay is relatively easy, as the town is small and walkable. Taxis are also available for longer distances or for visiting nearby attractions. Additionally, many tour companies offer transportation to popular sites in the area, such as the Maras salt mines and Moray archaeological site.
Traveller tips
When visiting Lamay, be sure to pack layers as the weather can change quickly in the mountains. It is also a good idea to bring sunscreen and a hat, as the sun can be strong at high altitudes. Make sure to try the local cuisine, such as ceviche and lomo saltado, for an authentic taste of Peru. Be respectful of the local culture and customs, and consider learning some basic Spanish phrases to communicate with locals. Lastly, don't forget to stay hydrated and acclimatize to the high altitude slowly to avoid altitude sickness.
