the weather.

September is spring for us, or the end of the dry season (winter) and the start of the wet season. But Samaipata is not tropical, as we are at 1700ms, so it does not rain that much in the rainy season.

Expect temperatures between 25-28 C in daytime and 18-20 C at night.

for a European the weather in Samaipata is perfect, warm but never too hot, cool but never too cold.

hope this helps.

Saludos
