Where the Mountains Touch the Sky and Time Stands Still

Best time to see the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu without rain

Just got back from my fourth trek to MP and I'm still thinking about how lucky I was with the weather on this last trip. We did it in mid-May, which is technically part of the dry season, but I've had some experience with rain on the trail too. Anyone else have any thoughts on what month is generally drier for the Inca Trail?
