The city lies half in the mountain side and half in a big and rather arid valley, at an altitude of 2600 meters above sea level. Therefore, weather is on average cold, especially in the morning and evening. it is famous for being a windy city so bring jackets if planning to go around. Due to the altitude, sun during the day can be rather burning on the skin so some skin protector is wise. Expect temperatures around 15º to 30º during summer and 0º to 20º during winter. Temperatures higher and lower can be expected in unusual days though, and cold wind is expected all year round. Rainy season occurs from July to October.
