What Influences Mosquito Activity in Moray?

Several factors influence mosquito presence in Moray. The region's altitude—approximately 3,500 meters above sea level—usually deters many mosquito species, but the unique microclimate of the terraces creates pockets of humidity perfect for mosquitoes. Key influencers include:

Rainfall: More rain means more standing water for breeding.
Temperature: Warmer days increase mosquito metabolism and activity.
Vegetation: Dense plant life offers shelter and breeding grounds.

Understanding these helps travelers prepare better. For instance, the rainy season around the Sacred Valley enhances mosquito breeding, so consider protective measures during this period. Learn more about local climate effects at Peru's Meteorological Service.
