Peru Family Adventure Highlights
Tour itinerary
Lima – Watershows and coastal walks
Begin in Lima with two nights at Casa Republica Barranco Boutique Hotel, a stylish and relaxed stay near parks and the beach, with breakfast included. Settle in with a stroll through the leafy garden or explore the bohemian Barranco district, known for its street art and galleries. In the evening, enjoy the Magic Water Circuit’s dazzling light and music show, a hit with both kids and adults. For extra adventure we can help you add a bike tour of Miraflores or a chocolate tasting experience.
Sacred Valley – Adventure and Andean life
Fly to Cusco and descend into the Sacred Valley for easier acclimatisation. Your family base is Las Qolqas Eco Resort for 3 nights with breakfast included – with mountain views, open-air hot tubs, and family tents under the stars. Try zip-lining across a canyon, get your hands dirty making traditional clay pots, and explore the salt pans of Maras where white terraces glisten in the sun. Visit the traditional market at Pisac and enjoy lunch with a local family. Kids will love climbing the stone terraces of Ollantaytambo Fortress and hearing the myths that echo from its walls. Looking for more? We can set up a family cooking class or a picnic by the river.
Machu Picchu – Inca magic by train
Hop aboard the train to Aguas Calientes – watching the jungle zip past through panoramic windows. Stay at El MaPi by Inkaterra for 2 nights with breakfast included, a cool and comfortable base in town. Your guided tour of Machu Picchu turns history into a storybook adventure, with tales of sun gods, secret stairways, and temples built for the stars. Walk through cloud forest paths and spot llamas grazing where Inca royals once walked. There’s time to relax in the town, play cards in the hotel lounge, or take a gentle nature trail nearby.
Cusco – Llamas, chocolate and treasure hunts
Train back to Cusco and settle into Casa San Blas Boutique Hotel for 3 nights with breakfast included, a cosy base in the artisan San Blas neighbourhood. Start with a scavenger hunt that takes you to hidden alleys, carved stones and quirky local spots. Dive into a hands-on chocolate workshop and learn how the Incas sweetened their cacao. Make a stop at a llama and alpaca farm, where little ones can meet, feed and learn about these curious animals. Want to try a family yoga class, stargazing from the rooftop, or add-on a creative afternoon with a local artisan? Just say the word.
Amazon – Canopy walks and wildlife calls
Fly to Puerto Maldonado and travel by boat to Inkaterra Hacienda Concepción for 3 nights with all meals and jungle excursions included. Settle into a wooden cabana and fall asleep to the sounds of the rainforest. Days here are full of adventure:
- Walk across hanging bridges
- Take a twilight boat ride to spot caimans,
- Meet local communities
- Nature walks
- Bug spotting
- Boat paddling
Journey back to Lima for your departure flight!
Travel back to Puerto Maldonado and fly to Lima to connect with your international flight. If your family wants a day room to rest, a beach break to relax, or even a quick visit to the desert dunes near Lima, we can make it happen.
